Content marketers looking to drive more conversions should consider customer satisfaction, as new research from The Temkin Group reveals that consumers are more likely to make purchases if they have positive customer service experiences.

Although the term “customer service” conjures up images of representatives with headsets who are often typing emails, customer satisfaction can be provided through the generation of quality, custom content that positions a brand as a leader in its field.

Sixty-four percent of Twitter users are more likely to buy from brands that respond on the site.
