Here are some clever ways to deliver awesome experiences.</p> <p class="p1"><b>1. Send personalized notes. </b></p> <p class="p1">Have you ever received a tweet from your favorite company? Or a lightning-fast response from tech support when you’re having an issue? It feels good to be acknowledged, doesn’t it?</p> <p class="p1">Do the same for your customers and send a bunch of individualized emails. You can say “thank you for your business” to a new or interesting customer. You can send a quick note of thanks to your subscribers who gave your product, service, or program great reviews. Or maybe you can send followup emails to the ones who didn’t gave you good reviews — and ask what you can do better.</p> <p class="p1">Include your contact info and tell them to get in touch with you if they ever have any questions.</p> <p class="p4"><span class="s1"><b>2. Deliver seasonal content. </b></span></p> <p class="p4"><span class="s1">Get creative and think outside the traditional holiday seasons. For example, if you’re a coffee shop owner, you could send your subscribers a special coupon that they can use for a pick-me-up during tax season.</span></p> <strong>Related: </strong><a href="https://blog.aweber.com/email-marketing/2019-email-marketing-statistics.htm?utm_source=awblog&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=blogcontent&utm_content=blogcontent012519originalresearch" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Email Marketing Statistics: We Analyzed 1,000 Emails from Today's Top Experts</a> <p class="p4"><span class="s1"><b>3. Reward your customers.</b></span></p> <p class="p4"><span class="s1">First-time customers could use a push to buy again and return customers deserve to be recognized. Give them a little something — like free shipping on their next order, a free consultation, or a downloadable resource that can help them make a buying decision. </span></p> <p class="p4"><span class="s1"><b>4. Turn your 404 page into an opportunity. </b></span></p> <p class="p4"><span class="s1">A 404 doesn’t have to be a dead end. Instead,<span class="Apple-converted-space">  </span>use it as a chance to delight. </span></p> <p class="p4"><span class="s1">One quick example: If you stumble upon a 404 page on the site Flooring Supplies — the UK’s largest online flooring company — it says “Floor…Oh … Floor!” </span><span class="s1">Here are some <a href="https://fab404.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">more awesome 404 ideas.</a></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><b>5. Respond to questions and comments.</b></span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">Join in on your customers’ conversation. Forums, Twitter chats, and your own social profiles are great places to start. When someone gives you a digital shoutout, respond! It’s a fantastic way to retain customers and maintain stellar customer service. </span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1">If a customer has an issue, give them your undivided attention. By simply listening and working with them to solve it, you can turn a negative situation into a position one. <a href="https://blog.aweber.com/articles-tips/how-to-turn-average-customers-into-raving-fans.htm"><span class="s2">Check out these ideas for turning customers into raving fans</span></a></span><span class="s3">.</span></p> Have more ideas for delighting your customers?
