The Vocabulary…..
Sometime our vocabulary plays a good role in marketing a product, while considering it; he gave some important tips on effective marketing vocabulary, which seems very beneficial to us.
How to delight your customer….
He put more stress on “customer service”, because we can sell products to customer only one time after that we can sell services many times to the customers.
Effective customer service is the only thing which can overcome several laciness of our product. If a customer is delighted with our services, he can naturally communicate it with others, which is beneficial to us over our competitors.
He indexed ABC of customer services which seems like:
A- Acknowledge
B- Be there
C- Communication
D- Do the right things
E- Exceed expectations
F- Friends
G- Greeting
H- Heart
I- Integrity
J- Judgment
K- Know the customer

N- Name
O- One stop shopping
P- Patience and perseverance
Q- Questions
R- Respect the elders
S- Stress
T- Thanks
U- Understand
V- Vision
W- Wow
X- Xtra special
Y- Yes
Z- Zeal

The truth….
In our English vocabulary there is an effective term “CUSTOMER”, customer is only living creature in the world, who has a coin in his hand, which decides the successfulness of your product.

Remember that….
Next time when you go to your customer, please remember the ABC of customer service.

The sessions ended with an “interactive questions session” in which we asked many doughts to him about effective marketing.

Effective Marketing


Who are you?
People want to know who are you and whom are you dealing with, and these days the internet is the first place they turn to find out you...

Today time is very competitive, so to shoulder with this competitive time an organization have their own Investment and marketing strategies. We are living in a world which is growing very fast, so before investing into any marketing strategies a firm must calculate the ROI for their future benefit.
But it is very despondent to see many companies investing their money into traditional and expansive marketing activities even though they have one of the finest and cheapest mode of marketing in front of them.
I am talking about website (internet marketing), the finest and cheapest way of marketing with greater ROI. The problem is that many people are not aware of it, because of that they invest a huge amount in traditional marketing activities and ends with less ROI.
Through this article I want to convince those people, who never think for new way of marketing i.e., website (internet marketing). The best way of defining a website is that...

The Choice is yours…
A website can act like a resume for your organization, like a manager recruits candidates by seeing their resume. In the same manner, customers select the products of your company by seeing the spacious look of their website.

It’s your virtual shop
The internet is the effective channel for promoting your products to your customers anywhere in the world at anytime. It offers a cost effective way of business by keeping your existing client base and informing them about your new business development. So in that manner an internet acts as virtual shop for your business.
