One core value at StickerGiant is great customer service. Thanks to Zingerman’s and their dead simple Zing Train system, we have a terrific recipe to follow.
For those that have not heard of the Zingerman’s Community of Businesses (ZCoB), this group is a family of eight businesses located in the Ann Arbor area created by Zingerman’s Deli founders Paul Saginaw and Ari Weinzweig.
ZingTrain is their consulting company specializing in training, service, merchandising, specialty foods and staff management. We’ve applied Zingerman’s “3 Steps to Great Service,” which is the secret sauce that we spread on each phone call we take, each package we send out the door and each email we receive in our inbox.
Zingerman’s 3 Steps to Great Customer Service:
Step 1. Figure out what the customer wants.
Step 2. Get it for them: accurately, politely and enthusiastically.
Step 3. Go the extra mile.
These easy-to-follow standards set the table for our high level of service, whether it’s internal or external interactions. Internally, we aim to be top-notch co-workers for our fellow Team members. Externally, we strive to be world-class customer service providers by implementing Zingerman’s 3 Steps, everyday. It makes StickerGiant a better place to work as a group, and it helps StickerGiant grow as a company each time we go the extra mile for our customers.

It might seem simplistic, but service drives us each and every day. Every sticker has a story, and we want to empower our customers as great storytellers by helping them through the process. Because when we hear stories from happy customers about how we assisted them, it always translates into return business and positive word-of-mouth.
What does it mean to go the extra mile? Our staff are empowered to delight customers. Sometimes that means a shipping upgrade, others it's a blog about a customer we adore.
This week we decided to go above and beyond in the literal sense. Check out this super sweet video of the StickerGiant Quadcopter hovering above our world headquarters in rural Hygiene, Colorado, where our customer service has an altitude adjustment.
