Create a great customer experience in your Osbisy shop

Customer service starts the moment a shopper first clicks on your listing. Your product alone isn’t enough to help a shopper decided to make a purchase. Shoppers also want to know key information like product specifications (size, color, material, etc.), how long it will take to ship, and if they can return or exchange products. Clear listings and policies build trust with potential buyers. 

Tips for providing great customer service in your shop and listings:

  • Make sure product photos are clear and show the details.
  • Make sure important product specifications are clear to avoid shoppers having to message and ask questions.
  • Set expectations that you can realistically meet for things like production and shipping timelines.
  • Communicate detailed and transparent shop policies.

  1. Login to Osbisy.com, click the Your Account, then click Go to Vendor Dashboard. 
  2. Click Products.

Communicating with buyers

Communication between sellers and buyers is one of the most important factors in a successful transaction. Shoppers may message you with questions before they purchase a product, after they order with questions about shipping timelines or issues with their order, or with questions or concerns after they receive their order. 

Tips for communicating with customers:

  • Use an inviting and polite tone to establish trust.
  • Be consistent and quick to get customers the information they want fast.
  • Address questions or concerns with clear, concise answers.
  • Be honest and set expectations you can realistically meet.

Resolving customer service issues

Whether it’s a lost package, delayed production, or a customer is not happy with a product they purchased, sometimes things go wrong. By acknowledging the problem and taking practical steps to resolve the issue, you can often alleviate a frustrating situation and build customer loyalty. 

Tips for resolving customer service issues:

  • Acknowledge the customer’s concern so they feel heard.
  • Instead of placing blame, focus on doing what you can to make it right.
  • Be patient and understanding in your communication with the customer.
  • Work with the customer to find a solution swiftly.
  • If a product is lost in shipping or a customer requests changes to a custom product, consider taking a small loss for the return of customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Building relationships

Customer service doesn’t stop after the transaction has ended. Many customers become repeat buyers so keeping in touch can go a long way to build those relationships. Before reaching out to customers, be sure that you have the buyer’s consent to message them and are complying with applicable local marketing laws. Learn more in our seller policy.

Tips for building relationships and customer loyalty:

  • Follow up after a purchase to make sure the customer is satisfied. 
  • Consider offering special coupon codes to entice past buyers to purchase again. 
  • Stay in touch with loyal buyers to let them know about special offers, new products, or shop announcements. 
  • Follow up with customers who have expressed an interest in your products but never followed through.

To set up a sale or coupon:

  1. Login to Osbisy.com, click the Your Account, then click Go to Vendor Dashboard.
  2. Click Coupons.
