How to Write an Effective Complaint Letter
Introduction
Have you been double-charged on your credit card? Did poor service at a restaurant ruin your special evening? Were the flowers you ordered delivered to the wrong address? It’s time to write a complaint letter that resolves the issue to your satisfaction.
Key Steps
Start Positively
Begin your letter with a positive note and get straight to the point. For example, the flower shop doesn’t need to know it was your grandmother’s 90th birthday, but they should know you’ve been a customer for five years. This shows your intent to continue doing business with them.
Be Concise
Share your story clearly and briefly. Instead of mentioning you were hosting a business dinner, simply state it was an important occasion. Specify what went wrong?"was the food cold, or did the appetizers arrive after the main course? A touch of humor can help, showing it was significant to you even if not brain surgery.
Avoid Threats
Threatening to never shop there again or to call the Better Business Bureau may make you seem unreasonable. Respectful communication often leads to respectful responses.
Specify the Impact
Detail how the mistake affected you?"be it time, money, or embarrassment?"and clearly state what you desire as a resolution, like a refund or a gift certificate. Keep your requests reasonable; a free bottle of wine on your next visit is more plausible than unlimited free meals.
Provide Supporting Documents
Include copies of receipts, correspondence, or contracts with your letter. If a caterer failed to deliver the desserts you ordered, having the agreement handy strengthens your case.
Acknowledge Resolution
Once the issue is resolved, thank the business. Share positive feedback with others to highlight their excellent customer service. For example, if a florist personally delivered fresh flowers to the hospital, let people know.
Conclusion
Remember, the aim is to maintain a positive relationship with the business. How you communicate about the issue is as crucial as how they resolve it. This approach ensures a win-win outcome for both parties.
