In a hyperconnected world, Customer Experience (CX) is no longer limited to traditional support. The Social CX revolution emerges by integrating social media, instant messaging, and digital channels with a human and intelligent approach. Here’s why it’s essential in 2025 and how OneMarketer enables its effective implementation.

1. Why is Social CX critical today?

According to Plivo, companies that prioritize CX achieve up to 49% higher profit growth and 51% better retention. That’s why offering support where customers already engage (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) isn’t optional—it’s strategic.

2. Omnichannel CX trends

• Seamless omnichannel integration: Leading omnichannel strategies drive 10% annual growth in revenue and average order value, along with a 25% increase in conversion rates.
• Ethical tech and automation: While 80% of businesses adopt AI for customer service, only 57% trust it will be used ethically. (The CX Academy).
• Preference for human interaction: A Forbes report shows 59% of consumers still prefer speaking to a person over using a chatbot.

These figures prove the key lies in integrating technology without losing human connection—delivered through social and digital channels.

3. What is Social CX?

OneMarketer defines Social CX as a multi-channel tool where agents manage interactions from social media (DMs, Facebook, Instagram), web chats, and WhatsApp—all from a unified platform. This enables:

• Multiple channels, one view: Consistent support across all touchpoints.
• More efficient agents: Handle multiple conversations simultaneously with intelligent workflows.
• Richer interactions: Multimedia (emojis, stickers, files) to enhance user experience.

4. Tangible benefits of Social CX

This solution delivers measurable results:

• Higher satisfaction & loyalty: Responding where customers already are builds trust and reduces churn.
• Lower operational costs: Automate common queries and optimize agent workload.
• Data-driven strategy: Centralized metrics per channel to guide marketing, sales, and operations.

Additionally, Gartner highlights how OneMarketer enhances marketing, sales, and post-sale support by integrating apps like Instagram, WhatsApp, TikTok, and more.

5. How to implement it: The OneMarketer formula

• Channel integration: Connect Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and others.
• Unified agent dashboard: All social interactions feed into a single inbox.
• Smart chatbots + human escalation: Automate repetitive tasks and route complex issues to agents.
• Multimedia support: Send files, stickers, or videos to enrich interactions.
• Continuous improvement: Centralized reports reveal trends by channel and query type.

With this approach, OneMarketer enables scalable, controlled, and humanized Social CX, aligned with current trends.

6. Real customer results

Industry data shows:

• Per CMSWire, well-executed CX drives 86% of buyers to pay more for a great experience.
• Meanwhile, 72% of dissatisfied customers share negative experiences with at least six people.

By preventing customer loss and boosting reputation, Social CX shifts from a cost to a loyalty and advocacy investment.

7. Recommended Use Cases

• Retail: Answer Instagram/WhatsApp queries, share catalogs, and confirm orders in one place.
• Finance: Provide PDF-supported assistance, with bots escalating complex cases.
• E-commerce: Send recommendations, recover abandoned carts via chat, and offer frictionless post-sale support.

8. Keys to effective Social CX

• Define your channel mix based on your audience.
• Train bots and agents on common workflows and escalation.
• Track response times, CSAT, and NPS per channel.
• Integrate data with CRM/marketing for targeted campaigns.
• Prioritize privacy and ethical AI to build trust.
