Tips to Manage your Online Business During Vacation
By Lakshmi Menon
Are you planning to go on a vacation leaving your Internet business?
Are you wondering how to manage your online home business in your absence?
If you have the facility of an internet access in your vacation place, and your business is fully automated, you will be able to manage. If not, the following tips may be of help to you and you can enjoy your vacation without worries.
1. When you plan your vacation think about the vital points of your business and write them down in a paper, such as what all points needed attention. Usually the main points which require attention are handling your customers, replying to their queries and helping them to solve their problems etc. Then comes the ad campaign, tracking the ad, regular surfing for getting traffic etc.
2. Identify a person who is trust worthy and computer literate. He should be ready to help you with the minimum efforts. You can't expect someone to take full charge of your business in your absence. It will be an additional bonus if he/she knows something about your online business. This person can be either your spouse or any family member, or an online friend.
3. Give proper instructions to your friend who will be managing your online business for you. This should include the routine questions expected from your customers and your routine replies, so that he/she can answer your clients appropriately. An autoresponder will do the work for you. But in some cases, a human reply will be indeed very helpful.
4. Inform your list of members regarding your plan of vacation and the duration. Don't forget to let them know the arrangements you have made in your absence so that they won't be disappointed.
5. Place orders for your ad campaign with standard ezines who will run your ad in your absence also.
6. Your requirement of regular surfing to get adequate traffic to your website can also be entrusted with your friend.
7. Try to get in touch with your friend over the telephone whenever possible to find out how is it going on and whether he/she is facing any problems.
8. On your return remember to inform your customers about your vacation and give them a free gift such as an email course or ebook as a token of your appreciation for the patience and understanding. They'd love you for understanding them.
9. Don't forget to reward your friend adequately who managed your online business beautifully in your absence and he/she will be ready to help you in time of need in future also.
