Did you know that psychologists have found that people don’t mind interacting with automated or artificial intelligence customer service1https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0747563221004155#! so long as they perceive some “humanness” in the conversation? 

This means you don’t have to type out a hand-crafted response to every customer inquiry (because who has time for that?)

You can use a pre-made email template to communicate with your customers and offer quick solutions. Here is how to write a genuinely helpful support email that saves time and keeps loyal customers coming back.

Customer Service Stats You Should Know

Before responding to any customer service inquiry, it helps to know the numbers. Fortunately, stats show it’s not difficult to set yourself apart from the rest. Did you know that…

  • 86% of customers are willing to pay more2https://www.superoffice.com/blog/customer-experience-statistics/ for companies that offer better customer service.
  • 89% of customers switch to a competitor3https://www.oracle.com/corporate/pressrelease/jeanne-bliss-customer-experience-073019.html after a poor customer service experience.
  • 82% of customers expect an immediate response4https://blog.hubspot.com/service/customer-service-stats from companies.
  • 32% of customers prefer phone support5https://kayako.com/live-chat-software/statistics/ for customer service, while 41% of customers prefer live chat, and only 23% prefer email support.
  • 72% of customers prefer self-service support6https://www.zendesk.com/blog/searching-for-self-service/ like FAQs and short online tutorials. 
  • 90% of customers read online reviews7https://www.reviewtrackers.com/reports/online-reviews-survey/ before visiting a business.

Needless to say, customer support could be the tipping point for your company’s success.

7 Tips to Write an Engaging Customer Service Email

Research shows that quality virtual customer service improves brand loyalty8https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/17505931011070587/full/html and directly impacts a consumer’s trust in your company. In today’s competitive landscape, support interactions are the perfect opportunity to show that you’re willing to go above and beyond for your customers.

A great customer service email is personalized, empathetic, and genuinely helpful. It demonstrates that you care about the customer’s experience and you are willing to help resolve their issue. Follow these 7 steps for customer support email best practices:

1. Respond rapidly

A survey of 3,200 customers9https://www.toistersolutions.com/blog/how-quickly-should-you-respond-to-email found that nearly 50% of people expect companies to respond to their service inquiries within 4 hours. Yet most companies take an average of 12 hours to respond10https://www.superoffice.com/blog/customer-service-benchmark-report/ to their customers! Moreover, over 60% of companies ignore customer service emails! 

If you want happy customers who speak highly of your brand, try to respond as fast as possible. This makes people feel important and valued and more likely to purchase from you again. 

Use email templates and automation software to generate responses as quickly as possible. Ensure that a customer service representative is on-staff during standard business days. You can also incorporate Ai chatbots into your website.

2. Introduce yourself

Always open with a friendly, personalized greeting. An email introduction could be your only chance for a virtual first impression. 

Make it count by:

  • Use a positive greeting like, “Happy Monday!” or “Good Morning!” 
  • Try a unique greeting that matches your brand voice, for example, “Howdy!” or “Aloha!”
  • Greeting the customer by name
  • Typing your name and job title (e.g., “I’m Jessica, the Customer Satisfaction Specialist at Company X.”)

Here’s another 55 Email Greetings (Professional & Fun) to Start an Email.

3. Apologize and/or thank them

After your introduction, it’s best to thank the customer for their email immediately. You can speak on behalf of the company (“we”) or, for the most personalization, use “I” and “me” to create a more direct connection with the reader.

You can say:

  • “Thank you for reaching out. Your concern is very important to me, and I look forward to resolving this issue ASAP.”
  • “I am so sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with our product/service. Let’s make this right!”
  • “I appreciate you reaching out about your concern.”
  • “Thank you for your purchase and your question.”
  • “We value your feedback and are willing to do whatever it takes to make this right.”

4. Directly address the customer’s concern

Go straight into the problem at hand. Most customer support emails are responses to complaints, issues, or questions. Cut out the fluff and stay concise so you can save the customer time. 

It helps to validate their experience. Psychologists find that emotional validation can reduce reactivity11https://guilfordjournals.com/doi/abs/10.1521/jscp.2011.30.2.163. In other words, when you tell someone that their feelings are legitimate, they are less likely to get upset.

For example:

  • “I understand that you are frustrated about your item arriving damaged. I would be too! Let’s make this right.”
  • “We apologize that you are unhappy with our service and take your complaint very seriously.”
  • “I can see why you are upset about the delayed shipping times. Nobody should have to wait this long for their product.” 

When describing the issue, try to mirror the language of the customer. You can use very similar wording to their initial complaint or inquiry. 

5. Offer a solution or action step

There should be no confusion or ambiguity about your solution to their problem. Repeat the problem and tell them exactly what you will do to make it right. Sometimes it helps to give them a choice. In other scenarios, instant action is the best option. 

For example:

  • “We are glad to offer you a full refund or a replacement product with a free gift. Please let me know which you prefer by responding to this email.”
  • “In order to make this right, you have been issued a complete refund. There is no need to ship the product back or take any further action.”
  • “While I cannot offer any refunds at this time, I am glad to send you a replacement product at no cost.”

If you can’t solve the problem, give a clear reason why and, optionally, offer some sort of reconciliation. For example, “Unfortunately, the shipping delays are now in the hands of the carrier. While I cannot control their delivery times, I am glad to offer you free shipping on your next order to make up for the delay.” 

Suppose the problem is clearly the customer’s fault (i.e., a customer wants a full refund for his dropped MacBook far past the return period). In that case, you may need to respond with an apology like, “I’m sorry, but based on our return policy, your item is no longer refundable. There is nothing else I can do. We appreciate your business and hope you are able to repair the item.”

6. Offer continued support

People want to be supported throughout their customer journey. Even though they already purchased the product, your brand reputation hinges upon their follow-up interactions with customer support.

You can offer continued help by saying:

  • “If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to reach out. We value your business and want to ensure a positive experience moving forward!”
  • “I am glad to help you with any future issues.” 
  • “Don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anything. I am here to make sure you are 100% satisfied with your purchase!” 

7. How to end a customer service email?

Once you’ve offered validation, a solution, and continued support, you want to close every customer service email with words of gratitude, your name, and contact information just in case they have further questions. For example:

“Thank you for choosing [Company Name], and we look forward to serving you again in the future.

Best regards,

[Your Name]

[Company Name], [Job Title]

[Contact Phone Number or Email]”

It helps to make this your automated email signature for your customer service email account. Optionally, you can request customer feedback to improve future experiences.

31 Customer Service Email Response Templates and Scripts

If you feel stuck while writing your company’s customer service response email, use a pre-made template or AI assistance to make your life easier. When generating a template, try to be as specific as possible about your scenario. For example, you could ask an AI bot one of the following requests:

  • Write a customer service email for a customer who is unhappy about shipping times.
  • Write a customer support email for somebody who received a defective product.
  • Write an email to a customer requesting an order update.

Most importantly, don’t forget to customize the template. You don’t want to come across as robotic or insincere. Mold the template to meet your company’s brand voice and guidelines.
