THE HUMBLE LETTER
It’s a fact that the community is sending fewer letters now than they did in the ’60s, so, in spite of the postal increases recently, does Australia Post have a social obligation to keep distributing the humble letter even though there’s more incentive now to not send letters commercially and to use online services.

THE LOST ART OF ETIQUETTE

Whatever happened to the words "please" and "thank you"?

Common courtesy sometimes gets lost in the frantic shuffle of modern business.

Yet simple consideration can go a long way toward building fruitful relationships with customers, employees and business partners.

Take telephone etiquette for example. It's all too easy to forget your manners on the phone, especially if there's an an unruly customer on the other end of the line.

Email is also susceptible to curt and impersonal correspondence, so think twice before you click send.

Productive communication is critical for small businesses because there is often more personal interaction with customers. An occasional phone call or email to thank a good customer for their business helps promote loyalty and sets you apart you from your competition.
