Pesonal service adds value that often can trump a lower price.

1) do not take more than 24 hours to respond to email request or a question about your services
2) do not use social media to advertise giveaways that you don’t intend to give when the sole purpose is to create traffic on your online store and have people “like” your facebook page. I experienced this one recently. An online store who opened on January 1 had several giveaways, still having them, I won and to date have not received anything. Of course I contacted them twice via email and even provided my name, email, address and phone number. Nothing happened even when they responded one of my emails asking me for my email address again.

3) welcome complaints as well as praises. Always try your best to resolve the complaints
4) Do not have one of those comments section where you control comments and you delete the ones you don’t like. For a personal blog, maybe ok but for a business that is a big no, no
5) Don’t lie to your customers because if you forgot the lie, you lose a customer. I paid a private session with this business owner and she swore to me when I showed up for the appointment that I had the wrong time, and day. When I got home I was right about the date and time. Turns out she wanted to give my spot that I paid for 2 weeks in advance to someone else. How did I find out? She made a video of it.
6)Give every one the same A class service because you never know.

I hope this helps my fellow planet WOW because I’ve been seeing the same mistake over and over again.
