E-business success - top tips

By


To make your online business a success, some things can make all the difference. We know what works for our successful internet business customers - here's what they've told us:
  • Plan: care at the planning stage - such as carrying out basic market research - makes your success more likely later on.
  • Get your website found: lots of new online businesses don't think about how potential customers are going to find their website. It's not rocket science, but you need to know where to start.
  • Tackle fraud: if cardholders have their card details used at your web shop without their permission, you will be responsible for refunding them - plus if you've already shipped the goods to a fraudster, you'll loose the value of these too. As a result, you have to protect your internet business from fraud.
  • Look after your e-customers: when you aren't face to face with your customers, the customer experience is even more crucial. Internet businesses really need to communicate with their customers and be realistic about delivery time-scales.
  • Website usability and content: if they can't find what they're looking for, they won't hang around. First impressions are vital on the internet too, and keeping your content fresh and accurate will encourage customers to return.

One woman said she stayed in her relationship just because of a Tempur-Pedic mattress. Do you belong to a country club? Do you own a second home in another state that would no longer be yours if you left the relationship? All of this stuff can tempt you to stay in the relationship even if you know it should be over. Is your happily-ever-after starting to look a little dim?    When is it time to move on? It's important to real...

The Key to Happy Relationships? It’s Not All About Communication

By
If couples were paying any attention during the past few decades, they should be able to recite the one critical ingredient for a healthy relationship — communication. But the latest study shows that other skills may be almost as important for keeping couples happy. While expressing your needs and feelings in a positive way to your significant other is a good foundation for resolving conflicts and building a healthy relationship, these skills may not be as strong a predictor of couples’ happiness as experts once thought. In an Internet-based study involving 2,201 participants referred by couples counselors, scientists decided to test, head to head, seven “relationship competencies” that previous researchers and marital therapists found to be important in promoting happiness in romantic relationships. The idea was to rank the skills in order of importance to start building data on which aspects of relationships are most important to keeping them healthy. In addition to ...
