Make Self Help Easy
It's the same approach they take to the products they sell: you can search for something specific or just browse a category. Clear labels and easy navigation make all the difference. With this vast array of self help options, Amazon makes it easy to find solutions on one's own. This saves customers a lot of time they would have spentg waiting for answers from support.
2.Provide Human Support
The amazing thing with their phone support is that if you jump through all the hoops, you can talk to an agent right away and they all call you. that means no waiting on hold. Plus, with 24/7 support. You can get help whenever you need it.
3.Communicate Challenges
Amazon can't avoid these problems. That's why they've done the only thing they can explain the situation to customers. Banners across the Amazon website warn users to expect delays. Detailed articles explain the situation in depth. Existing help articles have been updated to explain what will work differently from normal as well as what hasn't changed.
4.Create Loyalty Incentives
Customers have to spend about $120/year to get Amazon Prime. As a result they need to use Amazon frequently to get their money's worth, which motivates thyem to buy more from Amazon and less from comptitors. the iincreased purchase volume give Amazon a chance to earn back the money lost on discounts and free shipping.
5.Protect Your Customers
