How a $120 purchase gained hundreds of thousands of dollars of goodwill.

One way is for founders and smaller customer experience teams to take 30 minutes a day to authentically engage with their buyers and community.
On Linkedin this week, an Allbirds customer posted how they ordered a pair of $120 shoes – take a peek here.

Allbirds steps up and allows the customer to return shoes.
The story goes viral.
Allbirds earned media value is likely in the hundreds of thousands of dollars from this viral post.
