Make an effective promise after obtaining a target customer

Wed, 19 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0500

As a supplier on-line, instead of face-to-face transactions, you conduct business via electronic mediums, such as E-mail, MSN, and so on. It greatly reduces your cost while it also means itâ€™s easier not to keep your promises to their customers because it seems that nothing you need to worry about. After all, few customers will find your troubles face-to-face owing to the long distance in geography. Thatâ€™s why some companies dare to be over-promising and under-delivering after obtaining a target customer. Consumers are continually promised everything from next day delivery, to great customer service, to the best prices, but they are all too often promises that the product and representing company cannot keep. Vivian, a foreign trader of a very small international trade company in Shenzhen, had a word with her boss after receiving a complaint from one of her customers. Her boss ate his words, only delivering only 20 barriers, rather than 22 barriers the quantity her customer ordered. The suppliers having the same thought like Vivianâ€™s boss must regard that they get more profits. From the long run, the fact is quite opposite. Customers evaluate a seller based on how well promises get delivered. **End Summary** Topics: Promise]]> Trust]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> www.ecvv.com is an innovative and comprehensive business portal in China, dedicated to saving costs for Chinese SMEs to find buyers and export to overseas markets.

Tue, 18 Nov 2008 00:00:00 -0500

2001 Nobel Prize winner George Akerlof is famous for his insights on Lemon Markets and his pioneering economic work using Asymmetrical Information Theory. The simplest definition of a Lemon Market is any market with high-quality and low-quality products or services where buyers have limited information about that quality. According to Akerlof, such markets become highly inefficient, favoring low-quality sellers and allowing low-quality products to dominate the market. As we know, Fake products are more and more common in all industries and it appears not only in our real daily life but also on illusory internet. And fake products are low-cost, they were sold at a lower price than the name-brand products, So now we are wondering whether the market of lemon applies to online marketplace.
