Book Excerpt Chapter 3: Focus on Customer Service Remember when you failed last time in school & your teacher or parents scolded and said you are worst. But then they gave you reasons & worked on area of improvements together with you. Sadly today when everyone talks about The Online Vs Offline Retail War and foresee the offline retail failing or losing the battle, as an ultimate consumer who cares for experience it s time to work with this weak student of class. It s not the story of existence of one, as the trade has clear rules of coexistence. Importantly we find the real Consumer oscillating between price & experience. We all know online is about data & making meaningful decision on data which translates into sales. Every online consumer is pampered with exciting offerings from e-tailers on click of a button and a virtual touch of customer service with soft voice from contact centers. Few Large Format Retailers (LFRs) also show some guts of standing strong as e-tailers but the customer satisfaction keeps on going down as we move from LFR to a Small Shop. How can a small offline retailer increase footfalls? How do Air Conditioned Malls make a profitable story? How can markets stay as happening as they were few years back? Increasing growth in number of malls & area of malls getting bigger is not luring the shoppers. Concept of Show rooming: Trying at Offline Store & Buying Online is seen quite often. The once customer buzzing place faces desertion. Shoppers are hardly or even not seen to visit these malls or markets. Owners who once had a stable profit gainer are now desperately looking for other options. Many have converted these malls into commercial offices, LFRs, etc in order to make them profitable. The question though among many is whether the mall boom and buzz is going to be regained.
