Our Mission to Surprise and Delight

 

In September 2016, ShoeDazzle and JustFab launched their Surprise & Delight Programs with the common mission of over-delivering on the customer journey, nurturing brand loyalty and advocacy through unexpected experiences.  We identified 3 key business areas that would be most impacted by our efforts.

Our Surprise and Delight Programs, affectionately called #XOJustFab and #XOShoeDazzle, identifies members in every stage of the customer experience and shows them we care. Whether it’s mailing a handwritten note and gift, delivering flowers, or flying to their city to create a custom VIP experience, our brands are committed to setting the bar when it comes to surprising and delight.

 

Everyday Surprises & Wow Experiences

 

  • Everyday Surprises

Our Global Member Services Team engages with our customers daily on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, and Pinterest, leveraging Lithium Social Media Management (SMM) for Service. We get to hear not only their customer experiences but also about the life events they are shopping for. It was natural to make a human connection and react with joy, empathy, and kindness to their life events.

We keep our eyes peeled for opportunities to brighten a customer’s day. A customer tells us the shoes she wants for her wedding day are out of stock. Enter: Surprise & Delight – we go back to the factory, re-order the shoes, and send them to her with a note congratulating her on her big day. It is moments like these that we thrive on.

 

By utilizing social listening through Lithium SMM for Service, we are able to transform the way we provide support to our customers.  An ordinary customer support interaction is now made extraordinary and unforgettable.  Through Lithium, we can also utilize social listening to maximize our impact on our customers and provide even more memorable experiences.

  • Wow Experiences

Every month, our Social Media and Community Teams identify one or more of our top customers who are truly deserving of an over the top VIP experience. In January, the JustFab team chose a 3rd grade teacher in Dallas and treated her entire faculty to a morning of pampering (breakfast, massages and gifting) before welcoming their students for the day. We also gifted the member with items from her JustFab wishlist and a $250 Michael’s gift card to help buy school supplies. Video recap

 

To date, JustFab and ShoeDazzle has created Wow Experiences in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Houston, and Dallas for our top customers.

The Results: Positive Word of Mouth & Brand Loyalty 

 

The business impact has been immense. We are building positive word-of-mouth and inspiring customers to share their unexpected experience with friends, family and social networks.

 

The Surprise and Delight movement has also fundamentally changed the culture of all our member interactions. Every employee is encouraged to take the extra time to make a personal connection with our members. To date, we have made 50,000 personal connections via the Surprise and Delight Program, exceeding our goal by 100x.

 

Since launching the program, both brands have seen a positive increase in NPS scores.
