7. Customer Service Communications Dear Dreft, It was great to receive a sample of your product in the hospital when I had my first baby a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, the coupon with it expired 9-30-04. I know the coupon is not good. Is the sample still safe to use? The hospital was (name of hospital and location). Thank you, Sallie 7

Please be assured I’m sharing your comments with the rest of our team. Thanks again for writing. P&G Team Customer Service Communications 8

9. Dear Dreft/Proctor and Gamble, Thank you very much for your automated, prewritten reply that had absolutely nothing to do with my question. It certainly makes me feel like your company cares about its consumers when you take the time to send me an irrelevant answer to my question when I have taken the time to visit your website, find out how to contact you, write a letter and then read a reply. You can be sure I will share this experience with the 2,500 women who visit my blog each week. Sincerely, Sallie Customer Service Communications 9
