The Importance of Human Connection

Customer loyalty is significantly enhanced by fostering a human connection between businesses and their clients. Chewy, for example, has implemented personalized experiences, such as sending customers pet portraits and birthday cards, which create memorable interactions that clients tend to share widely. This focus on empathy in customer service reveals a stark contrast to the often impersonal nature of interactions offered by larger corporations. By prioritizing genuine connections and providing quick, live human support, Chewy aims to exceed customer expectations and cultivate lasting loyalty.
