JetBlue Goes Above & Beyond

JetBlue Goes Above & Beyond For Irma Evacuees 

Jetblue Flights Irma 300x203, The DiJulius Group

While many businesses have tried to capitalize on vulnerable and desperate consumers during Hurricane Irma’s mandatory evacuation, JetBlue took the opposite approach by capping ticket prices at $99. Other airlines have faced criticism as airfares surged ahead of Irma’s projected arrival over the weekend in South Florida. Fares out of Florida increased significantly last week, with many one-way domestic flights costing more than $1,000. JetBlue also waived cancellation fees, change fees and differences in air fare for passengers who had to rebook as a result of Irma. Many major airlines followed JebBlue’s lead and offered similar pricing.

Starbucks Face TimeStarbucks Facetime, The DiJulius Group

We’ve all had the experience of pulling up to a clunky speaker, shouting our order, and hearing a crackly, hard-to-understand voice on the other end. The feeling is often that the drive-thru employees are not very engaged and friendly. Starbucks has found a way to get rid of the pain of ordering at the drive-thru with an old fashioned face-to-face interaction in the form of a video screen. It’ll allow you and the barista to chat in full view of each other before you get to the window. You won’t have to wonder if she is smiling, you can see her smile. It’s about that customer-barista connection. There’s just a little bit more personal interaction in the drive-thru experience when you have the video screen. The chain is not only hoping it makes ordering a more engaging experience, but that it speeds up service as well.
