Be different. Make them smile.
Most (if not all) companies miss this piece. All it takes is serving up a dose of fun, a personal experience and inspiration (Top brands like Coca Cola understand this. Their tagline: Open Happiness) to help your business stand out from the competition and get your customers inspired enough to rave about you!

Here’s a quick list they featured on ways to stand out - for all their great tips, read the full article on Word of Mouth here:
1. Your invoices: What if you could make people smile when they opened your bills?
2. Your pricing: Incredibly expensive stuff can get people talking, and low prices can too. But there is a ton of room for creativity here. You could price things at real-time market values - here’s a few ideas on Word of Mouth’s site.
3. Your policies: One of the most legendary policies in the world is how Zappos will take your shoes back a year after you purchased them, no questions asked.
4. Your legalese: With a little collaboration (with your lawyer) and common sense you can transform your crusty legalese into something people actually read and share.
5. Your user guides: Make it simple, helpful, add some humor.
6. Your packaging: You could personalize your plain packages with a little hand-written thank you. Maybe there’s an opportunity to put something unexpected in the box itself.
7. Your business cards: Some might call the business card old-school, but they’re still so widely used that they’re a great chance to make a remarkable impression on the people you meet. When you’re done improving your business cards, take a look at your letterhead, fax cover sheets, email signatures, reception area, and the way you answer your phone.
