The e-mail marketing blog RSS 2.0

The current market is driven by a globalized environment. As a result, Customer Service has become one of the aspects that more value add to your products and your business, especially if we talk about online sales and the Internet environment.

In this sense, it is completely indispensable to establish an excellent service and  support available to reinforce the customers’ feeling of security and confidence in having someone ‘real’ on the other side to solve their queries, doubts and suggestions, for whoever likes to interact with the company.

 

The channels that allow this reliable link with customers are basically:

  • Email
  • F.A.Q´s (Frequent Asked Questions)
  • Enough documentation in the website
  • Contact telephone number
  • Chat
  • VoIP services
  • Remote assistance service

We should not overlook any of these communication channels, mostly when the dialog is on real time (i.e. chat).  We must be ready at any time to listen what our customers have to say, and do so to give them a proximity feeling.

Today we've just received a quite shocking e-mail from register.com, the big and famous Internet domains registrar. In it they told us "protect your domain from spam!". When I first read it i thought in a new anti-spam service offered by the company or something like that. My surprise was to discover that they simply offer to remove your data from the information they give inmediatelly to the users of the whois database (I suppose they will use a kind of CAPTCHA if you buy the service).

Check out the contents of the e-mail (people's names removed in order to maintain privacy. Check this out register ;-)):

In my opinion their obligation is to keep your data as secure as they can. This must be mandatory for them, not an (paid) option for you. It reveals a very irresponsive way to do business, and helps in the proliferation of spam.

On the other hand they call "marketers" to plain regular spammers (see the red rectangular box in the bottom of the image), wich I think is not only a shame but even an insult to our profession.

Shame on you about this way of doing business Register! :-(
