As the holiday shopping season quickly approaches, there’s one, often overlooked, factor that can make or break the customer experience: tracking. During this high-demand season, customers demand real-time information about their purchases—from shipping status to estimated delivery dates. By offering an on-page branded tracking experience, businesses can transform a traditionally underwhelming stage into an active, engaging one, fostering greater customer satisfaction and creating opportunities to upsell.
The Power of a Branded Tracking Experience
When customers make a purchase, they’re not just buying a product—they’re buying an experience. Brands that deliver smooth, on-brand tracking options stand out from the competition by ensuring every touchpoint reflects their identity and values. Here’s how a branded tracking experience can benefit both customers and businesses:
- Seamless Brand Interaction: An on-page tracking experience provides customers with a continuous journey on the brand’s website, without redirecting them to a third-party site for tracking information. This reduces friction and offers a familiar, comfortable environment where customers can easily access updates.
- Increased Engagement Opportunities: A branded tracking page allows for the inclusion of personalized upsells or related product recommendations. By enhancing engagement post-purchase, brands can maximize customer lifetime value.
- Reassurance through Real-Time Updates: Clear, timely updates on delivery statuses reassure customers and reduce “Where’s my order?” (WISMO) inquiries, which can otherwise overwhelm customer support teams, especially during peak holiday periods.
The Corso X Malomo integration turns order tracking into a powerful engagement tool. With shoppers checking their order status multiple times, brands can use branded tracking pages to inform and promote. Proactive notifications cut down on WISMO inquiries, while quick-issue reporting ensures faster problem resolution—elevating customer satisfaction and loyalty. Proven by successful brands like Tuckernuck, Suit Shop, and Caraway, this integration delivers results.
The Value of Enhanced Tracking and Shipping Notifications
Keeping customers updated with real-time tracking information has become a necessity. When customers know exactly where their order is and when to expect it, they feel confident and valued. Here are some ways enhanced tracking notifications impact the holiday shopping experience:
- Reduced Anxiety: Shipping delays are inevitable during the holiday rush. By providing regular updates and estimated delivery times, brands can alleviate customer worries and build trust. In the case a package is lost or stolen, customers can quickly create a claim to resolve the issue.
- Streamlined Communication: Notifications reduce customer support strain by proactively addressing customer concerns before they reach out. This leads to quicker, less overwhelmed support during peak season.
- Building Trust and Transparency: Brands that communicate honestly about potential delays or updated delivery times build loyalty by showing they prioritize transparency and customer care.
The Corso X Sendlane integration enables brands to easily utilize Corso events within their Sendlane segments and email flows, targeting customers based on actions like returns, warranty claims, and shipment updates. This integration streamlines interactions and delivers timely, relevant messaging, boosting customer engagement and satisfaction.
