How Can Businesses Guarantee Satisfied Online Customers?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

PalletTrucksUK, one of the UK\u2019s most successful suppliers of pallet trucks<\/u><\/a>, stackers<\/u><\/a>, lift tables<\/u><\/a>, and a whole host of other essential equipment, has offered online traders tips for keeping their customers happy, after it\u2019s been reported that 78% of UK adults are likely to switch to an alternative retailer when next shopping for products online if they have a poor ordering and delivery experience.
\nThe experts, who have been trading online for many years, know what it takes to keep customers happy, from the moment they click on a site, to the moment they receive their order. And as such, have received sterling feedback from large, corporate customers with large orders, to small start-ups who just need a few things to get them up and running.
\nThe first port of call for online businesses to ensure their offering is as customer-friendly as possible is to get a good staff base in place. If businesses have a reliable staff force, then work will get done in a timely manner.
\n\u201cIf it\u2019s a team, they need to work together and ensure all bases are covered \u2013 not just assume it has been done by another worker,\u201d said Phil Chesworth, Managing Director at PalletTrucksUK. \u201cThe staff are the heart of the businesses, so as well as hiring competent people that thrive in a busy team, employees must make sure they are happy and valued. After all, it\u2019s been proven that happy employees are around 20% more productive than those who are unhappy[1]<\/u><\/a>. So creating a happy environment really is key in busy online businesses.\u201d
\nPutting set processes in place is another important factor for online retailers. Making sure everyone knows the systems and protocols in place for new orders and returns can speed up the process significantly and leave valued customers satisfied and encourage them to come back.<\/p>\n

Another factor businesses need to look at is investing in equipment to up productivity and increase safety –\u00a0Satisfied Online Customers<\/h2>\n

Equipment has proven to be incredibly important for busy warehouses where there are thousands of orders and returns to process every week. Companies have a relatively small window in this fast-paced online retail world to get product from warehouse and out for delivery. And getting the right equipment is integral to this, while also keeping employees safe by cutting down on the amount of strain from moving items.
\nThe report, released by JDA\/Centiro Customer Pulse and conducted by YouGov, found that 56% of the UK adults surveyed had experienced a problem with an online order in the last 12 months \u2013 signalling an increase from 53% in the 2016 report, and 47% on the year before. Of those who had experienced a problem, 42% said they had been on the receiving end of a later than specified delivery, 37% had missed a delivery despite being at home, 25% never received an item, and 24% received a damaged item.
\nPhil, added, \u201cThis really is unacceptable in this day and age. Online orders are not a new concept \u2013 we\u2019ve had years to practice getting it right. So there\u2019s nowhere to hide unfortunately. And if businesses are to succeed they must get it right first time.<\/p>\n
