WISMO: What it means and why you should know it

You’ve surely heard about WISMO. This acronym stands for “Where Is My Order?” and it’s becoming more and more popular with the rapid increase in customer expectations.

Here at ShippyPro, we have analyzed the WISMO issue, considering every aspect of it and providing effective solutions.

WISMO: the Meaning and the Issue

It has been estimated that nearly 93% of online shoppers demand to receive updates on their shipments. They expect to never wonder “Where is my order?”. And when they do, they can easily turn your customer experience into a nightmare.

With Amazon Same-Day Delivery or Amazon Prime Now, 63% of customer expect 3-Day Delivery as standard and 40% of them affirmed that shipments that take more than two days would prevent them from making the purchase.

If your after-sales service is not working properly, clients will complain and you will lose regular customers.

Besides, it’s 7 times more expensive to get a new customer than to retain an existing one. Now, what can middle merchants do in order to avoid losing customers?

WISMO: How to improve customer satisfaction

The Middle Merchant usually works really hard to get new customers to make a purchase in their marketplaces. Delivery can be the make or break point for the relationship with customers.

Online customers want retailers to manage their delivery, without being bothered when encountering issues such as incorrect addresses or damages. This means merchants have to know more than just when the order arrives at the end-customer.
