Copywriting
A good copywriter knows which words
trigger the feelings that compel people to make decisions. They write with
flair, making it easy for people to be drawn into what they are saying about
your business, services or products. Read an an example of good copywriting for a
fictitious Sydney Mercedes Dealer, or
just "ok"
website copy for a Used Mercedes dealer.
Trademarks
The most effective way to safeguard you against people "trading off" your business name, product or service, is to register a trademark. For more information, including about the justweb® trade mark, please read our

One of the most complained about areas of business these days is customer
service. A good customer service experience seems to be rare with a lot of
companies.
But, when your CSR (customer service representative) goes above and beyond, a
company can retain a customer for life.
To give you a real life customer service sample where the CSR far surpassed
expectations, I'll tell you about my experience with one Sydney-based company.
For many years, and I have to say, long before the Masterchef concept was a
glimmer of hope in the eye of its creator, I've used Global knives and Scanpan
cookware (YES - I cook!).
Unfortunately, right at the time when I bought a few extra Scanpan cookware
items, they had a "little" problem in production, and my non-stick surfaces
started to crack (not peel as in the case of the lesser quality Teflon coated
cookware).
No problem - they came with a long warranty, so even though you can free post
the items and have them replaced, surprisingly I didn't particularly want to
trust the mail with my valuable cookware, so I trundled up to Sydney's North
Shore to the distributors of Scanpan, Sheldon and Hammond Pty Ltd.
Upon arrival, a representative came out to speak with me, took my cookware
(still in original boxes), and returned about ten minutes later with brand new
items. Easy. No fuss, no arguments.
Some time went by after which I detected small chips appearing in another small
saucepan, so I called the customer service rep I met previously and asked for a
swap. As I experienced earlier, no problems or arguments about replacement.
Here is where the above and beyond stuff comes in.
While in their office originally, I discovered they also distribute Global
knives. Since my first visit, I had an accident with my Ikasu knife block set;
the knives fared well, however the knife block - not so much.
I asked the customer rep if I could buy the knife block by itself.
Unfortunately, they don't sell the blocks as a separate item. Then, to my
surprise, she said "but don't worry about that - I'll send you one for no charge
when I send you your new saucepan".
What? Now THAT's what I call above and beyond customer service. Not that I
expect my Global knives or Scanpan to wear out anytime soon, but if they do,
guess which brands I'll be buying again?
Why Scanpan is superior to a coated cooking surface
SCANPAN is "forged" from molten aluminium under 250 tons of pressure. The molten
aluminium is poured into a lower mould, with an upper mould coming down to
"squeeze" the liquid aluminium into the shape of the pan. The 250-ton pressure
gets rid of any air pockets or other inclusions, thus ensuring perfect heat
distribution without hot spots. Only pressure-cast aluminium will guarantee this
flawless performance.
The non-stick compound (ceramic titanium coating) is actually embedded into the
material that makes up the cooking surface, unlike cheaper, Teflon coated
cookware.
All Scanpan products with ceramic titanium coating are manufactured in
Ryomgaard, Denmark, where the company's head office is located.
