When Brands Get It Right #ActsOfCaring

Have you ever seen a promotion for “new customers only” and wondered why you, a current and long term customer, were not offered the same deal? I think we all have, and companies are starting to realize the importance of valuing their customers. If your company doesn’t offer promotions, specials and appreciation to their current customers, what will keep them around?

It’s great to be appreciated as a loyal customer, and when a company shows their appreciation they are likely to keep me as a customer even when a better deal comes along from a competitor. Telus is a brand that really understands showing appreciation. Take a look at what they did for Ramona.

I love how Telus went above and beyond to show Ramona just how much they value her as a customer. That is the kind of company I want to be connected to!parasailing

Ramona’s dream got me wondering what I would do if I could do absolutely anything for one day. I have been very blessed to cross off many items from my bucket list over the last few years, but my family wasn’t always at my side. I think if I could do anything for one day, I would want to do some of those things over again, with my entire family. I would love to take them all up in a hot air balloon, go parasailing and zipline over treetops. New experiences are more fun when you get to do them with people that you love! Telus realized that too, which is yet another reason they excel in customer appreciation.

TELUS isn’t stopping there. The TELUS Care-a-Van team is going to Guelph this week with a host of events and activities that will be taking place all week long to specially thank TELUS local customers in the Guelph community.

  • TELUS is literally performing everyday acts of caring all over the Guelph community throughout the week. As part of this, we’re donating $5 to the Guelph Children’s Foundation for every use of #actsofcaring.
  •  TELUS is going door to door to the homes of their top 100 customers to thank them personally with a care package – a small token of our appreciation.
  • TELUS is hosting a free BBQ lunch for the top 1000 customers and their families at the local TELUS store. They will be presenting a cheque to the Guelph Children’s Foundation in the amount of $5000 – in response to all the uses of #actsofcaring. Donald Woodley (member of TELUS Board of Directors) will present the cheque.

They are recognizing customers and supporting important local causes. You can see the Telus You Tube video on their account, and subscribe to all of their videos too. If you could do anything for a day, what would it be?

    This will sound a bit weird, but probably would want to do my wedding again. We decided to get married on a Friday and 2 days later we did on Sunday. There were a lot of people who couldnt make it and I was so overweight at the time. One day when I complete my weight loss journey I would like to redo it, renew my vows 🙂

      Oh, I would like to renew my vows too. I loved my wedding, but I was both pregnant (ssshhhhh) and very sick with bronchitis, so I didn’t feel great at all.

    If I could do anything for a day it would be to lay on a beach and snorkel all day. Not so much around here though!

    I think Telus has done a great PR job with this. It is time companies go above and beyond for the current customers, not just in attracting new ones!

    That is so great to see. I wish more companies would do stuff like this for their loyal customers. It’s frustrating when some companies would rather lose you as a customer than do something extra for you.

    What an awesome thing of Telus to do! It would be really hard to choose just one thing to do if I had one day but I would take time and do everything I wanted to do like go shopping, running, to the spa, etc. I hardly get anytime to myself with a baby boy, a 4 year old boy and a husband who are very needy.

    I have only ever been with telus as far as I can remember and I am old now lol If I could do one thing I would take a family vacation with my kids. I have been places with just one at a time but we have never been able to go all together so that would be really great .I dont think I would even care if they were all grown with kids of their own one day I want that family vacation lol
