THEIR GOAL
Streamlining customer care on Instagram
H&M hoped to boost both agent productivity and customer satisfaction while also personalizing customer service across all online communication channels – but especially for Instagram. The retailer received huge volumes of Instagram direct messages daily and needed a solution that would help its customer care team respond to shoppers communicating with the brand through Instagram at scale.
THEIR SOLUTION
Introducing a tailored customer service experience
To gain oversight of the customer communication process across all social media channels, H&M partnered with customer experience management platform Sprinklr to integrate Messenger API for Instagram. As a result, customers who contacted the brand via Instagram received the same level of service as those reaching out to H&M via other channels, such as Facebook and Messenger.
After the integration, H&M’s customer service teams used Sprinklr’s solutions to categorize Instagram direct messages by content type and to access conversation histories so the agents could provide a more thoughtful and personalized customer care experience.
THEIR SUCCESS
Faster responses, happier customers
With Messenger API for Instagram, H&M can provide consistent and high-quality customer care to Instagram users. Since 2019, the brand has seen the following results:
- 9.5-point improvement in customer satisfaction
- 8.7-point increase in net sentiment score
- 20% reduction in average handle time
- 31% improvement in average response speed
“We love to create and share fashion-forward content on Instagram, and are excited that we can now supplement that with a personalized customer service experience using Sprinklr. Now, we can connect better with our customers by assisting them in their fashion journey with dedicated, one-on-one support and interactions.”
“When a global fashion company like H&M is increasingly getting inquiries via Instagram in various languages 24/7, it’s a challenge to scale memorable customer care. Sprinklr’s Messenger API support for Instagram helped H&M tackle this challenge by creating a unified care strategy that resulted in fast, personalized service. Now, H&M can have more meaningful conversations without compromising business efficiency,”
