The days of consumers solely going into a shop to buy products is quickly becoming a thing of the past and ecommerce is becoming the new way consumers interact with retailers. Since the mobility explosion of the past few years, bricks and mortar stores are a lot less influential than their online counterparts. Another impact of ecommerce has been the change in consumers’ habits – whether that’s the way they consume, the way they purchase or the way they engage with retailers.

As the saying goes: Customer is THE key pillar of every business. Without them, there is no income and without money, it is impossible for any company to exist in a longer run. Each customer service employee should understand the responsibility to provide top customer service and the fact that a customer has to be treated individually, with a full respect and patience.

After the Evening Seminar “Online Dispute Resolution for Consumer Disputes- Is there a Business Case for it?” jointly organised by CCLS, Queen Mary University of London and Youstice.
Ever heard of Online Dispute Resolution? Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) is dispute resolution using online communications and information technology outside the courts. Given the high costs and barriers for consumers to “going to court”, very few of them take their commercial disputes there. ODR has therefore been regarded as a vital means of access to justice for consumers who have a dispute with a business. New EU legislation exists on ODR (the ADR Directive 2013/11/EU and the ODR Regulation 524/2013/EU) and the government’s consultation period on how to implement this new legislation in the UK has just expired today. It is likely that we will see the setup of a residual ODR system open for all consumer disputes in the UK as a consequence.

Phone-based customer service can be extremely costly, as well as bad emotion and inaccuracies-generating. However, as the recent research “The Omnichannel Customer Service Gap” by Loudhouse shows it's not declining, even as text-based and social-channel usage have increased. 73 percent of consumers think that companies are paying more attention to generating sales across multiple channels than they are in delivering a consistent and seamless customer service experience across those same channels.

As opposed to catastrophic sci-fi books, our world has not evolved in an autocratic place with a few Big Brother type eminences ruling all. We live in the community-based environment of social media. This is the world where a customer has ceased to be an ant in the ground floors of an anthill. How does that manifest?
