This - At a Basic Level
![Page 8: The Little Things That Matter](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051815/53f2164c8d7f72104c8b4d2c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Every day we interact with dozens, if not hundreds of brands. We share our opinions about those brands and their products openly and freely.
Each brand experience is another chance for the brand to build equity with YOU and keep YOU as a customer. Ultimately itʼs to their advantage to keep you happy and satisfied.
Most of these brand interactions are on a small, personal, and individual level.
You are more influential than you know. Brands are starting to recognize your influence. We operate in a world where the paradox of excellence exists and all it takes is one negative interaction to deplete the equity bank.
-Adam Kmiec

AUSTIN, TX (KXAN/AP) - Earlier this month,Starbucks announced it is closing over 600 storesdeemed "unprofitable." Now we know which locationsare on the chopping block.
The company had previously planned to shut 100stores. The 500 more that will be closed had been onan internal watch list for some time. They were notprofitable, not expected to be profitable in theforeseeable future, and the "vast majority" had beenopened near an existing company-operatedStarbucks, Bocian said.

As you prepare for the FY 08 strategic planning process, Iwant to share some of my thoughts with you.
Over the past ten years, in order to achieve the growth,development, and scale necessary to go from less than1,000 stores to 13,000 stores and beyond, we have hadto make a series of decisions that, in retrospect, havelead to the watering down of the Starbucks experience,and, what some might call the commoditization of ourbrand.

1. Appointing senior VP Germano, who is charged with monitoring all customerservice issues and building an infrastructure for preventing problems and addressing them.
2. Having an in-house team poring over the internet looking for signs of trouble and discontent.
3. Creating mechanisms for real-time communication between customer-relations employees and repair/install dispatchers.
4. Shifting the incentives for frontline employees from "productivity" to quality; i.e., getting the problem solved versus getting on to the next caller/service order at the expense of the current one.
5. Resolving to host ("within a year," according to Germano) some equivalent ofComcastmustdie.com on its own site, rather than depend on a third party toentertain the criticism, frustration, anger and suggestions of its customers.

Answer - $4,000
![Page 99: The Little Things That Matter](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051815/53f2164c8d7f72104c8b4d2c/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
“Today, I tried to return a $24 lampshade (didnʼt fit) to Targetʼs Burbankstore. I had lost the receipt, but the return policy says you only need thecard you used to purchase. I had that.
The “customer service” clerk scanned the shade and said “We donʼt carrythis lampshade.” Fine. Here it is. Doesnʼt fit. Perfect condition. Just give mestore credit, and Iʼll go drop another $200 today in your store.
Nope. “Thereʼs nothing I can do for you.” she says. My wife goes to see ifshe can find an identical one on the shelves. She does. Clerkʼs Supervisor ishere now. She scans it. That one doesnʼt exist either. Hmm, strange. Flaw inTargetʼs system, theyʼll probably give me the benefit of the doubt at thispoint.
Okay, Target. Do the math. If you lose customers who spend $4,000 a yearover a $24 return (not a cost, you get to restock the merchandise), howlong do you suppose youʼll stay in business?Target, today you lost a family who loved shopping at your stores. Bye.”

BikeForums member ReachHigher stripped down to her sports bra andspandex after Walmart refused to let her enter the store with her $600 bike. A manager explained that since Walmart sold bikes, bringing in an outside bike would obviously be too confusing to handle. ReachHigher asked if they also sold shirts.
"She said yes so I took off my jersey and said well then I'd better not bring this in either..."
“Her expression when the shirt came off was absolutely priceless...I waspretty tempted to take off the spandex too but I wasn't sure whatconstitutes indecent exposure in Virginia so I figured I'd err on the side ofcaution. Still I had a decent sized crowd gathered before the end of thediscussion.”
