    Notes: One-third of US adults (18+) report having ever used social media to ask a customer service question, and 83% say they received an answer the last time they did so, according to results from a Parature survey. That’s a more encouraging result than seen in several other studies that have shown social response rates from brands to be less than ideal, including a recent Socialbakers report that found 74% of questions to be answered on Facebook but just 30% on Twitter.

    Meanwhile, the Parature report finds that consumers are more likely to have used social media to praise (50%) than complain about (38%) a brand’s customer service.

    Overall, though, consumers reported being more likely to regularly use several other customer service channels, led by the phone (81%).
