Quote of the Day
‘If a man does his best, what else is there?’
George S. Patton
Social Media Research
Tweet Tweet Customer Service Becomes Human Once Again
Next time you seek out customer service through a Twitter message, you may find yourself talking to an actual human rather than a corporate account. The social network now lets brands display avatars and names of individual employees in direct-message conversations, while still operating through the company’s main profile. The new tool will also more clearly indicate when you are talking to an automated bot. The feature launched Wednesday with T-Mobile signed on as the only advertiser partner.
In an article by Patrick Kulp in Mashable, the move is grounded in Twitter’s market research that shows personalized customer service is around 20% more satisfying and productive to consumers than nameless corporate interactions. Twitter has been playing to its strength as a go-to forum for the airing of consumer praises and grievances with a series of new features meant to make customer service easier on the platform. These tools include “conversational” ads that prompt users with possible responses and brand availability hours.
Twitter enables brands to display the names and avatars of real staff in direct-message conversations to clearly differentiate to consumers that they are talking to a human, as opposed to a bot. T-Mobile introduced research that showed that “77% of people are likely to recommend a brand following a personalized customer service interaction”.
Digital/Mobile Research
Ecommerce in Canada: Its Time Has Come
Mobile Purchasing Drives Growth
Ecommerce in Canada is undergoing a major disruption. Spurred by competition from Amazon, retailers there are investing in digital, and it has become a way to battle the challenges of a reaching a small population dispersed over a vast land mass. “While Canada has lagged behind the US and UK in ecommerce, it is now catching up as double-digit annual gains drive what growth there is in Canada’s retail sector,” said analyst Paul Briggs, author of eMarketer’s new report that examines the country’s ecommerce prospects. According to eMarketer’s latest forecast, ecommerce will account for 10% of total retail sales by 2020.
What’s more, consumers and retailers are embracing some of the innovative ecommerce trends that have yet to fully catch on in more advanced ecommerce markets, Briggs said. For instance, omnichannel strategies like click and collect, in which companies like Toronto-based grocer Loblaw lets shoppers order online, then pick up groceries later. This service sidesteps delivery expenses, substantial in Canada, in which 85% of distribution costs are in the last mile of delivery.
The omnichannel consumer in Canada intensifies his or her online shopping during the holiday season, and does so much shopping with mobile that a quarter of all retail ecommerce is expected to occur via mobile device this year. Plus, Canadian omnichannel consumers have always loved shopping south of the border in the US.
Traditionally this was because online selection in Canada was poor. But that’s changing, according to Briggs. One reason is the strength of Canadian currency relative to the US dollar. “But the bigger factor is the vast improvement in the quality of offerings from Canadian retail—it is a big part of why [consumers there] are shopping domestically more than ever,” he said.

NOTE: While Australian considers Prime Time 6P-Midnight, we use the US prime time system to measure television effectiveness in Australia. Thus 7P-10P is the standard from which this rating is based. Newscasts are considered only as newscasts and not television programs inside or outside of this period except in special periods. The % share is based on the Australian Prime Time 6P-Midnight period.
