A Nigerian fashion entrepreneur has captured hearts online after sharing the extraordinary feedback she received from a satisfied customer. The tailor, who operates under the business name Della Clothiers, delivered a custom-made dress to her client within an impressive 24-hour timeframe.
The Unexpected Voice Note That Went Viral
What happened next surprised the small business owner. Instead of a simple text message, the customer sent an emotional voice note expressing her overwhelming satisfaction with the outfit. The tailor shared this audio message on her TikTok account @della_clothiers, where it quickly gained traction among social media users.
In the now-viral recording, the ecstatic customer revealed that she wore the custom dress to a special event and became the center of attention throughout the occasion. She explained that numerous guests couldn't stop looking at her because the outfit made her appear exceptionally beautiful.
Customer's Event Experience and Monetary Recognition
The customer's experience went beyond mere compliments. She reported that attendees were so impressed with her appearance that they spontaneously began spraying her with money - a Nigerian cultural practice where people shower individuals with cash during celebrations to show appreciation.
The tailor captioned her social media post with honest reaction: "I made an outfit for a client in less than 24hrs and the next thing I got was a vn. My eye first blur." This expression perfectly captures the initial anxiety many business owners feel when receiving voice notes from customers, followed by relief and joy upon hearing positive feedback.
Social Media Reactions to the Heartwarming Exchange
The post sparked numerous reactions from fellow business owners and social media users who related to the experience. @Affordable Randoms commented: "Not just tailors oo? as a business person, seeing a vn especially after I have delivered ehhnn, my mind will be going crazy wondering what could have gone wrong during the delivery."
Other users shared their own approaches to handling customer voice notes. @Chibaby admitted: "I go first off my read receipt, then play the voice note," while @Vivianchizzy@01 said: "Me I go first block you, view am then think of what to say then unblock and reply."
@Alice humorously pleaded: "Thanks for making my baby go viral.. please don't make her increase her price oo as Una don make her go viral," showing concern that the newfound popularity might lead to price increases.
