If you\u2019re shopping online rather than in a brick-and-mortar store, look for a company that has a user-friendly website and a good mobile app. If, on the other hand, you\u2019re shopping downtown or at a mall, a brand that offers a good selection of products and a pleasant in-store shopping experience might be at the top of your list. But is the quality of a company\u2019s customer service always a deal-breaker when it comes to us parting with our cash?<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"beauty-fashion\">Beauty &amp; Fashion<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/best-sites-to-buy-makeup-online-4799801\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Purchasing makeup<\/a>, skin and hair care products, and fragrances online can be a daunting experience. With no sales assistant to advise on the right shade of foundation or the perfect blush, customers can feel as though they\u2019re taking a gamble with the products that they purchase. Similarly, without the benefit of fitting rooms and a chance to browse in-person, shopping for clothes online often means paying steep shipping costs and likely making returns.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, and perhaps surprisingly, customers are unlikely to let the effectiveness of a brand\u2019s customer service dictate their choice of beauty and fashion stores. Instead, customers prioritize companies\u00a0that offer high-quality, ethically made products, low shipping costs, and freebies. What\u2019s more, if a brand has a good reputation and an impactful social media presence, customer loyalty is on the cards.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"entertainment\">Entertainment<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1606393 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Entertainment-Customer-Service.jpg\" alt=\"Vintage Entertainment Centre\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Entertainment-Customer-Service.jpg 640w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Entertainment-Customer-Service-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Entertainment-Customer-Service-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/divine.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Entertainment-Customer-Service-560x420.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re looking for the <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.pcmag.com\/internet-3\/71265\/the-best-video-streaming-services\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best streaming website<\/a> to watch your favourite shows, hunting for a website to purchase the latest bestselling books, or searching for an online gambling site that fits your needs, the effectiveness of the brand\u2019s customer service will probably\u00a0play a huge role in your decision.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to movie streaming, customers are more inclined to opt for a service that offers original content at an affordable price, and they often look for a web interface that is easy to navigate. While a brand\u2019s customer service is important \u2013 after all, it\u2019s nice to get help quickly when your favourite TV show crashes at the worst possible moment! \u2013 it doesn\u2019t tend to be a priority for those shopping for streaming services. Yet, good customer service is at the top of the list for shoppers looking for bookselling or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecasinoguide.ca\/online-gambling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online gambling<\/a> sites. It\u2019s important for customers to know that if their books arrive late or damaged, or their order is incorrect, that there\u2019ll be a friendly customer service representative on hand to save the day. Likewise, when customers are coughing up their hard-earned cash on gambling sites, they\u2019re more likely to choose a brand that has a 24\/7 live chat, and telephone and email services. Fortunately, there are guides out there to help customers land on their feet.<\/p>\n<p>Customers are more inclined to let the quality of a company\u2019s customer service dictate their choice of provider when they\u2019re purchasing an online gambling service or are looking to buy books online. When it comes to beauty, fashion or a movie streaming service, however, customers prefer to let the products speak for themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"post-excerpt\">When it comes to committing to purchasing a product or service, whether it is a movie streaming service, the latest item from the spring fashion lines or your favourite luxury&hellip;<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/how-important-is-customer-service-when-it-comes-to-the-products-we-purchase\/\" class=\"button button-primary button-effect\"><span>View Post<\/span><span><i class=\"cs-icon cs-icon-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":1604323,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[8898,5090,2043,8899],"powerkit_post_featured":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1604322","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-living","8":"tag-beauty-and-fashion","9":"tag-customer-service","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-streaming-services"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1604322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1604322"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1604322\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1606397,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1604322\/revisions\/1606397"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1604323"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1604322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1604322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1604322"},{"taxonomy":"powerkit_post_featured","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/divine.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/powerkit_post_featured?post=1604322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
