Main cause of negative reviews: bad customer service [infographic]

Dutch support software provider Grasp (previously Casengo) analysed over 46,000 online customer reviews

Amsterdam, the Netherlands

Summary

Bad service and slow delivery are the best way to make sure customers don't ever come back, new research shows. Dutch customer service software provider Grasp delved into the online world of negative customer reviews in e-commerce, stepping into unknown yet rather instructive territory.

So what do complainers mean by ‘bad’ service? Online shops that fail to respond swiftly (or at all!) to customer emails know all about it. Slow follow-up after the first contact also causes annoyance. Logistical blunders happen more often than you would expect: almost 10% of ex-customers had to cope with the fact that the ordered – and often paid-for – item was not in stock after all.

Grasp analysed a sample of over 22,000 online shops to learn more about the influence of external review platforms. It turns out that online shops with a high customer satisfaction rate – nearly a quarter of the sample – enjoy posting their external customer reviews on their websites, using a widget. Their customers rate them 8.7 out of 10, whereas onlines stores without a widget get a meagre score of 7.3.
