    Email Fundraising Campaigns Must Inspire Donors to Go Online
    Sending an email with no links to follow is like mailing a direct mail appeal without enclosing a reply device or return envelope. Costly.Email fundraising only works when you inspire donors to go online. Online is where you get their donation. Online is where you secure their advocacy. Online is where you encourage their involvement. That’s why your email appeals, alerts and newsletters must give donors something to do, and must give them somewhere to go to do it. That place is your website. Websites alone might
    1. Price is Elastic.

    Believe it or not: Only a small percentage of buyers (of any product) base their buying decisions solely on getting the lowest price. If most did, we'd all be driving around in the cheapest cars on the market. Needless to say, we don't!

    How about the business owner (consultant) who raised the fee for his service from ? 220 to ? 2, 295 in one leap - and the same percentage of prospects continued to buy. They "stretched" with the price. If you had an identical product in three different price perceived retail locations (such as say Harrods, BHS and a Car Boot Sale), then you would see a marked difference in what people were prepared to pay for this identical product. Sometimes it's just a variation in the target market -i.e. as our price changes, our target market may change, which brings me onto...

    Your Company's Success Story: Two Questions Every Business Executive Needs to Answer
    Once upon a time in a busy metropolitan area, there existed a vinyl siding installation company. Six crews worked for this company, so the owner was always on the hunt for new employees—mostly young people.One day, the owner hired a teenager. The young man was very excited to have a job. On the first day the new employee trained side-by-side with the disgruntled crew supervisor, who did not feel it was his responsibility to teach trainees. On day two the young trainee was left to himself to figure things out. On the third day the owner inspected the trai

    After Christmas World Class Customer Service is Needed
    Every business makes promises to customers. Those promises are put to the test in a peak season. All businesses have peak seasons and have to make good on their promises. Tomorrow is the start of the peak season for customer service personnel who work in retail businesses. It is the “return” season, the time of year that requires real gumption, patience, and courtesy. Exchanges are needed, refunds are requested, lines are long, and tempers get short. Policies and people are stretched. It is also a season that is a huge opportunity if it is handled right.

    Yes, there is an Asda customer - probably in every category of retail sales. But there is also a Harrods customer. You can get a meal at Asda and you can get a meal at Harrods. You can sleep at a Travel Lodge or at a Hilton. In other words, there are many customers for whom price is low on their agenda for different services. It's up to you to pick your target market entry level.

    3. Business Owners that Compete on Price.

    If you can't be THE cheapest, there's no benefit in being almost the cheapest. Find another way to compete. Sell on Value not on Price.

    Consider a gourmet pizza take-away and delivery shop in America competing with 127 other pizza outlets - yes that's right 127! (we all have competition don't we?). They have the highest prices of all of them, they don't do deals (such as 2 for 1) - and
