Random Acts of Kindness
I'll never forget the day my uncle took our family out to eat in Arcadia just outside LA. It had been a long day of family time so naturally we were all exhausted! So when the man across the room started approaching my uncle I could tell he wasn't exactly in the mood to indulge in a hour long conversation with a strange man. But as he neared, it turned our my uncle had actually known the man, quite some time ago and somehow lost touch. They talked for a few minutes and parted. After our dinner, I'll never forget what my uncle did next. He called our server over and asked to pick up the entire family's dinner bill. "Don't tell him who's paying but I want to cover his bill", were the words he used.
Practice random acts of kindness! Turns out it's not just a semi-annoying bumper sticker we see on cars that cut us off in California traffic. We believe it's actually a winning business strategy. It’s a way to show customers how much we care and how much we appreciate your repeat business and referrals. It’s not new, of course. For years our dry cleaner has been giving away hard fruit candies (which we do in our showroom) and mushy red apples. But that’s not what exactly what we're talking about. We want to transform it into our times today and by that we mean utilizing the power of social media. Yes, everyone's doing it and you should be too. Marketing & trend watching firms say sites like Twitter and Facebook have taught today’s consumers to be more touchy-feely. And because people now reveal their most private thoughts and embarrassing moments online, they really don’t mind if some random business eavesdrops on them and sends a coupon for a free cupcake--or spa treatment or oil change or whatever--when they’re feeling tired or stressed or sad or hungry or etc. It seems super easy to surprise and delight consumers with a random act of kindness. Whether it's sending gifts, responding to publicly expressed moods or just showing you care, random acts of kindness are a fun and lighthearted demonstration of how Real Deal Furniture can access information locally in San Diego to hopefully brighten our customer's days.
