It all started with me spotting a delicious-looking Facebook post by Falafel’s showcasing one of their menu items, which I commented on.
I received no reply and it slipped out of my mind in a while. 3 hours later, a Falafel’s representative hops in with a sweet note and the appetizing gift nicely wrapped!
Why am I a delighted customer?
- It was just an innocent comment and yet they dropped by my office with a gift in a matter of 3 hours.
- They don’t provide delivery services yet they went out of the way this time. As a result, I got to try the amazing banana + chocolate + nuts combination and will always opt for Falafel’s if I’m in the area. Might not have done the same even if they had replied with a warm comment.
Love to Falafel’s and some more.

I didn’t because they don’t deliver and I don’t frequent the places where they have their outlets. However, the blog post I wrote got them decent business 🙂 https://www.socialsamosa.com/2013/09/social-media-case-study-falafels-use-social-media-delight-fan/
