Sears Hometown Shop Talk - Invitation to the Party
September 14, 2010 Hometown Store 0 comments
Ive received the honor of being the Best Man at my little brothers wedding which means 2 things. First, I am going to have to deliver a once in a lifetime speech. Second, I have to plan a guys night out. Upon embarking on this adventure, I was certain the speech would be the hard part and the outing would be the easy part. I thought, send an email and invite them via social networking sites then follow up with an email maybe an evite and all will be well. In the age of cell phones, email, evites, blogs, social networking and all other forms of emerging media, Ive discovered that getting 20-30 guys together for an outing is harder than ever. Why? Because not everyone responds to one or two forms of communication even though they subscribe to all of them! Not to mention, with the holidays upon us, bustling work lives and active home lives, everyone is tapped for time, including me.
Chasing people down with changed email addresses and cell phone numbers is difficult, and the stress of finding the right words for the speech can be tremendous. So, you may ask, Why work so hard to find them? Its their loss if they dont reply. Its only a speech. Its because I am committed to doing my part to positively influence my brothers experience as we approach a pivotal moment in his life. This attitude is why I chose to work for Sears and why I shop at Sears. Their commitment to customer service is similar. This is why Sears emails, blogs, uses social media and sends pre-printed advertisements to our homes. Sears want us all to come to the party because were all important.
