How to turn website viewers into loyal customers

Connecting at an attentive, individual service level with customers should be more accessible these days. The internet has made it easier for people to find you. However, human reality is at odds with a remote service that is open-all-hours.

One of the critical aspects of a business that impacts on brands is customer service. In the digital economy, markets are much more customer-oriented, against a background of shortened lifecycles for products and increased competition. It’s a challenging environment to keep your reputation high.

How do brands connect with their customers at a meaningful level?

Customer service sits at the heart of a brand. It can be the thing that makes or breaks many smaller brands competing in busy markets.

In an Ombudsmen Services report, 79% of people said they would avoid a brand if they had received poor customer service from it in the past.

Increasingly, smart technology adds a more vivid aspect of personalisation to products. But this means brands must have the kind of customer service to match this.

What happens when a customer is poised to make an online purchase, but they just need that additional reassurance? They are unlikely to want to pick up the phone, especially if they believe that the company will be shut and emailing the company will simply lengthen the process.

The risk is that you will lose the sale. Just as you can lose customer goodwill if you cannot respond adequately to online complaints.

There is a solution that sits between email and the telephone. In fact, it incorporates elements of both in one convenient, customer-friendly package.

Would you like more leads into your business for the next 45 days at no cost to you?

Testing times: how to avoid MOT player - save 30% on service & maintenance

Did you know that just 75 per cent of vans pass their first Ministry of Transport test at three years, with lighting, brakes and tyres the most common causes for failure?

The three-year MOT exemption for the first test for cars and vans was introduced in 1967. In recent Government MOT test data for 2017, it shows that a quarter of a million vans had their first test, with 61,000 failing due to potentially dangerous defects. Since the new stricter regulations for passing came into effect last year the figures for 2018 may be higher.

One of the reasons vans have a poorer MOT pass rate is because they are work much harder and driven over much great distances. MOT test data shows that a typical van clocks up 47,000 miles by the time it has its first test at three years, while the average car has covered 26,000 miles over the same period of time. As a result, 86 per cent of three-year-old cars will pass the first MOT – a figure that’s significantly better than similar aged vans.

The number of vans in the UK has boomed by 75 per cent over the past 20 years with a record four million on the road today. This is due to Britain’s love for online shopping, that the van market is on the rise, with the home delivery market accounting for one in every five pounds spent in retail.

Top five causes of failure during a van’s first MOT at three years

• Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment – 36,660 yearly failures
• Driver’s view of the road – 14,056 yearly failures
• Brakes – 13,190 yearly failures
• Tyres – 10,605 yearly failures
• Suspension – 6551 yearly failures

Basic routines to avoid a MOT fail

If you maintain your vehicle correctly during the year MOT time will not be as much as an issue, remember a failure means you are driving around in a vehicle that fails to meet the recommended ‘minimum’ safety standard and that is not how a fleet manager operates. Here are some tips to help avoid failing a MOT

• Check your lights. This easily slips through the net becoming a thing that we look at but do not actually see when it needs replacing. Tap each light to make sure there’s not a loose connection which might appear at the test. Most bulbs are easy to change but you will probably need to look in the handbook to find out how to get at them. Don’t forget to check the headlamp washers if you have xenon (HID) or LED headlamps, if these are not working the vehicle will fail the test
• Try and get into the routine of checking your tyres. This would be for bulges and cuts as well as plenty of tread. Uneven wear means they are at the wrong pressure or the wheels are not aligned properly – get this fixed before the tyres are changed otherwise the new ones will wear out prematurely
• Handle your wipers with care. Top up the washer fluid, then operate the washers and wipers. If the wipers leave lines on the screen or scrape over the water without clearing it, they need replacing although you could try cleaning them with methylated spirit first
• We understand that you may be busy but try not to leave it until the last minute. You can submit your vehicle for a check up to a month before the old certificate runs out. This also gives you enough time to make any corrections should there an issue.
• Make a check list. Having a checklist sounds simple but allows you to remember little things that you need that may have slipped off the radar. Try to read the comments after whether you pass or fail. Prevention is better than cure
