Many companies aim to be customer-focused but struggle to know what it actually looks like and how to truly make customers the center of their businesses.
Customer experience is continually evolving as technology and customer demands change. Just because a company was once customer-centric doesn't mean it still is in 2021.
What does it mean to be customer-centric in 2021? Consider these six factors of customer-centric companies:
In case you are keeping track:
NYC Restaurants Deal With Lingering Customers
At Cote , the Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse in the Flatiron District, everything is changing. Tables for two are growing to four- and six-tops. Customers are still socially distanced, but they're also having fun. They're even "rambunctious," according to proprietor Simon Kim. "They're ordering like they're on expense accounts — and they're not." But that's not all that's changed, he says. "People used to be busy. Now they like to hang out."

3 Ways to Get Customers to Make More Online Purchases in 2021 | Inc.com
Successfully increasing the number or value of purchases from online customers looks different from one brand to the next. There are tried and true tactics, of course, like establishing appropriate shipping thresholds , bundling complementary items, and offering minimum spending discounts--all of which have stood the test of time and are well worth considering and customizing to the likes of your business.
According to Pymnts.com , 87 percent of today's consumers ages 22 to 44 would like to be able to break up large purchases into monthly installments. To that end, it's no surprise the Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) model is having a moment. Like its traditional retail ancestor, the layaway plan, BNPL allows customers to split purchases into installments rather than one lump sum.
Many things were taking place:
RPU begins Neighbors Chipping In program to help customers in need | Post Bulletin
Rochester Public Utilities has launched the Neighbors Chipping In program, a voluntary, ongoing fundraising program to benefit RPU customers in need of help.
The program allows RPU customers to help other customers by agreeing to have their monthly utility bill "rounded up" to the next whole dollar or by an amount of their choosing.
"There has been a growing need in the Rochester community for resources and support with paying utility bills," said Krista Boston, RPU director of customer relations. "We wanted to customize a program that would provide the assistance needed, as well as leverage our existing local resources and partnerships."
New Dialing Procedure for Customers with the 202 Area Code
Washington, DC, April 05, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- All customers with the 202 area code should prepare for 10-digit dialing and the introduction of the new 771 area code. The 771 area code will be added as an overlay to the 202 region. An overlay is the addition of another area code (771) to the same geographic region served by an existing area code (202).
Important safety and security equipment, such as medical alert devices, and alarm and security systems must be programmed to use 10-digit dialing. Many systems operate on 10-digit dialing by default, but some older equipment may still use 7 digits. Any needed reprogramming of alarm and home security equipment must be done between April 10, 2021 and October 9, 2021.
Strength Beyond In Kalamazoo WON'T Allow Masked Customers
We are seeing higher and higher positive cases of Covid-19 in Michigan than ever before, and now it seems one business owner in Kalamazoo says it's time we stop "adding to a narrative that is perpetuating political discourse and non-sense." Yesterday the Founder of Strength Beyond posted an update on Facebook, which has since been deleted, tagging his business as a location, making this unbelievable announcement:
Going forward, masks will not be allowed at Strength Beyond Fitness. We feel that it's adding to a narrative that is perpetuating political discourse and non-sense, and is extremely unhealthy if you are exerting yourself. If you are a member and you feel wearing a mask is protecting you or others text me and I will freeze your account until there are no mask mandates.
