Building An Infastructure

- It is vital for a growing business to be able to develop a solid infastructure. This includes houses for storage, factories for production, and harvestors for mining resources. All of these items take lots, and as characters are only allowed 10 lots each, it becomes necessary to trade or share lots in order to grow your business infastructure beyond your own limitations. The best way to accomplish this is to either partner with another player on your own server and come to an arrangement to use their lots, or you can trade lots with characters from other servers. Soon we will be adding a detailed guide for building your business infastructure, but for now visit our PartnerLink forums where you can connect with potential partners and get your business expansion underway.

Excel At Customer Service

- When it all is said and done, the only way you will ever have a successful business is by pleasing your customer. Customers are the vital ingredient to your sales. They have many choices in the galaxy to buy their products and it is your job to win them over not only with product quality and availability, but also with great customer service. Get to know each of your frequent customers, learn what professions they use the most. Also, be sure to find out about the gaming habits of your customers; do they like to hunt, do they like to Pvp, etc. This will determine the kind of products they need and it will help you to cater to them more effectively. Another helpful tip, whenever a customer purchases an item off of your vendor; be sure to send an email to that customer thanking them for their purchase and let them know that you are available if there is anything else they ever need. Customers enjoy this level of service and attention, and it also lets them know that you are accessible if they have a question or need a custom order.
