Key Features to Consider for Social Customer Service

 

Consumers turning to social media for customer service is on the rise, a trend that shows no sign of ending. However, the time of dismissing their concerns and directing them to a phone number has passed. In response, brands need to become “socially mature.” Socially mature brands realize the value of providing customer service across all channels. Asia's most successful and leading social media agency, Prosperity Research Digital Agency(PRDA), offers a variety of services to their clients. Every client valued, and also provided expert and genuine services. Read on to learn more about customer service for social media.

Customers shopping online tend to communicate with brands through social networks. The image of the brand receives a serious setback when it is unable to quickly respond to concerns of unhappy customers. Focus on developing efficient communication channels through customer service is key. Your brand should strive to let customer service drive social initiatives rather than marketing, and should have dedicated customer-care solutions, whether those solutions are teams or software. Personalized responses that don’t feel mechanical, collaboration with other departments in pursuit of customer service, resolving issues within a single social channel and involving executives in social networks are other traits of successful socially mature brands. The following key features should be considered: Context for smoother interaction, prioritization for rapid address of high-risk issues, real-time analytics for advancing with a perception for future plans, integration for complete information of a customer, and active customer service for responding to emails.  

Customer service shouldn’t be an afterthought: It needs to be the primary thing you offer. Prosperity Research Digital Agency(PRDA) comes with complete customer-care solutions to ensure genuine service to its clients. Customers can only be impressed by providing the best customer care and support services. Through PRDA, you can make your brand reputable and keep your customers contented.

Natural Ways to Boost Your Feel-Good Hormones!

We’ve all experienced that day when we are feeling a bit down.  Just getting out of bed takes too much effort. Fortunately, there are ways to boost your feel-good hormones, such as increasing the amount of your Omega 3 intake through Flodins naturally tasty and tender omega-3 pork.  The next time you feel gloomy, try some of these energy boosting tips:

Begin Your Day With A Serotonin Fix

Serotonin helps to regulate our mood, behaviour and memory. To help your brain in producing a high amount of serotonin, you need to ensure that your body will have an ample supply of amino acids. Try including plenty of the following natural foods in your diet; cashews, legumes, lentils, whole eggs (free range), grass fed red meat, tofu, tempeh, chia seeds, organic cheese, buckwheat and oats.

Bathe in the Sun

A low amount of Vitamin D in the body is often associated with Seasonal Affective Disorder; a condition wherein people who are experiencing long, dark winters are under a state of depression.  In other words, it’s harder to be happy without sunshine! Although Vitamin D is found in liver, egg yolks and some full fat dairy products, it’s difficult to get our daily dose without sunshine or a supplement to help.

Get Moving

There’s few faster ways to increase your feel-good chemicals than with exercise. Movement floods your body with endorphins that boost mood, regulate sleep and clear the mind. Try adding in 30mins a day of movement you enjoy- a brisk walk, yoga or a bike ride are a good ways to start.

Indulge in Dark Chocolate

The luscious taste of chocolate can make us feel good. Good quality dark chocolate is also a rich source of plant chemicals that offer powerful mood boosting properties. These include anandamide, theobromine, tryptophan and serotonin; some of the same molecules that your brain produces when you’re in love!

Nordic countries have a food culture closely linked with nature – their cuisine is all about keeping food pure, seasonal, local and fresh. Good health starts with a balanced, healthy diet- so do your body a favor and invest in delicious, good for you heart foods like Omega-3 pork!

Flodins Master Meat Class

Flodins, leading Nordic meat producer, is hosting an interactive Meat Master Class featuring their delicious Omega-3 pork today at FINDS, Hong Kong’s first and foremost Nordic Restaurant. Chef Jaakko Sorsa of FINDS, known as “Mr. Nordic Cuisine” in Hong Kong, will demonstrate traditional Nordic dishes including a recipe from HKScan Head Chef Risto Mikkola. Chef JunBo Ming of Formosa (one of the finest Chinese restaurants in Stockholm) provided a recipe on preparing the pork in Cantonese style. Praised in its home markets, Finland and Sweden, for its unique taste and health benefits, Omega-3 Pork is the first product of its kind to debut in Hong Kong.

Chef Risto Mikkola's sweet and sticky glazed Omega-3 pork ribs, are melt-in-your mouth amazing! Cooked low and slow for several hours, then finished on the grill.

Omega-3 Pork Chop Caramelized with Black Pepper Sauce

These sweet and savory pork chops are the perfect Autumn dish! The stars of Chef Jaakko Sorsa’s delicious dish are thick Omega-3 Pork Loin cutlets, along with maple syrup, wine vinegar and fresh herbs.

What is Omega-3 Pork? How does it differ from ordinary pork in terms of taste and nutrition? Omega-3 Pork has 4 times more Omega-3 fatty acids compared to conventional pork. The high quality fat makes it quick to prepare and since it stays juicy and tender longer, cooking time is less critical. The consistent quality of Flodins pork means that the best results are always attainable, for each and every meal. Flodins raises their pigs on small, family owned farms and feeds them a completely natural diet of GMO-free corn mixed with locally grown rapeseed.
