Building brands through customer service
?
At the center of every iconic brand is a stellar product or service. Where most businesses lose their track
is when they feel selling a product or service merely needs good advertising so that customers perceive
it to be a better product and in turn the product or service becomes a brand. The entire focus is on
communication.

product, he is serviced when there is a problem. This is where customer service as a brand building
opportunity comes in.
