Ep. 56 Using Hand Written Notes to Connect with Customers Emotionally
What if the simplest marketing tactic is also the most powerful?
In this episode, host Danan Coleman sits down with David Wachs, Founder & CEO of Handwrytten, to unpack why handwritten notes are becoming one of the highest-ROI tools for customer loyalty, retention, and reviews in eCommerce.
David shares how brands can stand out in a world flooded with emails, texts, and ads — and why customers crave appreciation more than discounts. From Amazon inserts to fully automated Shopify workflows, this conversation breaks down how emotional connection drives repeat purchases, better reviews, and long-term brand loyalty.
If you’re looking for a way to cut through the noise without racing to the bottom on discounts, this episode is a must-watch!
