Customer Service is the New, New Marketing
The topic of empowering your customers so that they become an extension of your marketing isn't new. Transforming people into a surrogate sales force is thedream of any service organization. The difference today is that the landscapehas shifted to the point where good customer service is no longer the minimumante to play the game.Over the next year, customer service will fuse with marketing to become a holisticinbound, outbound campaign of listening to and engaging with customers that willrewrite the rules of the game. And, most importantly, the lessons learned in thefield will be fed into the marketing department to create and run more intelligent,experienced, and real world initiatives across all forms of marketing, PR, sales,and advertising.Over the last year, Social Media has intrigued and even inspired companies toengage in the communities where their brands and products, as well those of competitors, are actively discussed by the very people they want to reach, akathe new influencers.Participation is no longer an option as Social Media isn't a spectator sport.
