7 Customer-Centric Trends That Will Shape Retail In 2023

7 Customer-Centric Trends That Will Shape Retail In 2023 | Guest Service | Scoop.it
Loyalty is lucrative, after all. Consumers spend an average of $132 a month with retailers that have earned their fandom, compared with just $71 a month among non-fans, Bain & Co. research shows. If people change where and what they buy due to location, convenience or faster delivery, then the retailer they had routinely visited lost their loyalty, or never had it.

How do retailers make loyal shoppers stick with them? First, look beyond the obvious. These practices are a good start for 2023.

A new Frontier for customer service? Think again

A new Frontier for customer service? Think again | Guest Service | Scoop.it
“At Frontier, we offer the lowest fares in the industry by operating our airline as efficiently as possible. We want our customers to be able to operate efficiently as well, which is why we make it easy to find what you need at flyfrontier.com, or on our mobile app. We also have a chat service available 24/7.”

This is a snippet of the message you hear when you call Frontier Airlines after it discontinued its customer service phone support. No response, not even an option for a live phone conversation. To engage this business, customers must turn to the company’s chatbot, social media, WhatsApp or live chat.

Business leaders make difficult decisions all the time. This one was presumably driven by careful consideration. But leaders also make bad decisions. Unequivocally, this is one of them.
James Schreier's insight:

A business decision that Frontier must have studied carefully -- or did they?  I wonder what a strategic exploration using the Implications Wheel, would reveal?  (implicationswheel.com)

23 Customer Experience Practices You Should Stop in 2023

23 Customer Experience Practices You Should Stop in 2023 | Guest Service | Scoop.it
“Do more with less” may be more prevalent this year as some tech firms and many others trim their customer experience teams, programs, and the experience itself. But maybe this is the wrong path! Perhaps your customer experience management is on a misguided trajectory. A warped or dusty lens causes poor vision. If your aim is mis-aligned with your target, of course, you must reconsider value.

I see this sparking some heated debate.

Is tipping getting out of control? Many consumers say yes | Guest Service | Scoop.it
NEW YORK (AP) — Across the country, there’s a silent frustration brewing about an age-old practice that many say is getting out of hand: tipping.
