Marketing Your Site

What's New ?

Step by Step

Each and every contact that we make with a customer makes an impression. It doesn't matter whether the contact is in person, via the phone or through our website. Our customers expect and deserve quality service. Personal service is or should be second nature for any business. Customer service delivered over the phone can be trickier but common courtesy and following through on customer questions solves most phone service problems.

But how do we deliver quality customer service via our website? First and foremost we must focus the content of our website towards answering questions our visitors may have. Second, we must be sure our customers can find our website. The use of a memorable  domain name insures that our customers will be able to remember the url to our website when they need it. Proper search engine optimization tactics help make sure that people can find our website when searched for.

 Third, and maybe most important is responsiveness. When a customer makes an inquiry through our website we must respond promptly and professionally. A delayed or less than professional response can leave an undesired impression.

If we approach our website with a step by step approach we can utilize it as a front line customer service tool.

Parking Grid

Can you imagine parking your electric car, plugging in to a parking meter and earning extra income by allowing the power company to store electricity in your car battery?

The idea comes from the fact that our vehicles are not used 90% of the time. The concept has been nicknamed V2G or vehicle to grid. The idea is that power companies would have millions of batteries at their disposal for storage so car owners could actually have a give and take relationship between their vehicle and electricity providers.

An article on LiveScience states that several small batteries may have advantages over a centralized storage facility. If you can get electricity to run some of your appliances from your neighbors electric vehicle their is an advantage since the electricity doesn't have to travel so far.

Both electric cars and hybrid vehicles could participate according to the article although hybrids have a smaller battery and would offer less storage.

 Free Office Suite

It is time to revisit the free open source office suite OpenOffice.org , it's recent version 3 challenges Microsoft Office when it comes to basic options and offers a few enhancements of it's own. Basic document compatibility with Office is it's biggest plus.

If you use more advanced features of Office such as Visual Basic macros in Excel or if you use it's relational database, Access; you may find switching isn't so easy. Open Office's Base relational database corresponds to Access but does not offer file compatibility with many features of Access databases.

There is no Outlook counterpart in the Open Office Suite but their website recommends the open source Mozilla Thunderbird email program with its Lightning plug-in for it's calendar capability.

Visit OpenOffice.org to find out more about this stellar open source office suite. A thorough comparison of the two suites should be undertaken to determine if Open Office offers the features you need and use.
