Britains learn how to complain with new site
Direct Marketing
Week April 30th, 2001
The
British public are being offered aid in loosening their upper lips
and getting to grips with the art of complaining with the launch
of a new website, howtocomplain.com.
Developed by agency, Aphabet Advertising, the online venture is
aimed at offering help to those who want to complain to companies
about the services they've received, by directing them to the right
places to start, as well as tracking the progress of the complaint.
The
service is hoped to serve as an effective relationship marketing
tool, by allowing the relevant companies access to the findings
of the complainants' experiences and thus learn from their mistakes.
A
soft marketing launch of the service is posied for roll out using
leaflets, a customer e-mail campaign and outdoor executions.
"Usability
and functionality were among the most important features we were
looking for in the designing of the site", said Stuart McCandlish,
site founder and managing director. "After all, the appeal
of the service is that it eases the process of complaining while
giving people the extra element of being able to find out what stage
their complaint has got to."
