While I was making my research about amazing founders that are building great brands, I came across Ben Francis, Founder, and CEO of Gymshark.
Something interesting happened to him in 2015.
Gymshark suffered a website outage on Black Friday, resulting in customers not being able to get their deals. Whilst this might have broken many companies, Gymsharkโs founder ( Ben Francis ) personally hand-wrote 2500 apology letters to customers, including discounts, who werenโt able to purchase during the crash.
This singular act has endeared a lot of loyal customers to them.
Gymshark is not just a company, it's a Lifestyle.
As a Founder, What insane strategy have you used to connect with customers or users?
