PSP What's New Newsletter Vol. 33 "From a business trip to California"

10月

16日

Vol. 33

On September 26th I left Bellevue and began my drive to San Diego. The 1,200 mile trip was not an easy one. However, what I felt during the 18-hour drive was the magnitude of America.

The Coronavirus has caused me to spend a lot of time at home and in the office, and I have lost perspective. Once I comprehended the size of the United States, I realized how narrow my thinking was.

Our company is a website creation and hosting company. This pandemic hasn't had a huge impact on our business, and for that we are very happy and grateful. We know that many companies are struggling during this time.

Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. runs a Japanese language community site in San Diego called SanDiegoTown. Here, we are offering discounts on advertising to the restaurants most affected by the pandemic. This is something we have not done before. We'll be doing everything else we can to help those who are struggling during this challenging time. Please give us a shout if we can be of assistance.

PSP What's New Newsletter Vol. 32 "Small Business Branding"

10月

9日

Vol. 32

It's impossible and meaningless for a small business to do marketing with branding on the same scale as big companies like Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Ray-Ban and Apple. So let's think about what small business branding is all about. Today's challenge is to “Think Small”.

Small business branding is not the design of a logo or the image of an advertisement. Branding is about defining where you stand. The first thing to address is that you need to define what your company stands for. Here's what we call a mission statement or elevator speech to clarify the purpose of your company's existence. The mission statement of Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. is:

“As an independent software design and development company, we use our technology to create software to help companies save and/or make money. From the concept to the final product, we want to be a company that people think of when they need software solutions.”

https://www.pspinc.com/about

This is the first step in branding. The next thing you need to clarify is your target customer. If you think you can sell or are able to sell to anyone, you won't be able to focus your activities. By deciding as clearly as possible who it is for, your message and sales methods will be determined.

Some branding needs to be clearly differentiated from other companies. Not on a detailed level, but try to itemize who your competitors are and what makes you different from them. That way, you'll have a clearer idea of where you excel and where you need to work a little harder. Striving to develop your strengths and reduce your weaknesses as much as possible is also branding.

Finally, don't make your branding just about attracting new customers. Don't forget to make an effort to make sure that your current customers are also happy to hire your company. A lot of these humble tasks will not activate new costs. There's a lot to do in-house, but I believe this is all about branding.

How food delivery services can affect your restaurant

10月

7日

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a lasting impact on businesses of all sizes. One industry that has had to adapt its business model in order to survive has been the restaurant and food industry. Gone are the days of packed restaurants, friendly servers, and dining as a social experience.

Beyond the empty dining rooms, restaurants around the world are noticing another factor that is affecting the bottom line - the increased focus on food delivery services.
Food delivery person

More people are eating delivery and take-out than ever before. Restaurants have begun shifting their business model to cater (no pun intended) to “to-go” dining, this has led to an increased reliance on food delivery services like DoorDash, Postmates, and UberEats to name a few.

While these are fantastic services that have been a lifeline in some cases to keeping small businesses afloat, they have added an element of unpredictability to the relationship between the restaurant and the customer. What does this mean for restaurant owners?

Like it or not, food delivery services are representing your business.

While delivery drivers operate independently, to many of your customers, they represent your business while they are delivering your food. That means cold food, and long wait times (in some cases) end up being a reflection not on the driver, but on your restaurant.

If a customer has a bad experience, they may rate the driver poorly, but they also may decide not to patronize your restaurant in the future because of it. Through no fault of your own!

How do you ensure your customers are satisfied not just by your food, but of the food delivery services as well?

We have developed a system called Opinion Stand ® that is designed to measure your customer’s satisfaction in their dining experience.

Opinion Stand ® allows your customers to provide contactless feedback all from the comfort of their individual smartphone.

How does it work?

Embed an Opinion Stand ® generated QR or text message code on your delivery and take-out flyers. Your customers simply scan or text the code and they receive a link to use Opinion Stand ®.

From there they click on a smiley icon to describe their overall experience and can provide you with additional details.

Learn more about how Opinion Stand ® is convenient and contactless for your diners.

Benefits of using Opinion Stand ®

Learn about your customer’s dining experience once the food leaves your restaurant.

Gain valuable contact information to support your future marketing efforts.

If the food delivery experience was less than ideal, you have a chance to address the problem before your customer takes their bad experience to Yelp.

Don’t leave your food delivery to chance - use Opinion Stand ®!

The food industry is constantly changing, and with Opinion Stand ® you can be proactive and change with it. We would love the opportunity to speak with you about the challenges you are facing as a small business and how we can help.

We can custom tailor the icons, questions, and messages for each Opinion Stand ® to meet your unique business needs.

To get started call us toll-free 1-800-232-3989 or email us directly at contact@pspinc.com.
