Aldo Sends Free Pair Of Shoes After Dog Eats One

Reader Dan was hoping Aldo would sell him just one shoe after his roommate's dog ate one, but they ended up sending him a whole new pair for free. Regular customer service told Dan that they don't sell shoes in singles but after sending his note to the folks at the top of Aldo, his story starting making the rounds internally and they shined down on him with rays of benevolence.

Dan writes: About 2 weeks back I awoke and found the remains of of half eaten shoe laying on my couch along side one guilty looking puppy. My roommates dog has always had a thing for taking the soles out of my shoes which had never been an issue except apparently she wasn't able to easily extract it from my newest pair of Aldos without first performing some surgery on the shoe, leaving it in shambles.

I had only had the shoes for 2 months and really liked them so I thought I'd at least make an attempt to cut some costs by seeing if the company would be willing to sell me a single shoe. I reached out to their CS department via email and quickly received a standard "we apologize but we cannot help you in this situation" type of letter.

Being a longtime reader of your site, I knew it was worth a shot to reach out to exectuives. I did a quick google search (tip for others, if you do a google search for "site:linkedin.com "company name"", you can easily find names an job titles of executives for most companies). Some further searching lead me to the emails of two of the executive VPs, Norman and David. I sent them both the following email:

"Hello ,my name is Daniel and I have been a long time user of your products. In fact I believe my last 4 shoe purchases have been from your store for both work, dress, and casual shoes. I've always enjoyed both the comfort and durability of your product. Unfortunately, my roommate's dog recently decided to put the durability aspect to the test.

What I am left with is one perfectly fine size 44 Broxterman (Black Miscellaneous), and one new chew toy for the dog (the right shoe was the one that did not survive). I was wondering if there is any way for me to purchase a replacement shoe for the set? The pair was about 2 months old and I would definitely be willing to pay for the replacement shoe if necessary. My hope is to not have to pay for an entire pair.

I appreciate any help you can offer me in regards to this, and I will definitely continue to do business with your company either way."

The very same morning I sent the email to David, he reached out to via email and informed me that they had been sharing my email around the office and were going to send me a whole new pair of shoes for free because, "We all enjoyed reading it and felt that we'd be happy to help, if only to keep the good vibes going with your story.

How Groupon Killed Comfort One Shoes' Web Site (Temporarily ...

You’ve heard of Groupon and LivingSocial, two very popular email lists that deliver heavily discounted daily deals from local and national businesses.

Today, I got a Groupon worth $120 for $60 from a Comfort One Shoes that has several branches in the DC metro area where I live. That seems like a good deal, but I’ve never shopped at Comfort One Shoes so I wanted to check out their web site to see what kind of mens’ shoes they carry.

Turns out, so did a lot of others who got Groupon’s email. While Groupon has been busy selling the deal, Comfort One’s web site is showing its weakness. There are so many visitors attempting to access the site that it is practically not functioning. Pages are not loading and the site seems mostly stuck and unresponsive. It is almost like a denial of service attack but it is from interested customers. How unfortunate!  Comfort One Shoes is losing business right now because their site is hosted on servers that can’t handle the load.

When you launch your own campaigns to your lists or via services like Groupon and LivingSocial to bring in more business, make sure that your web hosting company is up to the task or you could end up turning away many would-be customers.  Questions to ask your webmasters or site hosting firm:

How much of a surge in traffic can our site handle without causing a slowdown? What needs to be done to increase our site’s capacity for a surge? Who will be on standby to monitor the traffic and make appropriate adjustments as necessary to accommodate the load?

Groupon did exactly what they advertised: delivered local customers via email marketing.  Comfort One Shoes, however, got caught with their shoes off.  They will still make a lot of sales, but probably fewer than they could have if their site was prepared for the surge in traffic.
