Serving your customers is one of the main aims of any business. Fulfilling their demands, offering them hassle-free solutions, extraordinary customer service, and keeping them happy is the key to run a successful business.
If your customers like your service then they are very likely to come back but if they don’t, there are chances you might lose them.
Let me share with you my personal experience with Pepperfry:
Their marketing strategy is omnichannel which I definitely was not aware about. I had ordered 2 bean bags and 2 pouffe (had no idea it was a pouffe cover) and had paid a good amount of money for those.
After a month when one bean bag and two pouffes came they were not at all good quality and I was not getting value for the money I bought them for. Upon contacting customer service to return the products, they refused by saying that my reasons were not good enough for them.
This is definitely not something you should ever tell your customers. You are very likely to lose them. Even if you cannot take the product back it’s better to end the conversation on a better note rather than implying that their issues aren’t valid when you were the one that made the mistake. Especially when you were the one that made the mistake.
Word of advice – Avoid taking products from @Pepperfry because they don’t take returns if you are not satisfied with their service or have issues with their product quality. Neither exhanges are available nor can you cancel other orders 😒😑

It does not end here. After a few days my other bean bag came and this time instead of one, I got two bean bags. When I told them I don’t want another one they said, “ Ma’am just keep it if the company is giving it for free.”
The free bean bag is lying somewhere in my store room for the time being. The solution to customer problems is not free stuff. It is solving them.
Now a question comes, how can you serve your customers better and provide them with good quality products?
