So why do we need customer service? Having a 14 day returns and exchange policy is important as it allows customers to send back any items they aren't happy with or anything that isn’t up to standard. This means customers will come back to us as they have trust in us with their money and our services, allowing them to feel at ease when buying. This often attracts repeating customers and good word of mouth. Boohoo offer a student discount of 10% which is perfect for our target audience as it is aimed at a younger demographic. By doing this we are meeting the target markets needs as we have lower prices and regular discounts. Allowing them to shop more freely and be more interested in the brand as we offer affordable process for our specific target customer. As an internet based business, it is essential to us that we make sure the customer service offered is as helpful, interactive and accessible as possible. As customers expect a high standard of service from us it is important they are quickly able to communicate with us on a personal level. This can allow us to be alarmed of any issues going on which we can then solve as quickly as possible. We provide a Twitter page solely for help and complaints from any of our customers. This can help us succeed by noticing what needs to be changed. Customers can be left feeling relieved due to our ‘Track-My-Order’ facility. This can allows them to always be aware of where their product is at all times which gives them the opportunity to know when it’s due to arrive. Having this service can be very beneficial as we keep customers up to date and in contact with us as we have full responsibility with what they have bought through us.
