I've been building websites of all shapes and sizes since the 'simpler times' of 1997. During that time I've dished out advice and helped build strategies to introduce countless websites to the world, but rarely do I get the opportunity to participate on longer term audience building due to the sadly transient nature of contracting. I continue to keep my eyes out for 'better practices' to share with clients to help them once they're feet are on the ground.
I've lately been made aware that I'm actually a repeat customer of a great example. My sexy grammar nazi signed us up for a weekly delivery of a bag (or occasionally a crate) of organic vegetables. So what? Bear with me for just a moment...
In praise of Home Organics
I'm not going to get into the pros and cons of irradiated veggies, added cost or carcinogenic mold that surround the whole organic food thing because, as a member of the Homer Simpson 'food goes in here' school of thought, I haven't a clue! However I can recognise great service when I get it.
Once a week I'll wander downstairs and swap wrinkled notes for a bag of veg with an always helpful and damn-right friendly member of the home organics team. At times when I can't make it for some random reason, they'll arrange alternatives. No fuss, no hassle.
So that's the human touch down to a tee, onto to their web presence. Please note, I'm steering clear of technical and performance aspects in this post and will be sticking with added value to the customer. So in addition to no hassle home delivered veggies, the home organics team regularly publish recipes based on the contents of that weeks bags. Nice touch. This info is then spread by their blog and the inevitable Twitter stream, where, should they wish, clients can share their personal experiences and give feedback.
So I guess, if I were to bullet point all this, I'd say Home Organics are convenient, personable and damn helpful - what more could you want?
Home organics on the web:
Disclosure: I'm in no way affiliated with Home Organics or the developers who built their web presence. I'm just a satisfied customer who is of the opinion that satisfied customers should share their good experiences more often.
