There are so many examples daily about the fantastic customer support of various companies. But my favorite example is as follows:

Samsung: A Unicycling Kangaroo and a Dragon Phone

As a loyal Samsung customer, Canadian Shane Bennett asked for a free unit of their latest, soon-to-launch phone. To sweeten his offer, he included a drawing of a roaring dragon.

Not surprisingly, Samsung said “no”. But to say thanks, they sent him their drawing of a unicycle-riding kangaroo.

Shane then shared both messages (and drawings) to Reddit where it went viral. In response, Samsung Canada sent him the phone he asked for – and customized it with his fire-breathing dragon artwork.

Takeaway: Have fun with customer interactions. Don’t take yourself too seriously.

The best and quickest 24/7 support service is LiveChat then you can have Twitter and FB. Also having a blog for your customers is highly adviced since customers can share their experiences together and this helps in creating bonds between customers and the company.
