Yesterday I wrote my blog about a wonderful small business from which I purchased some candles. I talked about the heart that company has and the pride it took in its products. Now, I'd like to toot my own horn!
Today, since the rain overtook our 4th of July barbecue plans, my family and I decided to go to the Cheesecake Factory for dinner. I was initially seated at the table by myself waiting for my husband and son to come back from returning a few shirts in the mall. While I waited for them to join me, I noticed a young woman seated at the table across from where I sat. As I sat waiting, I could see from the corner of my eye, the young woman looking at me.
We enjoyed a nice dinner despite the pouring rain outside. As the evening wore on, she turned to look at me several more times. I didn't really think much of it until she got up to leave. When she got up she didn't walk toward the exit, but rather she walked toward our table.
She smiled and introduced herself and told me that she had just received an order of some of my products in the mail. I immediately ask If she was happy with her order. She said that she absolutely loved the products that she ordered. She told me that they were so special and she loved each and every one that she got. I was beyond thrilled that someone would actually take the time to walk over to tell me this. Then she thanked me and turned to walk away. She walked a few steps then turned back around. She came back to tell me that in opening the package, she loved and was amazed at the detail that I give to each product, and to my packaging. I was so happy that my products, my overall brand, had made enough of an impact on her that she felt compelled to say something to me.
I was beyond thrilled and as I think back on this wonderful chance meeting, it makes me so happy!
