Hypothesis 5:
The goal of this hypothesis is to understand whether the
availability of communication method with a direct re-
sponse, like chat and phone, participate in creating a dif-
ferent customer satisfaction level compared to delayed
contact methods, as for example the e-mail.
In order to
answer to this hypothesis, customers were
asked to indicate what contact method they would be
most likely to use, provided that all indicated methods
were available. The suggested contact methods were
chat, phone, e-mail and text message.
The result of this question shows that 67.4% answers are
in favor of real time contact methods. The highest values
were
achieved by the chat, with 38.4% preferences. E-
mail followed with 31.9%; phone received 29% of the
preference and text messages, with only one result,
achieved less than 1% (Table 11).
A Chi-Square test showed that the values are statistically
valid. It is therefore possible to
consider this hypothesis
confirmed (Table 12).
The fact that the chat appears to be the preferred contact
method and that the phone was not the preferred channel
may depend
on the age, but also open to further research
on the psychological effect of the chat on customers.
