6. how we are using
social media
to improve herm island’s
customer service

7. Herm Island's Social Accounts act as a central hub for customer
service which can then be channeled to the right people
This means that visitors no longer need to find the right
person , phone number or email address
Every question can be answered on social

That’s because herm island’s communication with its fans happens in
real time

9. We have built such an engaged and loyal fan base that sometimes
the community answers visitors’ questions even before we can!

10. ...And it’s not just visitor’s questions we’re answering on social
We also use social to give out useful information to visitors
before, during and after their visit
boat timetables, weather updates, hotel vacancies, all in real
time, within minutes of receiving the information ourselves
we've even taken bookings through facebook!

we can’t do it all ourselves though! the most shared content comes
from the fans themselves, only they can really tell the story
we just encourage and enable them to do it

12. Customer service via an open forum on social media allows Herm
Island to share the positive sentiment to the entire audience
Fans and customers trust and rely on peer to peer
recommendations of Herm's products and services
word of mouth beats brand messaging
every time
