We’re excited to share that Stahla Services was recently featured on Enterprise Radio where our Co-owner, Erin Stahla, discussed the critical difference between having a beautiful logo and delivering an exceptional brand experience. During this insightful conversation with host Eric Dye, Erin emphasized how companies often focus on visual elements while missing the fundamental truth that your brand is defined by every interaction your customers have with your business. This principle drives everything we do at Stahla Services, from our restroom trailers to our commitment to answering every customer call.
What We Discussed: Beyond the Logo
Erin shared a powerful analogy during the podcast that perfectly captures this concept. She described how even a company like Chick-fil-A, with their exceptional marketing and beautiful branding, would lose customer loyalty if they consistently delivered soggy sandwiches and cold fries. The logo becomes irrelevant when the actual service fails to meet expectations. This principle is why we focus relentlessly on operational excellence rather than just visual appeal.
The conversation revealed how many businesses today hide behind social media presence and online facades while failing to deliver on their core promises. As Erin explained, “The customer doesn’t necessarily experience just your social media, they want to know that your product works, that your service is going to deliver.” This insight shapes our approach to every ADA restroom trailer delivery and customer interaction.
Real-World Impact: Small Details, Big Impressions
One of the most compelling parts of the discussion focused on how small operational details create huge brand impressions. Erin shared our commitment to something as simple as picking up the phone when customers call. This might seem basic, but it represents a fundamental miss in many companies’ customer experience strategies.
When customers need something, we want to be there for them. We listen to what they’re actually saying, figure out the issue, and solve it as quickly as possible. This operational detail creates lasting impressions that no amount of beautiful design can replicate. Whether someone needs information about our shower trailers or has an urgent question about their rental, availability and responsiveness define our brand more than any logo ever could.
Understanding the Investment: Training and Systems
The podcast highlighted two critical investments every business can make without spending money on design. First, ensuring your sales team understands that customer experience matters on a personal level. At Stahla Services, we consistently reinforce that the customer matters, creating a universal language around caring that permeates every department.
Second, making sure your operations team understands how to handle different scenarios they encounter in the field. If your team doesn’t feel equipped to handle situations, customers quickly notice. They understand that you can’t follow through on your promises, which puts your entire team in a compromising position. This is why our training ensures every team member can deliver exceptional service whether they’re setting up a 2-stall restroom trailer or troubleshooting an issue.
The Product Experience: What Customers Would Miss
When asked what customers would miss most if our services disappeared tomorrow, Erin’s response revealed the heart of our brand promise. Our trailers arrive 100% ready to go. When issues arise—and they can because we’re all human—we have troubleshooting protocols ready and send people out to fix problems as quickly as possible.
This commitment to delivering an awesome trailer is fundamental to who we are. We could present ourselves as having a beautiful business, but if we delivered trailers that don’t work, that facade wouldn’t stand up for long. Our customers would miss our actual product because we genuinely care about quality. Whether it’s a premium 3-stall ADA restroom trailer for a corporate event or a decontamination trailer for emergency response, the product experience defines our brand.
Avoiding Common Brand Pitfalls
The conversation addressed where companies often miss the mark when trying to create a brand. Too many businesses lean heavily into social media presence while neglecting the fundamental customer experience. While online presence plays an important role in today’s business world, it cannot substitute for proving to customers at every level that you care about them and will do what you say you’re going to do.
This insight reinforces why we focus on operational excellence rather than just digital marketing. Every interaction, from the initial quote process through trailer delivery and setup, must demonstrate our commitment to customer care. The brand experience extends far beyond your logo or social media accounts.
As we’ve shared before, Grant and Erin Stahla are driven by a mission that goes beyond business. They are passionate about redefining portable sanitation through a company built on caring for people, delivering service excellence, and leading with faith. This includes their dedicated support of organizations like Love Justice International. This core commitment to integrity and service is woven into every interaction at Stahla Services.
We are deeply grateful to Eric Dye and the Enterprise Radio team for providing a platform to discuss these important principles. As Erin emphasized during the interview, “You have to prove to the customer every single level that you care about them. You’re going to do what you say, you do what you say you’re going to do.” This philosophy drives everything we do, from answering your first phone call to ensuring your combo trailer rental exceeds expectations.
