How to Keep your Customers Coming Back
The trouble with some people is, they assume that their clients are all boring, dull and have no sense of humor. Isn't it strange how most companies seem to have a charisma bypass when it comes to communicating with their clients. Which would you rather have, A client? Or, a friend who is also a client? A friend of course. Well, to have more friends in your business, you must do more friendly things.Actually, it's all about the human touch. Something that's often missing in our business dealings today. Your clients are all human beings who hav

What Are Bar Codes?
Bar codes are a series of vertical bars of different width, in which digits from zero to nine are represented in a dissimilar pattern of bars forming a code that can be read only by a laser scanner. It is representation of machine-readable information on a visual surface. These codes are found on consumer products and are specially used for inventory control.There are different types of bar codes such as one-dimensional bar codes, which use the width of the bar code to encode just a product or account number. The second type of bar codes includes Data

RSS or 'Really Simple Syndication' is not just for Blogs and News sites. Every website can benefit from this newly popular technology. The term 'syndication' is what throws a lot of people off the track. Syndication is like news articles, isn't it?

Well it can be. But think of it like this. If you had a bricks-and-mortar store and decided to carry a new product line, how would you let people know? You could advertise of course, but a better and free alternative is to send a news release to the local paper. Their business section may carry your announcement free of charge.

Now back to our cyber-store in virtual space. If you add a new web page, or make substantial changes to existing pages, how do you let your customers (both former and future) know? You can email your former customers, but spam blocking software will prevent half of them from getting your message. And keeping track of mailing lists, unsubscribe requests and address changes is nothing short of a nightmare.

Instead, post a news release using RSS. Interested customers will have their newsreader programs watching for your announcements, and will get the news as soon as you send it out. The announcement will include a link to the new or changed page, and your customer can click on it if they are interested. True, fewer will click through than might read an email from you -- but those who do will arrive at your site in a much more receptive frame of mind. And those email readers still need to click through to your site to see your new page anyhow.

If you make frequent additions or changes to your site you should have your own RSS feed. Check out these sites to learn how to make your own feed:

The Most Misused Tool in Meetings
Lisa came to the meeting ready to participate. She had some specific ideas that she wanted to share – ideas that she thought would help the team move forward on the problem they were discussing. The meeting got off to a good start and everyone was involved in the discussion. At what seemed like the appropriate time, Lisa shared her idea.People didn’t seem as enthused about it as she thought they might. So she talked a bit more about it, hoping they would understand. Some other people didn’t think her idea was quite on track with the discussion, bu

Why Cost Reduction Efforts Fail
Every business is trying to improve profitability, after all this is why the business exists. To achieve this goal there are only two paths that can be taken – increase revenue or reduce costs. The path of increasing revenue is typically seen as the most positive step. It is exciting, involves expansion and creates opportunities. Conversely, reducing costs is seen as negative and backward and so this approach often gets much less attention that it deserves.The problem with continuous improvement is that it can be really hard work. But, just like its g

But what if you don't often make changes or additions to your site? There is a new site that offers a solution to that problem. Shared RSS provides feed by TOPIC rather than publisher. So you simply post your message in the appropriate topic category (there are thousands to choose from) and share your feed with others publishing on the same topic. It is a free service that you certainly should use if you do not publish your own feed.

http://www.sharedrss.com/

Wouldn't that mean (I can hear someone object) that I would be sharing a feed with my competition? Well yes, but that isn't a bad thing. It's like all those antique stores that congregate in the same part of town -- shoppers flock there and wander store to store, to the benefit of all.

Don't kid yourself, customers already know about your competition. For every customer of yours who visits their sites because they found an RSS link on your site, you will receive one, two or three visits from potential customers who found your information on an RSS link they discovered on your competitors site, or in a catalog of RSS feeds. The benefit far outweighs the risk.

And RSS feeds are not just for business. If other sites submit to the shared feed they will bring with them more people interested in that topic, who may become your future customers.

No, RSS is not just for Blogs anymore! Start your own or submit to a shared feed, either way you can only benefit.
