Blogging about Blogging?
Have you ever been to a Blog and the Blogger introduces the subject of blogging? Well it happens all the time. Once I was on a website which had a Blog and most of the topics were about writing and yet, a new topic popped up about Blog Etiquette and Blog Rules of Participation. Well indeed it got quite lively and then I stopped to think about the absurdity of it all and I had to

Pet Adoption Fundraising Ideas
If considering ways to help out not-for-profits in the community that do so much good for others consider being involved in fundraising. Agencies such as those who deal with the homeless, the elderly, helping at-risk youth, agencies that help disaster victims often run on a shoestring budget and are in need of financial support.Also, agencies that help a segment of the co

Here is a story of four traders who each started with a website built by us, retailing the same products Australia-wide from different cities. It's hard to compare businesses with different products in different markets, but these four businesses had all those factors in common.

Start-up:

Trader A started with a website and a spare room at home, and became so successful that he needed to open a shop.
Trader B (in another city) liked Trader A's website, so he also started with a website and a spare room at home, and became so successful that he also needed to open a shop.
Trader C bought Trader A's website, shop lease and business and employed someone to run it for him.
Trader D (in a third city) liked Trader C's website so started with a website and a spare room at home.

Current status:

Trader A, after a break, started a new website and a shop with the same products (but a different part of the city). He now has two retail stores plus he is starting a wholesale division.
Trader B is very successful and happy with one shop.
Trader C has closed down.
Trader D is still struggling.

Strategic Alliance Success Through Identifying the Predictable Pitfalls
Caveat Pars, partners beware! Partnering, as with any activity, has its unexpected challenges and pitfalls. Actually, this is probably more so than in traditional adversary relationships. In adversary relationships you must always watch your back. In relationships based on trust or what is perceived as trust, one can be lulled into a false sense of security. While you need to pr

Simply Hired Services Or Optimisation Of Resources- An Affiliates' Perspective
Affiliate Marketing is all about Optimisation of resources. It is much more than merely 'simply hired services.' When you have a website and you want to generate revenues by selling the idle web space, you optimise on the space; on the traffic to your site and of course on the resources. It is like having the cake and eating it too. An affiliate (also called publisher) is reward

Trader D is still struggling. So, four businesses starting with similar websites designed by us, with the same products, in the same market, in the same country, have four different results.

Observations:

Service: - Traders A and B are always available to give personal service and advice by phone or email on their products. They each told us that this was as well as their having full information on their websites and FAQ pages answering most questions. Trader C's employee was often out of the shop and left customer enquiries unanswered. Trader D was working elsewhere during the day, and relied on potential customers either placing orders on-line or leaving messages on an answering machine.

Range: - Traders A and B carried a full range of inventory. C advertised a full range but was often out of stock. D carried only a limited range.

Competition: - The same products were all stocked by large chain stores and other on-line traders, so the fact that Traders A and B prospered indicates that their personal service was able to attract customers away from the impersonal chain stores and other on-line traders.

In our own business of developing websites, even though large projects can and are carried out using email only, a number of clients have made contact with us by telephone in the early stages, even from 4,000 kilometres away. We have a lot of

Let’s face it, we all tend to get stuck in doing things ‘the way they’ve always been done’, and creating products, or services, in a similarly conservative mode. But there is another way. Why not take a new look at your business. Just one session could start off a new trend.
