JACKSONVILLE, FL, March 22, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- It's no secret that small businesses are currently thriving in America, with an estimated 30 million small businesses trading in the US, and SMEs currently employing the majority of the nation's workforce, it's fair to say business is well and truly booming. However whilst this brings good news to the economy, and to consumers looking for new and exciting brands, the constant influx of small businesses has caused the American marketplace to become heavily over saturated. Businesses are now finding themselves neck and neck against an increasing number of businesses offering similar services and products, making it harder than ever to stand out and attract new customers. ShinWa Marketing, providers of premier event marketing services believe that in order to stand out and hold the competitive edge businesses must take an honest look at their customer service capabilities. The firm believe that great customer service is increasingly becoming a source of competitive advantage and that by failing to provide the best possible service to their customers, businesses are running the risk of fading into the background.

This revelation couldn't have come at a better time, as ShinWa Marketing recently learnt of the results of a study looking at the performance of businesses from a customer perspective. The Consumer Action Monitor found that the number of consumers making complaints to businesses is growing quite significantly, suggesting that many businesses are falling short in terms of their quality of service. Furthermore, today's customers are more likely to complain as they are wary of the motives driving businesses, with 33% believing most businesses care more about money than their customers.
Despite these poor customer responses, the same study found that from a business perspective, the majority of businesses are moving in the right direction when it comes to customer service, albeit slowly. Online customer service is up on last year, with 64% of customer queries being answered, however ShinWa Marketing are concerned that this figure is still far too low, and would like to see far more customer - brand interactions.
