Web Host Article "Keep
your host in shape"
Keeping
Customers in the Loop
By Johnder Perez
One
of the most important aspects of managing your thriving web hosting business
is keeping your customers informed. Web hosts that communicate on a regular
basis with their customers tend to build better relationships with them.
And in a business as competitive as web hosting, what could possibly be
more important than building and maintaining a strong relationship with
each of your customers?
With this in mind, web hosts should devise a strategy
that will keep customers in the loop. Put yourself in your customer’s
shoes. Wouldn’t you appreciate knowing what is going on with the
company taking care of your web hosting? Of course you would! So let’s
take a look at a number of ways you can keep customers in the loop.
Newsletters
Perhaps the most commonly used method of keeping customers
informed on a regular basis is the newsletter. Using an opt-in mailing
list, you can regularly send out updates to your customers. Whether you
are announcing a new hosting plan, offering a special incentive or promotion,
or sharing tips and advice for them to use, the newsletter is the easiest
way to do it.
Newsletters
are also the most cost effective way to keep your customers informed.
Visit www.scripts.com and you’ll
discover a number of newsletter programs that you can install and start
using for free. Newsletters are easy to implement, cost effective and
a great way to keep in touch with your customers regularly!
Message
Forums
Some web hosts have decided to pursue a more collaborative
means of keeping customers informed by offering the opportunity for customers
to interact and provide feedback. Message forums are a prime example.
Web hosts can use a message forum not only to post news about what’s
happening with the company, or special offers and promotions, but also
as a means to provide technical support.
In fact,
many web hosts use message forums such as www.Vbulletin.com
for technical support issues. The advantage of this is that the members
of the forums can also interact with other customers. This creates a community
effect, building a stronger relationship between your company and your
customers.
Message forums are more costly compared to newsletters,
and require more work on your part. Keep in mind that with forum members
posting messages, you will need a moderator to regularly keep track of
what’s going on. But think about the benefits: better customer interaction,
collaborative support, and so forth.
Blogs
Last, but definitely not the least, is the all too popular
blog. Many businesses have decided to take the blog approach to keeping
their customers in the loop. Blogs are great because they offer a more
personal interaction between you and your customers, and are a lot less
formal than newsletters. They’re also fun to read and easy to maintain.
Blogs are
cost effective, and you can use a service such as Blogger (www.blogger.com)
for free. Posting to your blog on a regular basis is also fun and easy
to do. And since you can post to your blog easily, you can keep customers
informed about anything on a regular basis.
Keep
In Touch!
Keeping in
touch with your customers is the first step to building a healthy relationship
with them. It shows that you care about their needs, that you’re
paying attention to them and that you value their business. By putting
in a simple effort of using methods to make contact with your customers
regularly, you gain a competitive advantage over your competition, and
you give your customers a much better experience.

Tip
of the Month
Did
you know you can buy a box similar to google adwords on BrowseHosts.com
?
Simply go to "Sponsor Box" in your account control panel, and
then click on "Add Box". Note that you can only put one keyword
or key phrase into the field on the form labelled "Search Keyword:"
The current price for a box is $25 for 30 days. The sponsor box
has a small image in it, to make your ad stand out. It is a static spot
that will show up on category searches of the keyword you chose. In order
to get the most exposure, we suggest bidding on one of the popular category
keywords. What are they ? Here is a short list:
| Sponsor
Box Category Keywords: |
| budget
hosting |
windows
hosting |
| basic
plans |
free
hosting |
| dedicated
servers |
unix
linux |
| reseller
