Customer Appreciation – Alameda County Community Food Bank

Posted: 01 Apr 2014 08:06 AM PDT

A great day at the office is a day you can give back to your community, and PsPrint did just that when we visited customer Alameda County Community Food Bank for a day of volunteering. The food bank distributes enough food for 380,000 meals weekly, a huge portion of which is fresh fruits and vegetables, and PsPrint employees sorted fruit for hours while dancing and smiling. It's the least we could do for a nonprofit organization that provides such a wonderful service to PsPrint's home county. We're proud the food bank chooses PsPrint for its printing, including fundraiser invitations, thank-you cards, informational brochures and more.
 
"PsPrint's affordable pricing is very important to us – as a nonprofit that serves 1 in 6 of our county's residents – because it helps us to save money that we can instead use to serve the community," Antonio Mena, ACCFB's multimedia coordinator, told me. "The quality of the print jobs is always great, and they are always on time!"
 
The Alameda County Community Food Bank does a lot of different types of print marketing to raise awareness – and funds – for its endeavors. Here is just a sampling of its recent orders:

6 Free Ways To Show Customer Appreciation

Posted: 01 Apr 2014 05:00 AM PDT

One of the best customer retention strategies in the world is to show customers how much you appreciate them. People naturally want to buy from other people who value their relationship, and will not buy from those who take them for granted. Demonstrating customer appreciation is easy and, in many cases, can even be free. You don't need to wine and dine your customers to show them you care; instead, implement the following free ways to show customer appreciation into your overall marketing strategy.

1.  Make a phone call

After you've made a sale, or even if you failed to make a sale, make a follow-up phone call to see if your customer is happy with the purchase or if they have any questions. If you didn't make a sale, you can still follow up to see if your customer was able to find what they were looking for – and then take the opportunity to ask what was more attractive about the option they picked over yours. Personally reaching out shows you care about your customers' satisfaction, regardless of whether they've recently bought from you, and lays the foundation for future sales.

2.  Reciprocal business

If you're a B2B company, always try to buy from your customers. I'm not saying you should unnecessarily spend money, but if you're going to make a purchase anyway it doesn't cost you any more to buy it from your customers. They'll appreciate the reciprocal business, and they'll return the favor.

3.  Thank them publicly

Your blog, newsletter, email blasts, and social media accounts such as Facebook and Twitter present excellent opportunities to thank your customers publicly. Discuss the problem you were able to help solve, express your gratitude for being able to solve it, and wish your customers the best.

4.  Fix problems fast

If a customer has a problem, fix it now. Not tomorrow. Not this afternoon. Right now, as in immediately. Being attentive to customer concerns is one of the best ways to show respect; putting off customer problems and failing to satisfactorily resolve them in a timely manner demonstrates a lack of appreciation.

5.  Be courteous – and train your staff to be courteous

Smile. Shake hands. Be friendly, outgoing and courteous. Strive to help your customers, rather than simply make a sale. Train your staff to behave the same way. When customers come to you, they should feel safe and comfortable. They should trust you and your staff. Being courteous is the first step toward establishing trust.

6.  Remember them

Remember who your customers are and what their goals are. Take time to get to know your customers, so that when a customer calls you know their name is Bob, their wife is Mary, and their two kids (John and Sally) play tee ball. Understand what Bob's goals are so you can play your role in helping him achieve them. When an opportunity presents itself, give Bob a call to tell him about it. You can't care about someone you don't know, and someone who doesn't know you won't be loyal.
