Serena Williams insists on connecting with customers
Voicing her opinion on this matter, Serena stated, “Yeah we want to be connected to our customers. We want to be able to have an opportunity where we see them together and we kind of mesh and make it work. For me, that feels most organic and that feels most real.”
Whenever a customer visits her store, she makes it a point to have a light chat and ask them about their well-being. She finds it more the reason to do this needful act, especially since the world is still recovering from the pandemic.

Important to have a chat with customers with everything that is going on
The 23-time Grand Slam winner added, “And we aren’t just about to buy, buy, buy, buy when you know things are happening in our environment with the pandemic going on, we just check in and see how are you feeling like it becomes more of a chat kind of a situation and more integrated and just let us know how you’re doing today or what made you happy this week. It’s really about engaging with our customers and we feel that’s super important as well.”
