]]> Comment on The Power of Customer Service Crappiness by Nick http://marketingblog.solidcactus.com/2008/12/the-power-of-customer-service-crappiness/comment-page-1/#comment-116 Nick Sat, 06 Dec 2008 20:10:04 +0000 http://marketingblog.solidcactus.com/?p=83#comment-116 Customer Service for most businesses still yet has to catch in the social media world. The problem now is that most local businesses receive feedback from review sites like Yelp. However, very progressive customer service tools like getsatisfaction.com (corporate focused) and feedbackjar.com (local focused) are tackling this problem directly by allowing businesses and customers interact directly. For example, since you had a bad experience at those businesses, you would post a problem thread on their profile. The businesses can read what your problem and reply back to resolve the issue. Hence, from customer service crappiness to customer service finger licking good! Customer Service for most businesses still yet has to catch in the social media world.

I've seen advertisers trying a variety of tactics. The biggest theme is "smart spending": they're willing to grow their marketing budget if they can see the results. No doubt some competitors will pull back on their marketing budgets, so it makes sense to at least hold the course with your own. If they drop off, that's more sales for you to scoop up! John,

Unless it is significantly faster which you haven't demonstrated, the amount of time it would take someone to understand and debug it at a simple glance is too much.
