E-business success - top tips



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.

Surprising Health Benefits of Love

"I need somebody to love," sang the Beatles, and they got it right. Love and health are intertwined in surprising ways. Humans are wired for connection, and when we cultivate good relationships, the rewards are immense. But we're not necessarily talking about spine-tingling romance. "There's no evidence that the intense, passionate stage of a new romance is beneficial to health," says Harry Reis, PhD, co-editor of the Encyclopedia of Human Relationships. "People who fall in love say it feels wonderful and agonizing at the same time." All those ups and downs can be a source of stress . It takes a calmer, more stable form of love to yield clear health benefits. "There is very nice evidence that people who participate in satisfying, long-term relationships fare better on a whole variety of health measures," Reis tells WebMD. Most of the research in this area centers on marriage, but Reis believes many of the perks extend ...
