High Tech Startup Uses High Touch Strategy to Grow Exponentially
There’s a new business that sells some very cool, very fashionable items. Online. It’s called “fab.com”.
It’s the brainchild of Jason Goldberg, Fab’s CEO. Jason’s smart — with an MBA from Stanford University. And well connected — he worked for President Bill Clinton for 6 years as one of Clinton’s White House staff.
Great Fashionable Items at Great Prices
So Jason gets this crazy idea to start-up the business called fab.com and in 115 days since launch, fab has over 650,000 members (it’s free but you must still apply and be accepted) and over 100,000 orders. The press on this new venture is nothing short of phenomenal with coverage by anyone and any media that is worthy of note — Forbes, WSJ, CBS News, Fast Company, etc. — you get the idea.
The Power of Personal Touches
But look at what Jason Goldberg the founder and CEO of fab.com is doing. The picture above is an actual, handwritten note sent along with one (of a number, I presume) of those 100,000 or so orders. Yep. Jason Goldberg, CEO of this exponentially growing business (fab.com’s on track to do $10,000,000 in sales before the first year is over) is sending random ‘love’ notes of appreciation to his new customers. Way to go, Jason!
KEY POINT:
When company leaders engage in high-touch activities with customers, everyone benefits!
