When you combine structured data with unstructured data, such as freeform replies to open-ended survey questions or comments on the Internet, you add another layer of depth that can give you a complete picture.

For instance, there’s the online florist who sent Valentine flowers on February 16, or the online dress boutique who sent a little black dress in a size 14 instead of the ordered size 4. If similar mistakes had been made while shopping at the local mall, it’s a pretty simple procedure just to go there and work out the details for an exchange or adjustment, but the online

There is a small Japanese restaurant in my area that used to have crowds upon crowds waiting outside its doors for the inexpensive, but most exquisite sushi and Japanese fare. If you asked any full-time resident, they would all say, “it’s the best sushi in Palm Beach County, and the price is right.&# Now there’s still a respectable crowd, but even on a busy Saturday night in this tropical paradise, no one lingers around the outside waiting for hours to sample the menu.

Good ones take it step further and focus on “service recovery,” making every attempt to retain a customer’s business after something has gone horribly wrong.
