What to do with a Blue Crab Trading Groupon….
January 12, 2019
Background on the Successful Find
Scenario #1: “Last month I scrolled through my Groupon app on my cell and gazed at a picture of colossal King Crab Legs with a mere price of $19 for $55 or $45 for $115. The company seemed legitimate, Blue Crab Trading, so I selected the Groupon without worrying or reading any further and bought my deal. Man, that was easy! I can’t wait to receive my tender, juicy crab legs from Groupon! Days ticked by and no crab legs. Maybe I should call the number on my voucher. I scratch my chin with confusion and think possibly the legs fell into the wrong hands! I’m so upset. I can feel my anger fuming and need to call someone. Wait, here’s a number, 1-800-499-2722…
Scenario #2: “Wow! The 30 Crab Package and premium Blue Crabs from American waters sounds like a feast. I’m wondering what ‘premium’ means though. Well, the picture looks appetizing, so I’m going for it. Let me skim the Groupon. As a wince to read the Groupon promotion on my mini-cell, I think I just read, Free shipping. Yes! Free Shipping. What a deal! Let me click on this promotion and wait for the crabs to arrive. I shared my find with my wife and she said she can’t wait to taste the sweet-salty meat.” [Time passes] I found that deal and ordered it three weeks ago. What happened? I mumbled in disdain. Let me call Groupon. Wait, it looks like the contact number is Blue Crab Trading’s number at 1-800-499-2722…
The Call to the Super Friendly Customer Service
Scenario #1: “$19 for $55” or “$45 for $115”
Friendly Customer Care: “Thank-you for calling Blue Crab Trading. This is your super friendly care representative. How may I help you?”
Customer: “Yes, I never received my King Crab Legs through Groupon.”
Friendly Customer Care: “Do you have an order number?”
Customer: “No, I placed my order on Groupon’s site.”
Friendly Customer Care: “Oh, I understand. That’s the Groupon voucher purchase. Your next step requires you to go to Blue Crab Trading’s Home Page and to click on the orange banner named "Deal Site Vouchers: Redeem Here," I’ll gladly place your selections for you.”
Customer: “Well, I clicked on the King Crabs, that’s what I want.”
Friendly Customer Care: When you place your voucher number, starting with the letter G and including the dashes in the redemption space, a full menu of items will show up for your promotion. If you bought the “$19 for $55,” you can add $55 worth of products, while you only paid $19.
Customer: “Oh! That sounds amazing! Let me take some time and make my selections. Thanks for your help.”
Friendly Customer Care: “Keep in mind, though. Shipping isn’t included. Choose a day in advance and different shipping methods allowed for your selections. You can continue to switch dates until you arrive at the best price for you.”
Customer: “Sounds good! Thanks for your courteous explanations!”
Friendly Customer Care: “My pleasure!”
Scenario #2: “The 30 Crab Package”
Friendly Customer Care: “Blue Crab Trading, how may I help you?”
Customer: “I redeemed my Groupon voucher on your website and chose a delivery date that showed on the shipping page as a free selection as advertised. I just want to tell you that your Blue Crabs tasted fresh and each crab weighed with tender crab meat.”
Friendly Customer Care: “That’s great to hear!”
Customer: “Some of my friends want to research your Groupon facts. Do you have a link to the web page?”
Friendly Customer Care: “Sure, let me send the link to your email.”
Customer: “Thank you so much! You’ll hear from me soon for my next Blue Crab Party! By the way, I guess premium crabs means that they’re really full, right?”
Friendly Customer Care: “You got it! We appreciate your business! Have a great day!”
Customer: “You too!”
