The hosting business uses emails, Pay-per-click online advertisements, blogs, YouTube, Google Ads, Newsletters, user-friendly websites, relevant forums, discussions, social media, local networking, referrals, testimonials, affiliates, press releases, mobiles to advertise and target the market. The expert team researches the best channels with maximum availability of target prospects, including where they spend their time and are most likely to hear about and pay attention to related hosting services or products. The content, images, or videos must attract or fascinate the viewers and clearly define CTA (Call-To-Action).

The company spends a lot of resources on advertising campaigns; hence, it expects success and expected results. If the objectives are met, the company would like to repeat them. The company evaluates movement with proper planning, strategy, and coordinating efforts for better success. The people like advertisements, which touch them, recognize their problems and suggest solutions. The advertisements evolve with time, and new content is added to leverage different media and customer requirements.

Targeted Media

The company runs advertisement campaigns with a sequence of messages over an extended timeframe on:

• Online media: Sharing interactive ads and banners on websites
• Social media Publicity
• Direct mail
• Search engines

Most hosting providers run multiple marketing campaigns targeting a diverse customer base for different platforms. Each customer may have different needs and value expectations.

A hosting customer often comes to the technical expert support team with a problem to be addressed. The team needs to understand the problem properly by analyzing the situation and creating a problem statement. How can you suggest a solution without understanding the problem? The hosting companies run a communication campaign with soft skills training to address this challenge. The 5 W (who, what, when, where, why) and 1H (how) describe the problem statement. Who has the problem – tells the customer who reached it? What is the problem? What is the nature of the issue? When does the problem arise – after which event or customer activity? Where is the problem – at the customer’s or provider’s? Why does it occur – its reason? The solution entirely depends on the problem statement. The team researches or is already aware of this solution or does the brainstorming session to ensure the most feasible and consistent solution.

Many questions are asked before a hosting customer suggests the solution. Will it work – if that issue occurred earlier, and how was it resolved? Is it the correct answer – success percentage? Is it going to reach customer satisfaction? Does it involve extra fees, resources, or a hosting plan change? How do you contact a customer regarding the issue or problem via email, phone, or any other communication channel?

An expert searches the Internet and queries for each viable solution to ensure the success rate, how many used that solution, and whether their issues got fully resolved. How many customers with competitors facing a similar problem? Before suggesting the answer, the expert often tests it by creating a similar environment.

The creative team develops images with content or videos to add solutions to the knowledge base for these issues. Each creative contains a headline, tagline, key visual, and content that complements the idea and catalyzes discussion. If it’s a piece of new information, the hosting provider often looks to do its press release and disseminate the information to maximum media channels.
Often, PR, communication, or the marketing department is in the regular hunt for such information, which they pitch with their products or services to gain market share and recognition. They expect to gain traffic, leads, and new customers. The visitors also have high expectations of getting the same value as shown.

All done to help customers!

The customer comes up with problems or issues, and a hosting provider resolves them with the available solutions, but with that, a shout in all media goes to create brand awareness.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Small Business Administration Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman  released the following statement on the President’s signing of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal:

“Small businesses drive economic growth and create jobs, and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Deal will provide opportunities for them to better compete, grow, and build resilience. Our small businesses rely on strong infrastructure – investing in our roads, bridges, public transit and rail will help them transport goods swiftly and affordably, as well as reach more customers. With unprecedented investments in broadband and cyber infrastructure, small businesses in every corner of our nation will be able to meet customers where they are: online. The plan will also open the door to contracting opportunities for our small businesses – opportunities that will help rebuild our infrastructure, grow their companies, and create jobs in local communities. In addition, it will position American businesses and innovators to compete in the expanding industries solving climate change, and to grow clean-energy supply chains that will help expand global exporting. With historic investments in climate change solutions, the plan will help reduce the negative impacts of climate change that hit our small businesses disproportionately. President Biden promised to work across the aisle and deliver results – and that is exactly what he has done for our small businesses, our workers, and the American people.”

Why do most hosting customers choose WordPress.com, Liquidweb, Inmotionhosting, Hostgator, Bluehost, A2hosting, Greengeeks, and the companies listed as best-hosting providers on Ananova.com? The customers are emotionally connected with the above-listed companies and consider their products innovative, feature-rich, and value-based. What about the customer website hosting needs and requirements if the brand is selected, not a product? Do the offered products have enough scope and scale to meet all the business needs?

Well-established brands emphasise attributes that add to the emotional connection to their customers. Ananova lists these attributes in the hosting business: Support, Uptime, Infrastructure, and backup. Unlimited resources like bandwidth, webspace, and MySQL get secondary importance. The hosting company managers take the priority features first before making the marketing strategies and plan their actions accordingly. Each product is identified with the brand as the management looks to create long-term and short-term customer relationships. That’s made a difference. Whatever new product they launch, it gets all the value and efficiency features automatically.

A joint media release with the Minister for Employment, Workforce, Skills, Small and Family Business, the Hon Stuart Robert MP, and the Minister Assisting the Prime Minister and Cabinet, the Hon Ben Morton MP
Australian start-ups and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) are invited to submit innovative digital solutions to red-tape bottlenecks.
Minister for Industry, Energy and Emissions Reduction Angus Taylor said the grants delivered under the Business Research and Innovation Initiative (BRII) would target projects to improve access to information on state and territory occupational licenses.

“We are looking for digital disruptors to come up with regtech solutions to improve information sharing for occupational registrations and licences,” Minister Taylor said.

“Through its reforms to the mutual recognition of occupational licences the Morrison Government is making it easier for licensed workers to work across jurisdictions but we need to streamline how states and territories share information on licence registrations and conditions.”

“The most successful of these ideas may be eligible for a grant of up to $675,000 to develop a prototype or proof of concept.”

Minister Assisting the Prime Minister and Cabinet, Ben Morton, said that grants are available for innovative proposals which address vital regulatory requirements around information management.

“Information management and sharing is a significant issue for government regulators and the private sector is well placed to provide solutions.
The Government’s reforms to mutual recognition of occupational licenses will add $2.4 billion to the economy over 10 years.

Timely and accurate access to information is a critical part of this reform,”

Minister Morton said.

“We encourage interested parties to start working on their proposal now. It’s a great opportunity for SMEs and start-ups to develop their ideas. Applications will close on 30 November 2021.”

Minister for Employment, Workforce, Skills, Small and Family Business Stuart Robert welcomed the BRII’s latest round of grants.

“As we secure our economic recovery, removing red tape across state and territory occupational licences will help our workforce move across the country, ensuring we can more easily realise economic opportunities, from major infrastructure projects through to our booming residential construction sector.”
“Whether it is streamlining occupational licences or bringing Australia’s skills and training system into alignment, the Morrison Government is leading a national effort to secure the workforce we need to grow our economy and build a better future.”

To date, the BRII program has provided 83 grants totalling more than $30 million in funding.

CONSUMER ALERT:

“Boss Scam” Targets Employees With Texts and Emails From Fraudsters Posing as Employers Asking for Gift Cards With More Employees Working Remotely Due to COVID-19 Safety Measures, AG James Offers New Yorkers Tips to Protect Themselves

NEW YORK – New York Attorney General Letitia James issued an alert to New Yorkers today, warning them about the “Boss Scam. “A standard text and email scam in which fraudsters pose as a consumer’s employer and request gift cards due to a purported work emergency. This scam may rise during the pandemic of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) since many employees are working remotely.

A real example of a 2021 text message from a ‘fake’ employer to an employee seeking $1,400 in Target gift cards.

“Due to COVID-19 safety measures, many employees are still working remotely which makes it easier to fall for this common scam,” said Attorney General James. “A legitimate employer will never ask you to purchase gift cards in order to pay clients or for other business purchases. I urge all New Yorkers to be on the alert for this type of fraud, and to protect themselves and their wallets by following our simple tips.”

The scam typically works as follows: An employee receives a text or an email from someone pretending to be their employer who claims there is an urgent matter. The text or email may ‘spoof’ an employer’s actual name, phone number, or email address, making it seem legitimate. The ’employer’ then requests that the employee buy a certain number of Target or other store gift cards in specific denominations and promises to reimburse the employee quickly. As in the example below, the ’employer’ may ask the employee to scratch off the back of the card to reveal the PIN or claim code — thus making the gift card the equivalent of cash — and send photos of the card to the scammer.

A real example of a 2021 text message from a ‘fake’ employer to an employee seeking $1,400 in Target gift cards.

Gift card scams of all types are very prevalent. Most involve some imposter scam, such as scammers pretending to be employers, the government, family, or tech support companies. A December 2020 data analysis by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) shows that “About one in four [consumers] who lost money to a fraud say they paid with a gift card. In fact, gift cards have topped the list of reported fraud payment methods every year since 2018. During that time, people reported losing a total of nearly $245 million, with a median individual loss of $840.” According to the FTC, some of the most reported gift and reload card brands consumers mentioned in fraud reports included eBay, Google Play, Target, iTunes, and Amazon.

Attorney General James offers the following tips to protect against the “Boss” gift card scam:

• Take a pause. Scammers create a sense of urgency to prey on victims’ emotions.
• Take a second pause. A legitimate employer will not ask you to handle company business through gift card purchases.
• Verify any supposed emergency by contacting an employer at the number you know. Do not reply to the text or email sent, even if it appears to come from a known email or phone number.

Tips to avoid gift card scams generally:

• Be suspicious of anyone who contacts you unexpectedly asking to be sent gift cards.
• Never purchase gift cards to transfer money. Gift cards are solely for gifts.
• Scammers often train their victims to give false information to retail clerks when clerks ask questions about large gift card purchases. If a retail clerk warns you that you may be the victim of a gift card scam, heed their advice and contact law enforcement officials.

New Yorkers targeted by this scam are urged to file a complaint by completing and submitting a Consumer Frauds and Protection Bureau online complaint form or by calling (800) 771-7755.
