This project focuses on reducing customer support costs for Smartphone users while maintaining service quality. The recommendation is to incentivize users to provide support to fellow users, creating a support community that benefits from user expertise. Possible challenges include the perception of service responsibility relinquishment, incorrect advice, and risks of malicious use or data exposure. However, by encouraging user participation, brand loyalty can be strengthened, leading to reduced reliance on employed CSR support and cost savings. Additionally, leveraging PR opportunities, increasing self-service channel use, and fostering user interconnectedness are key benefits.
