About this episode
Anna Esrov discusses how Boll & Branch leverages hospitality and customer feedback to enhance loyalty and experience.
Boll & Branch has built its competitive advantage on something many brands overlook: hospitality. In this conversation, Anna Esrov, VP of Customer Experience & Loyalty, shares how the luxury organic bedding brand turns listening into action, from real-time customer feedback that shapes product development to in-home “Room Service” styling that brings five-star hotel energy directly to customers. We explore how surprise and delight becomes part of the culture, how in-house service teams drive retention, and how AI is used to create efficiency without losing the human touch. This is a masterclass in building loyalty through experience, not just product.
