Social media platform offers automatic direct-call-action plus new customer service capabilities
Twitter is looking to better assist brands with customers using its social media platform for customer service, offering two new tools to manage interactions.
Under its direct messages capabilities, Twitter is now giving businesses the ability to add a deep link into their Tweets that automatically displays a call-to-action button. This allows the customer to send the organisation a direct message.
A new customer feedback feature will also enable people to privately share opinions with a business after a service interaction. According to Twitter, businesses will be able to use two industry standard question formats for customer service scoring: Net Promoter Score and Customer Satisfaction.
The direct message feature is available globally from today, while the customer feedback tool will begin rolling out to brands in coming weeks, the company said.
According to Twitter, its advertisers received more than 80 per cent of their inbound social customer service requests on its platform. The company also pointed to recent research conducted on public interactions between customers tweeting a complaint on Twitter and airline brands, which showed those who receive a response are willing to pay an average $9 more for their next purchase from that airline.
In a blog announcing the new capabilities, Twitter quoted one of its partners, Sprinklr, as a major supporter of its new customer service features.
“Twitter’s new customer service features are a testament to the fact that brands need to quickly and effectively engage on the customer’s terms, on the channel of their choosing, and at scale,” said its head of product evangelism and partnerships, Elizabeth Closmore.
Caesars Entertainment also saw Twitter as a go-to network for its digitally connected guests.
“Understanding customer satisfaction in relation to the service we’re giving on social is incredibly important to Caesars, and we’re excited to embrace these two features to facilitate that understanding,” said its VP of digital, Greg Cannon.

The faith people have in brands creates opportunity for those brands to become trusted advisors. In turn, this builds success by increasing the brand’s profile, letting it broaden its product offering and driving stronger customer loyalty.
The push to start new businesses continues. In Q1 2017, the number of seed and angel deals increased by 1.4 per cent compared to Q1 2016.
When we read articles about the need for increased diversity in marketing land, it is often through the lens of gender.
How much of customer experience is having the foresight to know what those individuals might like, versus asking them? In Episode 5 of this new podcast series, BrandHook MD, Pip Stocks, talks with Tammy Marshall about the importance of asking your customers questions, how consistency plays a role in engagement, but how the unexpected adds extra value.
Interesting insight, well explained and the examples are just apt.Thanks for sharing!
