The most important think of logos

August 5, 2008 · Filed Under Advertising, Business, Companies, marketing · Comment 

Logos are really about your “look”. Whether you know it or not, your firm already has this “look” .

Logos are extremely important assets to all companies, and BlueCat Networks is no exception.

How to use mass-marketing techniques ?

August 1, 2008 · Filed Under Business, Companies, marketing · Comment 

Marketing has always been about focusing on consumers. However, while marketing has previously only been able to use mass-marketing techniques to reach large groups of consumers, the current and evolving market scenario requires reaching individual consumers. Marketing and branding are, indeed, central to service firm growth. However, what you think you should be doing for marketing and branding, and what you really should be doing, may be quite different. Markets may change, but brands shouldn’t. They may be bent slightly, or given a new slant, but their essential characteristics should never be changed. Read more

Franchise is a method of doing business by licensing trademarks. A recurring royalty fee being the prime source of income, the advent of franchise business dates back to the 1850s. Franchises are sold by franchisors and bought by interested franchisees.

The customer service methods

July 20, 2008 · Filed Under Business, Companies, customers service · Comment 

Train your representatives to make customers feel important. If a customer makes a suggestion, the representative should note it and let the customer know they have noted it (see follow-up). Training can take place at open workshops or can be arranged in house. Open (public) training can be arranged at short notice, and is usually attended by individuals or small groups.

Real opportunities for customer service all too often happen when something goes wrong. For example, out of stocks, price checks, voids, refunds, returns, and exchanges are prime situations where a customer can be won or lost, depending on what the employee says and does while handling the transaction. Real customer service died quite a few years ago, and with each passing year of bad customer service, those who remember the look, feel, and sound of real customer service will not be around to describe it. So the downward spiral continues. Read more

Everything that comes in contact with customers — brochures, direct mail, Web sites, advertisements, presentations, e-mails, signs, exhibits, salespeople, etc. Advertisers in the space are still looking for a causal relationship between the advertising activity they are committing and revenue yielded as a result.
