EP179: Condiments, Content, and Connections!

Learn about an environmentally friendly ketchup bottle, a song for the age we’re living in, and a pre-written thank you card that will make you smile.  Bite-Sized Delight From the Episode: • Is Your R&D Focused on Enhancing Your CX? - Heinz spent over 185,000 hours and $1.2 million to create a new, fully-recyclable ketchup bottle cap - because it was the right thing to do for the environment and their increasingly environmentally-conscious customers. • Give Your Customers What They Want Before the Go - Ryan Anderson's catchy parody song reinforces the importance of making the customer experience better before your website visitors leave in frustation because they can't easily find what they want. • Little Surprises Create Big Connections - Including a pre-written thank you note along with a child's birthday gift is a great way for the creative team at Wicked Uncle to connect their customers (those who purchase gifts for children) to their customers' customers/end users (the children that receive these gifts).
