The Ideal Online Shop

Continued from Page 2
Quality of service
Quality of service is very important in the online world. As you aren’t there personally to handle your customers, you have to ensure a pleasant online shopping experience for them. One important factor here is that you must do what you mention on the site. The case in point here is delivery time. If you promise delivery within two days, then actual delivery shouldn’t extend to the third day. You should also define delivery time as low as you can.

A return policy follows the delivery time. If the product doesn’t reach the customer in good condition, then your site should have some sort of a policy for that. The ideal case is to replace the product free of cost. Whatever the case may be, your site should clearly mention what policy you follow, to give your customers a clear picture. All the terms and conditions should be clearly listed.

Handling customer queries is another important issue. Your site should be prompt in replying to all customer queries. To aid the process further, it should put answers to common queries in the form on FAQs. A step-by-step guide on how to shop on your site is also a must. We even saw some sites that had an online chat facility where customers could directly interact and ask for clarifications and help.
