While Panasonic is busy boosting its customer service capabilities through Twitter, Samsung is taking a more old school route by opening seven “Customer Service Plazas” (CSP) across Australia.
Two CSPs are already open in Melbourne and Darwin, with Perth and Brisbane due to open their doors by November. Two in Sydney and one in Adelaide are on the plans for early next year.
It’s costing the company $3 million to take this more face-to-face approach, as each CSP will house state-of-the-art testing and service areas for Samsung products. Those waiting for on-the-spot repairs can grab a coffee and browse the internet at cafes in the waiting area. They will also accommodate customer service admin offices and training facilities for retailers.
