For the most part answering email is quite enjoyable, but that is in big part because we have great customers. Not a day goes by without someone emailing us about how much they love our shop,staff or product. It would be a different story if I was in the complaint department of some large corporation! It also does help us to keep our pulse on what our customers are looking for, or what is the next hot spice.

There is something to be said about being the “go-to-person” for questions regarding your industry. Being the first person that people think of when they think “spices” is a position your should strive to maintain. Now that does not necessarily mean that has to be you but being a resource for people can be an essential marketing tool. Yes, they could just Google it but would you rather then Google it or think to email you? Just M2C

Comment on Alton Brown spends a day filming at The Spice House by Patty

Thanks Michael. We love Alton Brown. When he filmed here Chicago cable had not picked up the Food Network yet, if you can imagine that. Even though he was filming on our busiest day of the week, only one lady from out of town recognized him. Now, I think he gets a $100,000 speaker fee. So my fantasies that he will come back to the Spice House to do a booksigning are probably unfounded! I do keep trying.

Ok, I know this is an older post, but I love this! Good Eats is what brought me to The Spice House in the first place, it is the amazing quality that brings me back.

To be honest, if it takes you away from doing what you do best, i.e. the best herb and spices in the world, then I would say to delegate. Oh, I will have to say this though, one of those touches that will always get me to come back, is that on every packing slip, there has always been a handwritten thank you. Well, that on top of the best products out there
