Elect Your Scent !

Well, it's election time again and we're all thinking about who to vote for, and deciding "Yes"on this question and "No" on that proposition. Help me keep the election excitement at a fever pitch as we approach the holiday season as well.
Look what I found on the Yankee web site

Please vote for your favorite holiday scent like I did!
My vote was for one of my all time favorites, Christmas Cookie... Which scent will you choose?

I can't wait to see the results!

Until next time.....

Did You Hear ?

If you've ever seen The Sound of Music which debuted back in 1965 and love the music as much as I do, and the name VonTrapp means anything to you, I have good news!
I heard the great grandchildren of the famous Von Trapp family singers are performing at the Yankee Candle store in South Deerfield.
It's this weekend, Saturday, November 1 and Sunday, November 2. They're performing twice each day at 1:00 and 4:00pm.
The concert is free but arrive early if possible.
I saw them perform last year and it was standing room only!
There was a woman in front of me with a little girl about 5 years old and she was singing one of the songs from the movie. Hearing her sing with such joy brought the same joy to me. As a senior member of the customer loyalty team, I couldn't help but offer my seat to her. Taking care of our customers is what we do best!

I hope to see you there!

Until next time...

Working for Yankee Candle Customer Loyalty Team

Ever wonder what makes us such wonderful people?

It is all of our special guests! When we smile, our guests smile. When we laugh, our guests laugh.

Just the other day, we found 5 kudos floating through from completely satisfied and happy guests. We thrive on making our guests experience such a welcoming, cozy, at home feeling, even through the phone! If we sense that a guest is not happy, we are not happy.

For example, I got a call from a guest in Canada looking for our Scentstories® disks. She was very disappointed that she couldn't find them in her area. I sent her a catalog and explained all of the great fragrances. I told her my favorite story about the disks.

I had a coworker who owned one prior to us taking over the disks. She said the first time that she used our disks with our fragrances, her neighbor came running over asking her what she was baking since it smelled so yummy!

That is just a taste of stories that our guests hear when they talk with us.
