How Twitter Provided PF Changs A Delightful Opportunity

by Karl on July 10, 2009

I think this simple story of how a customer at PF Changs got an appetizer and desert bought for her after tweeting about her food is a great example of how small things can make a big difference. I love that this example demonstrates the value of connecting employees and customers through social media enabling a more human connection.

Many companies should ask themselves ‘could something like this happen at my company’ and if the answer is no start removing the reasons why.

Thanks to Andy Sernovitz for the video

It’s cool to see it directly from the source like that, it makes it really real. I hope lots of businesses will realize how easy it can be.

It would be useful for everyone to read ‘It happened in India’ to understand how the retail industry evolved here. And how design played a role. India is a land of entrepreneurs, even the housewife has an entrepreneurial spirit! Loose systems (too big a nation, too unorganised an administration) allow human ingenuity to rise up, create, innovate. Design thinking is something that the entrepreneur understands. And has been smart enough to tap into not only the talents and the skills, but the minds of trained designers. Loosely again, business design is striving and thriving.
