Small Hometown on the InternetWritten by Mike Smith
I have been doing business as an Internet marketing professional for a few years now and one of most important things I have realized is that people want to know folks they do business with just like in their Hometown. Let's face it, when you go to grocery store or even local bank, you know people that work there. You know their names and they at least know you by site if not by name. It is a great feeling to be able to ask Alice what your bank balance is and have her respond with, "It's $xx.xx, Mr. Smith." Or Bill, at Super Market, asks if he can carry out your groceries and knows your car. Some of these folks are even your friends away from their jobs. Imagine what it would be like to be in a strange town where you didn't know anyone and nobody knew, or cared, who you were. Sounds a little like Internet, huh? You find a site that sounds like a good deal on a product or service. You click on credit card link and make your purchase from someone that you don't know and that has no idea who you are. Wouldn't it be nice if you had an idea who they were and if they are real people just like you? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to ask some questions and get some answers from a real person that calls you by name? Frankly when I do business on Internet I want to be recognized. I want people I do business with to be there if I have a question. Autoresponders are nice and save a lot of time, but there is nothing like a personal e-mail from someone who will take time to address your questions directly to you. Yes, Internet is changing. It changes every day and new
