𝐂𝐗 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞: "𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭" 🌧️ Imagine checking off a bucket-list dream—hiking in one of the most beautiful places on Earth—only to trudge along for miles in rain-soaked gear sold as “waterproof.” That’s exactly what happened to hiker Jenn Jensen, who shared her soggy misfortune on TikTok during a trek in New Zealand. Armed with what she thought was a trusty rain jacket from The North Face, she found herself soaked to the bone—and with a bone to pick. In a video now viewed more than 1.6 million times, Jenn humorously vented her frustrations about the jacket as she shared the stunning, yet waterlogged, views of the landscape around her. Directing her commentary to The North Face, she states, “Listen, I don’t want a refund. I want you to redesign this raincoat to make it waterproof and express deliver it up to me on the top of Hooker Valley Lake, where I will be waiting. I’ll be the only one up here looking like a drowned rat.” Viewers commented on the video, some sharing similar experiences with the outdoor brand. One competitor got in on the action, cheekily telling Jenn, “We got you bestie!” The North Face took Jenn’s dampened experience to heart. The company responded to her video, not with the standard “We’re sorry to hear you’re disappointed.” Instead, they made a recommendation. “On rainy days, we wear GORE-TEX (and you will too—check your DMs). According to the company’s website, humid and warm weather combined with sweat may have wearers feeling wet on the inside of a jacket even though the waterproof outer layer is fully functioning. The North Face then pulled a product more suited for Jenn’s hiking adventure and flew it to her at the top of Mount Cook—not via express mail but by helicopter. Jenn once again took to social media to share her experience, this one with nothing but sunshine and 100% satisfaction. Key Takeaways for CX Pros: 👂 Social listening is crucial. Brands must stay tuned in to what customers say on social platforms. Jenn’s viral post sparked a broad conversation full of valuable feedback for the company about its products. 💡 Consumer education can improve CX. The North Face’s recommendation of a different product shows that sometimes customer dissatisfaction stems from a lack of information. Brands should prioritize education as part of the CX journey. 🛠 Effective problem resolution builds loyalty. Research shows about 83% of customers feel more loyal to a brand when it resolves issues effectively. The North Face turned a negative into a positive by addressing Jenn’s issue with real solutions. Companies earn loyalty by fixing problems thoroughly and thoughtfully. Keeping customer experiences from getting waterlogged is simple: listen, respond, and deliver on promises. The North Face made sure this brand experience didn't end on a soggy note. 💧 #CXStoryTime #CX #CustomerExperience https://dai.ly/x8q40ap
