    Promotional Products are Sticky - That's a Good Thing

    Every business makes promises to customers. Those promises are put to the test in a peak season. All businesses have peak seasons and have to make good on their promises. Tomorrow is the start of the peak season for customer service personnel who work in retail businesses. It is the “return” season, the time of year that requires real gumption, patience, and courtesy. Exchanges are needed, refunds are requested, lines are long, and tempers get short. Policies and people are stretched. It is also a season that is a huge opportunity if it is handled right.

    Returns are unavoidable. “I might have gained a few pounds so that shirt is the wrong size so I’ll exchange it for the right size. Oh, you are out of my size?

Those people who are on the front lines of return season, the clerks and customer service representatives can be the good-will ambassadors as they fulfill their company’s promises for quality, service, and convenience. If the promises are kept, the relationship between the customer and company is strengthened but if there is a problem, the company has probably lost a customer and might even have someone “telling everyone I know how terrible you have treated me.”
