Put simply, the OWC Difference is our commitment to making high-quality products, and more importantly, our commitment to customer service. While we will always strive to keep this philosophy in mind, there are other companies that might have a different way of valuing their customers.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier today, news website and social media blog Mashable <a href=\"http:\/\/mashable.com\/2013\/04\/17\/facebook-fan-value-researcher\/\">released a study<\/a> that estimates the dollar value that each Facebook fan is worth to a brand. This will naturally lead to debates on the accuracy of the claim, but it also can spur a conversation on humanizing customers vs. simply monetizing them.<\/p>\n<p>At OWC, we view social media outlets as a wonderful way to directly assist and connect with customers. But part of making the OWC Difference is continuing to passionately serve our customers and not simply assigning a dollar value to them based on whether they \u201clike\u201d us or if they\u2019re a Facebook fan.<\/p>\n<p>Our customers \u2013 from the biggest spenders to the one-time shoppers \u2013 will always be more than just a number. And we hope to give each the same committed service, <strong>no matter how big or small the order<\/strong>.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Below we\u2019ve listed some quotes from a few of our customers that we hope illustrate the pledge we make everyday to ensuring the experience with OWC is the best possible.
