Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000 Hour Expert Rule

By Adam  |  27 Aug 2015 08:00:00  |  Full article...

Practice makes perfect, they say, and if you're working on any endeavour you're going to have to put the time in. Journalist and author Malcolm Gladwell says that, for a person to become an expert at something, they need to spend 10,000 hours working on it. If that seems like a lot, you're right! It will take years to gain 10,000 hours' worth of experience and, actually, this ties in quite nicely with the internet's two year success rule (and you should read my earlier blog

Amazon Dash Buttons

By Adam  |  26 Aug 2015 19:00:00  |  Full article...

It seems that you need only keep your eyes on Amazon if you want to see new, unexpected developments in the world of eCommerce and just recently they've come up with something new which nobody expected; Dash Buttons. Obviously, that name alone means nothing to you, so I shall explain the concept: these are literally, physical buttons which you can buy (not things to click on a computer screen) and, when you press them, that's an automatic order. So you might buy a toilet paper dash

Once you've got your eCommerce business started, something which you should always be doing is thinking of ways to reach new people and to increase the number of customers that you have.

Facebook's Response Rate System

By Adam  |  26 Aug 2015 08:00:00  |  Full article...

A new feature that has been popping up on Facebook business pages over the last few months is the 'Response Rate' ranking. This is directly tied to the way that you use that page to interact with other people; if, for example, a customer sent in a question and you sent them a reply instantly, it would list you as getting back to people within a few minutes 100% of the time. This new addition is both good and bad and I'm going to go over its strengths and weaknesses in this blog

Though the world may be moving ever onward into a more and more technological age, it is an unavoidable fact that not everybody is knowledgeable about computers. A lot of people are quite down on themselves for not being good with computers and consider it a sign of unintelligence, but that's just not true at all. Sellr was designed to accommodate everybody; computer geniuses and the technologically illiterate alike! So if you'd thought about starting a business on the internet, but

Create a Mascot For Your Business

By Adam  |  25 Aug 2015 08:00:00  |  Full article...

One thing you might like to do for marketing purposes is to create a mascot for your business. A mascot is a good way to keep your business in the minds of your customers because, if you've got a unique and memorable character popping up around your website, customers are likely to remember it and therefore you. Of course, not every business will be well suited to having a mascot and you need to consider whether it would be appropriate; do you sell funeral wear? Well, if so, people

What is Click & Collect Shopping?

By Adam  |  24 Aug 2015 19:00:00  |  Full article...

By Adam  |  24 Aug 2015 08:00:00  |  Full article...

No matter what you do for marketing, one big way that people will get an impression of your business is through your interactions with customers. Whether somebody was a customer themselves, or has merely come into contact with another customer's thoughts on the matter, your customer service is going to be something that reflects your business.
