How are people experiencing YOUR brand?
|
Over Thanksgiving dinner at my brother's home, the conversation centered on college. My 19-year old nephew who is a sophomore at the University of Michigan (I'd use his photo but he wouldn't approve, so instead you get the logo from his school.)  And my daughter is a junior in high school and is just starting to look into colleges. We had gone on a college visit just that week and had been underwhelmed with the school despite its great reputation.Nate said the smartest thing I'd ever heard about the college search process: "How much you like the college is totally dependent on the tour guide you get."Just think for a moment how true that is. Your experience of that school is mediated by this stranger and if they don't hit the mark with you...because of their training, their presentation, their knowledge or even just that their interests and enthusiasms are too different than your own....then the school is diminished.How does this relate to your business? Think of the touches and interactions that your prospects and clients have with you. Are they all what you want them to be?
In reading the Steve Jobs biography last month, I learned he sweated every detail of the Apple customer experience for all of his products, the hardware, the software, the packaging, the marketing, the logo, you name it.
Check and see what the customer experience is for your business:---Listen to the voice mail message on your business number.---Do all the people in your business use a signature file, making it easy to contact them?---Does an auto-responder reply to inquiries to your website? What does it say?Remember the tour guide and you'll make sure that your users have great experiences.

A most amazing gift idea...or order for yourself.
| 
If you are a former New Yorker, like me, you know that pizza elsewhere pales in comparison. So how about getting it sent to you?
My new client, Adam Froelich of City Pizza Overnight makes FRESH New York-style thin crust pizza to order and then ships it to you overnight.
Order today, eat the most amazing pizza tomorrow night. And he even does GLUTEN FREE pizza crusts!
I can testify to the deliciousness! This is a great gift for any ex-New Yorker! And Adam is "throwing in" 2 extra 10-inch pizzas when you order 3 16-inch pies. CHECK IT OUT!
