You’d be surprised how a small thing, like a birthday card, can make a difference in a business relationship.
I love Southwest Airlines. I actually believe that this big airline cares about me. I recently had a birthday (no tears, I’m glad about it!).
Life is high touch. Southwest understands this. (I appreciate a hand-written card. I believe in the thank you note. I believe “The Fortune Is in the Follow-Up”.
Every year I receive a birthday card from Southwest Airlines. It includes a note of appreciation and signatures from a whole bunch of people. OK, I know these aren’t actual signatures, they’re copies, but it’s so personal feeling. I love the photo on the front of the card—big Happy Birthday letters and balloons—placed just as the tide is coming in at the beach.
The Personal Touch Makes a Difference
I don’t know if Southwest knows that I love the beach, but the card is happy—the company remembered and thanked me for being part of the Rapid Rewards® family. We can all get more personal.
