WANT ME TO WRITE YOUR COPY?

Big statement isn’t it? Anyone that is new to online marketing is practically clueless on how to write ad copy let alone GREAT copy but there are some that will be game enough to look at a blank screen hours on end and try and get inspired and then put together something that is so lame that does not excite people enough to click on their ad therefore giving you no chance to grow your list or sell your product or service.

Also, you need to follow them up with pre-written email series. I have seen courses say to the group “just copy and paste the emails I have written” but you see this has been done many times before you and people are not stupid. What you are trying to do with email marketing is build rapport with them – they are buying from YOU so emails need to be personalised.

Does that sound familiar to you?

Like a any trade there are MUST haves in your toolbox and you either make a choice to either get the tools you need and learn how to use them or you need to get someone like us Need a VA to outsource the task for you these are your only 2 choices really.

NATURAL HOME REMEDIES TO KEEP PESTS OUT

While you might enjoy going out and traveling to places, it is an undeniable fact that pests are trying to get in. They’re not all trying to grab a snack from your kitchen, many emerge from winter hiding once temperatures rise and begin looking for food and water.
How do you keep the pests at bay? 

Here are some natural remedies to keep pests away from your property:

Ants- Ants are one of the most frequent home invaders and one of the easiest to deal with in a sweet-smelling, natural way. You can also cut cucumber in small slices and place them on the likely entry point of ants in your kitchen. Bitter cucumber slices works better. If you don’t have the above-mentioned remedies, soap water spray works good against ants.

Mosquitoes- If you want a mosquito-free surrounding, you can consider lemon. Lemon grass, lemon-scented Pelargoniums (commonly sold as scented geraniums) and lemon balm are some of the ones you can keep in pots or in the garden. Lemon balm is a mint and like all mints, you’ll never have to think about it again after planting except maybe to cut it back to keep it under control. Speaking of mint, rubbing it on your skin is also an effective way to repel biting bugs. 

Furthermore, it is very necessary to keep your surroundings airy and clean, take concrete measures to remove standing water sources where , mosquitoes might nest in.

Flies- The best way to keep away flies is to keep your house and surroundings clean and neat. In both kitchen and bathroom keep the drains free and clean of debris. Small sachets of mint leaves in crushed form can be placed around the home to restrict flies entering your house.

Cockroaches- We use many products available in the market to keep away roaches. The best way to keep them out of your kitchen is to keep your kitchen clean and very neat. Soap solution spray can instantly kill cockroaches if sprayed directly.

In both kitchen and bathroom keep the drains free and clean of debris. And make sure your garbage cans and compost bin lids are fit securely not only to keep insects away but four-legged pests.

However, if the pests get out of hand, it is just appropriate to admit that you need the help of experts in removing them from your property. Call Bob on 0407 065 413 for all of your pest concerns TODAY. Or go to our site A1 Pest Control Canberra for further information and education.

How to Get a Customer Back

As a business it is far more economical to get a customer back rather than to do an advertising campaign to attract another. Many times a customer will leave without saying a thing and you won’t know why, to fix something you need to ask the hard question to the customer to find out what happened to make them leave in the first place.

Amazingly, 53% of customers switch companies when they don’t feel appreciated and your job as a business is to reach out to the customers to find out what was their problem and how you will have a solution to fix the situation.

At all cost don’t bombard them with emails as this does not represent the true image of the company and what your goal is to make them feel more valued.

Another more genuine way is to send a letter in the mail is found to get a more positive reaction.
To the customer it feels more personal and gives a sense of importance to them. Within your letter, introduce yourself and let them know that you miss them. If there was a specific case that was not solved satisfactorily for them, explain how you will rectify it.

Its worth remembering that 70% of customers will do business with you again if you resolve a dispute in their favour which is a huge increase in your business along with having a happy customer who will tell others of their experience with your company!

Once you have made contact with the customer and have solved their issue you may want to let them know what new changes that you have made since they have gone.

To sweeten the deal you may also want to:

• Offer a discount to your product or service to be used within a
• certain time frame.
• Let them know of future perks being a loyal customer with your company
• Up and coming promotions that you have or referral program that could earn them further discounts

How a virtual assistant make this work for you:
Keeping in mind the cost per acquisition or CPA in some businesses the lead could be worth $100 – $150 per lead it depends on your industry the virtual assistant can:

• Make a list of your customers even data mining what they last purchased
• Do a personal info-graphic for your discount
• Coupon code
• Write a letter to your customer giving them an update on what’s new

Qualified Pest Control Advice is Gold

Contact Bob 0407 065 413 info@a1pestcontrolcanberra.com.au

The internet today can also be a curse…what do I mean? Ask any person that has self diagnosed their own condition on the internet and was sure that they would be moments from death, disregarding the fact that the diagnosis was general information not the gospel truth.

That is why you go to a doctor that has up to 9 years of study and he will personalize your consultation and give you treatment for your particular case.

Why do I say this? Its because we found live termites that were in the tree and the fences and wanted to treat these areas also place a barrier around the home to protect the home owner.

We were informed that that the neighbour had researched it and said that it was not necessary to put the barrier down.

The home owner said that besides the insurance would cover this which again is wrong information.

The well meaning neighbour advice is incorrect and the termites once chased out will be home less and the nearest place for them to go would be the home. They are looking for ideal environment which has a water supply in areas such as the bathroom, kitchen or laundry.

What insurance covers is getting damp areas repaired it does NOT cover termite damage. Please check your policies you are gambling with your biggest investment – your home.

Not to add scare tactics in 6-8 months time we have seen repair bills to a home costing upwards of $80,000 as they attack beams, doorway and windows.

Only listen to people that are a Pest Control expert or someone from the CSIRO that has a Entomology degree to give advice, do not rely on people that think they have a solution by looking on the internet as this bad advice will cost you money.

Hiring The Right Team To Build Your Website

Its so important when hiring the right team to build your website that you really begin with a check list of questions that you need answered before you even get to the point and start talking about your vision for your website. 

The questions would be:

• How much experience have you had building websites?
• Can I see the different types of websites that you have built?
• What length of time does it take you to build a website?

WordPress is one of the biggest and easiest platforms to work with and there are thousands of free themes but note with free themes are not updated after a period of time whereas a paid theme is updated regularly.

Once the platform and framework of the site is built, it is more difficult to add new features or alter the overall structure.

Other considerations is to determine the goal of your website.

• What do you hope to achieve with this website?
• Who is your target audience?
• How will you know when you have achieved these objectives?

With building your website you may want to consider to have a mock up of the layout of your website so you can envisage how the end product will look like. This is a great time to make adjustments before you even get started. As you move through the website creation process, you will see the website starting to take shape and have a good idea by now what the site will look like.

Although there will be many things that will change during the creation process – like specific design features, different applications, and your unique content – your core goals will remain constant.

Your Virtual Assistant Team

Spider Pest Control – Everyone Hates Spiders!

We get calls from all sorts of people that have creepy crawly problems and the one that makes people shudder is spiders.

There was a woman who saw a huge spider on her screen doors back and front that was holding her prisoner!

She was late to work as she had a fear that the spider would jump on her as she went through the door. It does not even help customers when we tell them that the spiders they describe is harmless and it helps to eat mosquitos …they just want them GONE.

Spiderlings are small baby spiders that are airborne and just attach to anywhere they fall mainly outside but can find their way indoors as well.

TOP SPIDER TIP AFTER TREATMENT:

When we come for the general pest treatment or attend spider call outs we will spray our treatment on webs what many people do is take a broom and get the web down this is WRONG.

Leave the web in place 3-4 weeks as other spiders will visit the web and the treatment will kill them as well.

There have been video’s on YouTube of people that are well meaning and get a ladder and container to trap the spider and they think that they will creep up on the spider to catch it – don’t forget many spiders have 6-8 eyes though and can keep an eye on you either through poor sight or vibration.

The video is funny to watch, as the person gets near to the spider container in hand above his head and nearly ready to capture it when the spider jumps on him!

He and the child who is video recording it scream the ladder falls over and no doubt the man may have even hurt himself. Don’t climb ladders or you could get hurt!
