Establishing trust with the customers is highly essential for earning profits and higher sales. The trust factor is same for a physical shop as well as a website. If you have offered quality product first time, the same thing is expected when they come second time for purchase and if you fail to offer that similar quality, they look out for another website.
People's trust once broken is difficult to restore, the reasons might be many and different in nature. Sometimes companies make fake promises at the time of sale and fail to fulfill it or are unable to deliver quality goods or services. Nearly all customers might have been duped of their expectations by merchants once in their lives, or have listened to their friends or relatives about the bad experience
