January 31, 2022 5 minutes to read Companies are giving more and more importance to **customer care solutions**. **Customers experience** has become one of the deciding factors in **customer loyalty**. Nowadays, the **quality of customer service** is sometimes more important than the quality of the products and services themselves.   But how do you know which one of the **customer care solutions** is right for your company? Every customer is unique, and everyone will have unique needs. What might work for one customer, wouldn’t work for another. And, while some customers are patient, others are not. Here are some tips about how to choose the best solution for your company. ## Understand your customer's needs   To understand what **customer care solutions** are the right ones for your company, you need to analyse your **customer's needs** first. To do that, you can either analyse your industry's benchmarks or conduct your own study.   According to a [Zendesk study](https://zen-marketing-content.s3.amazonaws.com/content/Zendesk_ROI_Case_Omnichannel.pdf),  clients prefer to use more than one **service channel**. The same study has also predicted **live chat** as a growing platform that is quickly surpassing **email and web form support**. B2C companies are increasingly adopting **omnichannel** as their primary approach. This is because they have more diverse clients and also a bigger customer base.   Understanding your customer's needs is no easy task. To get started, you can start by analysing your **target customers** as well as your **customer base demographics.**  What age groups do they belong? How much free time do they have? What do they expect from your company? What is their most preferred contact method?   You can analyse these points by taking a closer look at your current **database** or **CRM**. However, you can take this a step further and speak to them directly. A reliable way to do so is by creating and sharing feedback surveys with them. If you have a clearer idea of what your **customer's expectations** are, you can exceed them more efficiently. ## Customer Care Solutions In a past [article](https://www.wearefiber.com/en/2019/01/03/customer-service-guide/), we have outlined the main **customer care types** to help you get started. Here, we will analyse these customer **care solutions' types** from a client perspective. ### Self- Service Support   **Customer Self-service support** enables clients to search and find a solution to their problem themselves. It includes FAQs, community service, automatic task management platforms, etc. This solution is great for Technology companies as well as for companies with a very big customer base. However, having a **self-service solution** is good for all companies, regardless of their customer base size or type. It helps save time and increase the customer **satisfaction** rates. Sometimes clients have simple questions that they can find answers easily themselves, rather than contact **customer support**. This will not only make your customers happy, but it will also **reduce the volume of tickets** that the **customer service team** handles.   ### Telephone Customer Service Support   **Telephone support** is still on top of the most preferred contact methods that customers choose. It is also one of the fastest way to get an issue solved. Telephone makes troubleshooting easy since replying takes less time than with other channels. When the issues are serious or very urgent, customers prefer to **call customer support**, regardless of age. Even though millennials are known to prefer technology more and to prioritise **online channels**, a study conducted by DMG Consulting has shown that they will choose telephone support as their second option, if they can't find a solution through a self-service solution.    ![](https://www.wearefiber.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/pexels-photo-905873-300x195.jpg?width=576&height=374&name=pexels-photo-905873-300x195.jpg) ### Online Customer Care   **Online customer service channels** such as **email and web forms** are used by clients that don't need an urgent reply or are simply looking for more information. On the other side, live chat is used by customers that need an immediate answer. **Live chat** makes the communications more efficient than **telephone support** because it enables clients and **customer service representatives** to share important information and multimedia easily. Statistics have shown that millennials prefer **live chat** more than other group ages and are more likely to contact a company through **live chat**. However, the gap between the customer care channel preferences between millennials and other age groups is closing. **Online customer service channels** and especially **live** **chat** are very important to companies that need to prioritize sales. **Live chat** helps companies to convert website visitors to buyers easier than any other channel. It also helps assists customers and guides them through the **sales process.** Industries that use online and live customer service channels include Technology, Retail, E-commerce, Food and Beverage, Travel and Leisure, Accommodation, etc. ### Omnichannel & Multichannel Support   Most of the time, companies provide several customer service contact methods to clients. This helps them to reach a broader audience and to communicate with their clients through every channel. Multichannel solutions combine several customer care solutions such as email, phone support, live chat, etc. However, companies that prioritise customer experience and want to improve the customer journey are adopting **omnichannel solutions.** This means to integrate all the customer service channels into one all-inclusive solution to track and manage them easier. **Omnichannel support** also enables clients to move from one channel to another in a seamless way. ## We Are Fiber   **WeareFiber**, founded in 2006, has since helped customers all over the world to understand their business needs regarding **customer care solutions**.
