From Store to Home, Appliance Retailers Must Be Consistent with Customer Service, J.D. Power Finds

COSTA MESA, CA — From the moment the shopping experience begins on the store floor, appliance retailers must make a great impression with shoppers, starting with the sales staff interaction and following through to home delivery and installation, according to the J.D. Power 2019 Appliance Retailer Satisfaction Study.^SM

“Sales staff and service, and home delivery and installation are the most impactful factors on customer satisfaction for appliance retailers,” said Christina Cooley, Director of the At-Home Practice at J.D. Power. “If retailers can remain consistent from start to the final finish of installation, they will have the most satisfied customers and a leg up in such a competitive market.”
