LETTER FROM AARON MCARDLE
Welcome to our inaugural customer newsletter. It’s a privilege to be able to have this new way of communicating with you. I know you don’t have the time these days for fluff, so here’s the skinny: We want to keep you better informed.
So, why another newsletter for your inbox? Because top-notch customer service and experience sets us apart, and providing an avenue of relevant, ongoing communications is another way we can do just that – other than, of course, continuing to meet all your meeting room needs.
While all of us are navigating uncharted territory right now and living through unprecedented times, our commitment to you and your company’s success is as strong as ever. That has not changed and in fact, since we’re all living through a similar experience, perhaps it will feel as if we know each other a little better…
We hope this newsletter will keep you abreast of the latest happenings at RoomReady, which includes industry news, upcoming events and more. Expect to receive The RoomReady Review monthly in your inbox, and as always, your input is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Aaron McArdle
CEO, RoomReady
