Early this week I order an Gift Card online from Magnolia Market for my sister’s Christmas Gift. I completed the purchase and notice that she received the gift card a few minutes later. When I spoke to her later that night, I told her that I hoped she did not mind getting her gift before Christmas. Her response was what email and what gift? Well, I went back and checked the purchase, and figured out, I had fat fingered her email address. Got back on line and sent the person who received the gift card an email apologizing for the mistake and asked them not to redeem the gift card. I also sent an email to Magnolia Market explaining what had happen in hopes that they could cancel card and resend the gift card to the correct email address. A very nice young lady from Magnolia Market Customer Serviced responded later that day stating the card had already been redeemed. The remainder of their response is what blew me away. They apologized to me for the error, and offer me a code so I could re-purchase a gift card at no additional cost. I responded, saying the error was mine and they should not feel obligated to replace the gift card. Again, thanking them for their offer. Carrie form Magnolia Market responded: “We really would love for you to use the code provided for a new gift card for your sister” This type of customer service and commitment to customer satisfaction is very rare today. It sounds like their business plan was not taken from a traditional world view point. But from a view point that is more eternal in nature. All they wanted was for this customer to be happy & satisfied. I think this is a lesson we can all benefit from: stop looking to place fault or blame and just offer help. To me this speaks volume about the company and its founders, Chip & Joanne Gaines. They talk the talk and walk the walk. Merry...
