After each order, a text message is sent to customers asking them to rate, on a scale of 0 to 10, the likelihood of recommending Digikala to others based on their purchase. Last year, 13.7% of customers participated in the Net Promoter Score (NPS) survey after making a purchase. The chart below represents the ratings given by customers to Digikala in the year 1401 (2022-2023).
Customers Satisfaction Factors
In the Net Promoter Score survey, individuals who rate below 6 are asked about the reasons for their dissatisfaction. The survey reveals that the quality of products, discrepancies between the product’s information and the received products, technical and visual defects, delayed order delivery, and shipping costs are the main reasons for customer dissatisfaction.
The Customer Experience team also conducts another survey, targeting users who rate 9 and 10, to understand the reasons for their satisfaction. The most important reasons for satisfaction among these highly satisfied customers in the year 1401 (2022-2023) include product variety, pricing, product quality, delivery time, and the ease of returns and refund processes.
With about 10 million product variations in different product categories, each adhering to different production standards and price ranges, a diverse customer experience is created. The quality of the products plays a significant role in both customer satisfaction and dissatisfaction.
With the lifting of payment restrictions at physical locations after the global COVID-19 pandemic in the past year, there has been a significant increase in the number of payments made using this method.
In the year 1401 (2022-23), the possibility of receiving installment credit up to 300 million Rials without a guarantor, solely with an electronic promissory note, and credit up to a limit of 500 million Rials without a guarantor, solely with a checkbook, was provided. In the last month of the previous year, 17% of Digikala's net merchandise value was through installment credit.
Every year, the record for the highest number of orders coincides with the days of special festivals. In the year 1401 (2022-2023), Digikala did not hold any festivals. However, the days of 2nd and 3rd of Khordad, 10th of Dey, 1st and 2nd of Bahman, and 1st, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 13th of Esfand were the top-selling days for Digikala.
The record-breaking days in the absence of special sales festivals in the year 1401 align with the days when the Iranian economy faced significant inflationary or currency challenges, indicating a coincidence.
The most expensive order in the year 1401 (2022-2023) amounted to a shopping basket consisting of 30 items with a value exceeding 4.9 billion Rials.
The largest order in the year 1401 (2022-2023) was a shopping basket belonging to Mr. Hossein Hassani, a loyal customer of Digikala. The basket included 900 books with a value exceeding 58 million Rials. Mr. Hassani is the manager of a restaurant in Mohammad Shahr, Karaj, and he entertains children who visit with their families by offering books alongside food.
