What Ever Happened To Quality?
In his essay, "Quality", written in 1911, the great writer, John Galsworthy, recounts the tale of two brothers. Shoemakers with their own shop somewhere near the end of the 19th century, they exemplify the issue of quality in Mr. Galsworthy's mind. They knew each customer. They made patterns of the customers' feet, cut the shoes to fit, had the customer try the shoes, and then adjusted the shoes as necessary to each customer's satisfaction, offering to take the cost off the bill if the shoes or boots were not acceptable.In time, faster, cheaper, and more efficient ways were found to make shoes and boots, and the little shopkeeper was, at the last, forced into barely being able to survive. Until the last, he insisted on making only the finest quality product, even as his customers deserted him for the cheaper

Customer Lifetime Value for Value-Based Servicing, a Realistic Analysis
In order to serve their Customers according to their value (apply value-based-servicing), Businesses try to assess the value of each Customer. One approach to assess Customer value is by estimating the Customer Lifetime Value (hereafter CLV).A strict approach to the definition of CLV (or LTV) is the net present value of future cash inflows and outflows or profits (based on the principles of financial management), related to a specific Customer. An important factor affecting the CLV is the retention rate (or alternatively the Customer lifecycle termination probability).Theoretically speaking, a comprehensive assessment of customer value should comprise all different aspects of a customer’s contribution to the Business’s success (e.g. referrals to other Customers, cross selling potential).A number of

Marketing Hesitation Costs Dearly
Timing is everything. Hate to be late? The early bird gets the worm.Hesitation, when it comes to marketing, can mean the difference between making a sale and walking away empty handed.

Have Something Good To Say
If you don't get this right, you can just forget about everything else...your advertising will fail miserably if you don't have something good to say. The great business philosopher Jim Rohn probably summed it up best in his lecture about communications. He was talking about personal communications, not about advertising, but I think the principle holds true. He says to be a master communicator, all you've got to do is follow this three-step process: First, have something good to say. Second, say it well. And third, say it often.In terms of advertising, here's what that means: Having something good to say means that you've innovated your business sufficiently so that you've got something of value to the marketplace that's worth advertising in the first place. Saying it well has to do with taking what you well and
