Every interaction with a customer or client should be consistent with your brand. Even what is often the final step in the sales cycle — invoicing.
Here’s a solid example of invoicing done right from the folks over at Feedburner (recommended):
* The invoice is clear, concise, and polite
* It breaks out charges clearly
* It prorated a partial month of service
* It provides the exact billing amount, the charge date, and the last four digits on the credit card
* It provides information on how to drop unwanted services
* It doesn’t market additional services
Polite and efficient — consistent with the entire Feedburner experience.
Good stuff.
