Exceptional Customer Service – While we’re always interested in the latest hot spots and businesses who carry the greatest products, it’s the companies who give us fabulous and consistent service that we truly appreciate. Each year, Little Rock Soirée’s readers tell all with our Platinum Service Awards.
This past October, thousands of readers voted for businesses who provide the best service in 61 different categories, and we’ve tabulated the winners for your convenience. Throughout the year, we hope you’ll make mental notes of the companies who provide you with superior customer service and vote for them in October 2012.
