Holiday season is coming upon us. That means consumers are starting their holiday shopping, whether for gifts and stocking stuffers or for events. The Christmas season often leads to stress, however, because while customers are frustrated by waiting in hotline queues, service agents have to deal with the discontent of these customers, causing an increased churn rate on both ends. With Corona restrictions limiting the number of shoppers inside stores, there is now an overwhelming amount of customers shopping online these days, and companies must be prepared for online requests and inquiries. In fact, 65% of customers said they have changed to a different brand because of a poor experience.
Despite the stress that typically comes along with the holiday season, it doesn’t always have to mean chaos and pressure for companies or customers.
