		<description>Thanks for visiting Gayle. This post is about advertising - is that what you are planning on doing? If so, then most of the points above are still valid. However, you need to have a think about what is going to make people take time off work (if required), get off their bum, and come and see you. 
Even after they make up their mind that they need a skin check, why would they come to you? What are you offering that no-one else is?</description>

		<description>The advise you have given is helpful however it probably isn&#039;t applicable to all small business.  Take ours for example.  We are a medical service so offering something for free  would only devalue what we are doing.  In this field, if people receive something for nothing often it will attract those clients who don&#039;t want to pay for medical treatment (if required) anyway.  What would you suggest in this circumstance?  I understand your advise is a generalisation so expanding a little might be helpful.</description>

		<description>Great advice - in the age of online businesses, we sometimes forget the importance of old fasioned marketing. I&#039;m guilty of putting all my efforts into optimising my website for Google, while the post-it note &quot;send a press release to local paper&quot; is still stuck to the phone.

		<description>I think you&#039;ve given her plenty of chances. Assuming that everything is above board, it sounds like she doesn&#039;t understand how to operate with an online presence. That is, online purchases need to be straight-forward, reponses to emails should ideally be within 24 hours and there should be a working phone number. I agree with your overall opinion, that just because you&#039;re good at something doesn&#039;t mean you can run a business. After 4 years of running a business, I am now very slow to encourage someone to start a business until I find out &quot;where their head is&quot;. That is, by the things they are saying, do they have a realistic idea about what it takes to run a business and the sorts of tasks that need to be doen (and how much time those tasks take!). In your example above, I&#039;m not even certain an office manager would help because the business owner still needs to have a good grasp of some basic business concepts (like good customer service) to promote the business culture and understand her business&#039;s needs/direction/etc. A rudderless ship won&#039;t go far.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re absolutely right! Case in point: Facebook, a popular social media site, recently launched a site redesign with new features, which were negatively criticized by users. In fact, online petitions were forged to get the attention of Facebook administrators, who finally listened. In an article today, I learned that Facebook is going to revise their recent changes to make more user friendly. Facebook used the negative comments to make a positive situation. In the end, the users will be much happier and may stay with the site.

Same thing goes for other businesses, big or small.</description>

		<description>Hi Emma,

I love Notebook magazine and I too read this article with interest. It is extremely ironic to hear people talk about what they don&#039;t have and compare it to what they do have and this was made very clear to me when I lived in South America for a year. Although people were struggling to have food on the table and even a well built house, somehow they were able to have cable TV!

Last year when we were preparing for the floods in Mackay, I ensured that my pets and family were safe and that my photo collection was dry. Taking a step back and looking at all my possessions I realised that if by chance we were flooded and these were damaged, I would live. Material possessions can (generally) be replaced but life and old photos cannot.

Best wishes,
Kirsty</description>

		<description>Why is it so hard to get good customer service?
I have this conversation with my bored husband almost every other day because I am constantly fobbed off or ignored by potential suppliers. 
Surely the concept of treating each customer with respect, valuing their time &amp; replying promptly to their requests can&#039;t be that hard to grasp?</description>

		<description>Thanks Jackie. And thank you Emma for mentioning this post.

I know both of you pay attention to the little things too. You&#039;re right Emma, the people who don&#039;t focus on building relationships with their customers make it so much easier for those of us who do!</description>

		<description>Donna-marie,
I am totally in agreement. That is why I like working with you - you always reply and do what you say you will. It is really simple but so many seem not to get it.
Well done.

		<description>Great article!  Thank you for this inspiring article.  It seems that the internet&#039;s power to give the consumer too much choice for any one product has reduced everything to price.  The price game is a losing battle, but we are trapped in this thinking just by how we daily choose products and services also.  This article has some interesting insight, however, since most business owners who do not market to the affluent or market information products would probably need a follow up article on how this can be accomplished in their specific niches.</description>

		<description>Great insight here. I&#039;d add that many CRM platforms (salesforce.com, esalestrack.com, exacttarget.com) now have built in functionality that allows you to easily set up and automate these multi-email follow-up campaigns. Very powerful stuff when done right!

		<description>That&#039;s certainly one way to put it! I think my version may be a little bit more mild, but I certainly agree!

		<description>Hi Emma!
Your post made me laugh because I have a client who uses Joomla and I really don&#039;t like it! He was convinced by someone that Joomla was the way to go but I find it so limited and often very very frustrating. I dont put my hand up for other Joomla jobs either now! :)
Well done for persisting and then finding a solution for yourself. It&#039;s definately a talent of yours to get out there and make things happen!
Well done and take care
Rosie.</description>

		<description>Looks great Emma. My website is Wordpress too so I know how great it can be. There&#039;s something very empowering about being in control of your own content and not having to pay someone to change a full-stop in the wrong place.

I know nothing about Joomla, but have heard several people complaining about how it didn&#039;t work for their site.

The site is clean, concise and beautiful. Well done!

		<description>This is a great post - very comprehensive. I&#039;m really interested in email marketing particularly in the retail space and have been doing some analysis around what the big Australian supermarkets are doing - their strategies, their rules and their learnings. Here are a couple of post that I have written detailing the findings.

http://dominiquehind.wordpress.com/2008/09/19/what-when-retailers-send-emails-tesco-coles-aldi/
http://dominiquehind.wordpress.com/2008/09/09/coles-supermarket-great-email-communications-templates/

I have written another post to go live in the next couple of days on what the major US retailers are doing to ensure all subscribers can see the HTML version of the email.

I think this is a really interesting space and retailers really need to own it with the hardtimes that are coming. The one thing they need to invest more in is segmentation to truly ensure they understand the consumers and provide them with relevant information. 

I would be interested in your thoughts about my posts.</description>
