Do you actually use your own product or service to see how well it works? I am constantly amazed at the number of products that are simply "unusable" for one reason or another.
For example, we purchased a large spill-proof water bowl to bring in the car when we take the dogs. For $30, it ought to work(!), and it does.
But...
It is nearly impossible to remove the lid for cleaning. It is very well made of heavy plastic Cheap Patrick Ewing Jersey , with a perfect 'snap' fit. Oh, the illustration shows that it CAN be removed but not HOW, so if there is some special trick to it, I have no way of knowing. I believe that it is not possible to remove the lid without hurting yourself or the plastic.
Don't these people use their own product????? If they did, they would know of this major shortcoming.
I am also reminded of a brush that my wife purchased for cleaning out the tubs that we use for the horses. They have little tiny handles which are actually loops molded into the plastic Cheap Robin Lopez Jersey , but who has hands that small? You'd never get a 10-year-old to do that kind of work! We both end up with scraped or sore knuckles every time we use it. Again, don't these people use their own products? Maybe they are made in Japan, where people tend to be smaller, but even that's no excuse in my opinion.
Which brings up an exception to my caveat; if you would not be considered to be part of the market for a product, you're off the hook! You Cheap Arron Afflalo Jersey , personally, that is. But you still need to make sure that your products are usable by those for whom they are intended.
And while we're at it, do you ever call your business to see how it sounds? It amazes me how large corporations spend millions of dollars trying to create an image of quality and caring and then hire someone at minimum wage to answer the phone. Then, when you call, it sounds like they're annoyed Cheap Brandon Jennings Jersey , or they are rude as they connect you. What about your music on hold? Is it too loud? Is it too soft? If it is a radio station, IS IT TUNED IN PROPERLY?????
Maybe you have a recording for your customers to hear. Is it a good quality recording? Is the meaning of the message clear? Do your callers have to listen to more than they need to? I am constantly annoyed when I call the local movies and have to sit through a description of their location. I think that most callers to a theater are regular or local callers who already know where it is; how about putting that information at the END OF THE RECORDING so the only ones who need it have to hear it? Or make the directions an option: "Press '1' for directions".
This is starting to sound like a rant. (!) My point is this? THINK FROM YOUR CUSTOMER'S POINT OF VIEW. Use your product or service as they would. Call and deal with your business as they would. Do you like what you get? If not, fix it.
Sort of Music We Play Does Affect People Marketing Articles | March 2, 2010 Research has shown that music has a profound effect on your body and psyche. In fact, there?s a growing field of health care known as music therapy.
In a recent research study Cheap Lance Stephenson Jersey , we have discovered that patrons of restaurant spent over £1 each on coffee when classical music was played, compared to only 80p when pop music was played and just 54p when no background music was present. Interesting isn't it?
A recent study was conducted in a restaurant in order to nkow wether background music affects the buying behaviour of the customers. The study results that the sort of music you play does affect people's mood. It is quite amazing how much it sets and creates an atmosphere in restaurants. Sometimes you play what you personally like rather than what the clients like. The restaurant owner said: "I think this research will definitely affect what we play in the future."
Music therapy is a popular and growing field for good reason. Actually, music benefits to your state of mind. Yes it's true, and that even after you've stopped listening. Music can alleviate pain caused by exercise, making working out more pleasurable. ?Music is integral to exercise Cheap Langston Galloway Jersey ,? explains the head of London?s Gymbox chain, Richard Hilton. ?We even have live DJs. We?ve never measured the effect scientifically, but it definitely creates an uplifting mood that people love.
Actual selection of music is something which needs to be considered while playing music in a waiting rooms at the doctors of the dentists for examples. Given the normal mix of ages and cultures to be found in these environments but there?s no doubting the beneficial impact for both patient and doctor when it happens.
