Every business makes mistakes every once in a while. And in most cases, a simple yet professional apology email is capable of changing a customer’s perception of the situation for the better and helping you maintain your relationship with them. Regardless of what happened, and whoever was at fault, a well-crafted, timely, apology letter can go a long way in turning a negative customer experience into a positive one, while increasing customer retention and reducing churn.
In fact, according to the RightNow report, 63% of consumers would be willing to go back to a company after a negative experience if they received a follow-up apology/correction from a supervisor/head office.
