What’s WOW and SHIT?

What’s WOW?

A product, service or design that makes you go ‘wow!’ It’s the difference between good and great, between customer satisfaction and customer delight!

DHL’s promise for its 24-hour hotline: “Speak to a human within three rings, every time.” And they deliver on the promise, every time. That’s WOW!

What’s SHIT?

The exact opposite. A product that doesn’t work; service that stinks; a design that sucks! A sales rep that shows up late; delayed delivery; ‘batteries not included’. That’s SHIT!

This blog is a place to share real life WOW and SHIT stories. Of restaurants, hotels, airlines, airports, immigration. Of products good and great. Of exceptionally fantastic and terribly bad service. Everyone has WOW and SHIT experiences – send yours to me.

    It’s interesting to see how people have such different ranges of customer experience across different ranges of products. This is a pretty good idea.

    I bought a dust remover for some blinds once. It said it removed 100% of dust and it had a super grip and had this really amazing fabric. I spent $12 on this thing and it just spread the dust, it didn’t lift it at all. In the end I got mad, tossed it in the bin and used a cloth and water that cost $2 at the supermarket. As we say in Australia; “Dodgy”. Pronounced “Dodgee”. It means sly, disreputable and unworthy like a used car salesman.

    G’day Amy! Thanks for your post. I’d like to put it up on the main site under ‘shit products’ if you could provide the brand name.
    And do you think all used car salesmen are dodgy?

    Undoubtedly the two most repeated words in the entire English Language and you turned it into a blog! Kudos! My recent experiences are meandering somewhere between ‘wow’ n ‘shit’; but the minute i hit any one extreme, I’ll know what to do about it….TELL THE WHOLE WORLD!
