Starting a thread dedicated to a topic we're all likely to be devoting a lot of time to.
Shall we also try using the Tags feature within it? Then folks can use it as a filter to narrow posts to one or the other. #CancellationProcessing and/or #CancellationMessaging
I'm thinking brilliant strategies (or hacks) or a place for questions that have you stumped.
To start, it off...
1) Cancellation email notice with web form with options about which route customer wants, exchange/donation/credit/refund. Easy for them; head start for your team.
2) If you are tokenized/don't save credit cards, pointedly call out somewhere in that messaging that your organization will calling to request the credit card number in order to process the refund.
I would suggest that for those of you using forms to add a feedback section. Patrons have a lot of feelings around now including how they want to support you in the future. It's a wealth of info for days mining on sentiment and also a great way to personalise interactions in the future. That includes prospecting.
