EOTW Customer Service


Sounds OK right? Nice and polite, no pressure WRONG!

He just says have you received our products?

WHAT PRODUCTS?

I pretty much use Amazon for everything apart from food, so I have no idea what this company sold me, and I'm not going to bother logging in to find out.

Now here's a review request for a dog towel I bought for my new doggy. I answered this one straight away.

Hi Roli,

We recently launched the Mabel's brand and we cannot thank you enough for purchasing our first ever product and choosing us out of all of our competitors. We hope you and your pup are enjoying your new purchase!

We're absolutely delighted to have you as one of our first customers and would really appreciate your feedback with an Amazon product review. Let us know what you think of the towel (doggie photos encouraged!) here -
LINK REDACTED
Please remember to wash with dark / similar colours only, to avoid any accidents.

Have a wonderful day and we look forward to giving your dog more Mabel's products in the future.

Best wishes,
Harry & Mabel


Now look at that, Harry & Mabel's company looks like it's thriving, and this was just probably an auto message sent to me, but hey, they seem to care, and it's a good product, so I gave a great review; and I'll probably buy something from them again.

The first product may well have been an amazing product, it probably was, I send back anything that doesn't satisfy me. However the letter was sterile and left me with no clue as to what the actual thing was.

Plus, what's with that store name!

Quick breakdown

We recently launched the Mabel's brand and we cannot thank you enough for purchasing our first ever product Here they let me know that the product I bought is their flagship product, this made a difference as it piqued my interest as to what else they did, so I had a browse.

We hope you and your pup are enjoying your new purchase! OK so by this line I now know what they're talking about, they haven't mentioned the product, but they mention my dog, so now I know it's a doggy product.

We're absolutely delighted to have you as one of our first customers and would really appreciate your feedback with an Amazon product review. Let us know what you think of the towel (doggie photos encouraged!) here - This for me is great, they show gratitude for my custom, and with the tone of the mail, sounds very genuine. They ask for a review in a passive way, saying that they would appreciate a feedback, and then they confirm exactly what product they're talking about. Then they try and connect with me as a dog owner, which is great, I can almost imagine them smiling as they wrote this. Lastly they give me the exact link, this is Very Important, as it is not asking me to do any extra work by finding out exactly how to leave a review. It assumes that I don't know, and that's a good thing.

Please remember to wash with dark / similar colours only, to avoid any accidents. Great, she gives me a quick product tip. Whilst simple, tells me at once that there is no special care required for the towel (which I was wondering about).

Have a wonderful day and we look forward to giving your dog more Mabel's products in the future. Nice personal closing line, referencing the day they sent it on, this is good psychology as it puts me in an immediate frame of mind. There's none of this 'see you around' type sign-off. Then they remind me that they have other products (which rekindled my earlier piqued interest), plus there is no begging-type request, for me to 'tell my friends!' and you know what? I've told about a dozen people about that towel and 2 of them have bought three between them!

Best wishes,
Harry & Mabel
Again, nice and personal, and they've used their names. So the whole mail has left me with the feeling that they care about their products, and customers, and they are dog lovers, perfecto!


Take note sellers, good luck!!

Oh and if you're a dog owner in the UK (I don't know if they deliver internationally), that dog towel is amazing! After a run in the muddy wet park, it get's our wet hairy mutt dry in no time at all!

I am in no way affiliated with this company and will not receive anything for my free plug.
