2016 and 2017 research results comparison

1
How did we do the research?
We did research in e-commerce in 2016. We did the experiment again to compare the results and find out what has changed within the year.

Orisan (yes, this name exists) asked online-shops this question.
Hello! Tell me please, what time does the self pick-up point close? Help me make an order please! I need to get my delivery today somehow.

I Don't Get Answered via E-mail
Online-shops hasn't started responded more often. As it used to be, e-mails fall to the Narnia.

3
Social Media Support is Becoming Better
Online-shops got active on VK.com compared to 2016. Customers are more likely to talk to the shop's employees having written on VK.com than via e-mail. Their Facebook is dead.

4
Instant Messenger Era Hasn't Started Yet
Telegram has only 3 responses. Customer aren't used to this channel, so the stores aren't rishing to start the support there.

The Quality Hasn't Changed
Good News
The Support Service doesn't send you as often as it used to be to e-mail or ask you to call if you text on VK.com. Support departments got the access to the social media which might not be appreciated by social media managers.
The share of those who send customers to other channels from VK.com reduced by 10%.

How did we evaluate?

What's going on with the quality via e-mail?
The e-mail is still pretty bad. The result hasn't changed at all since a year ago.
37% of online-shops sent automated responses. But they didn't all have useful information.
Sometimes the support employees weren't patient. Well, what can you do, stressfull job.
To make sure the support department starts writing in a proper way with no cliche and unnecessary words we added Glavred to UseDesk.
