Plebble Starter package goes Live!

Well this is the place where we keep you up-to-date with all our developments and our latest one 'PlebbleStarter™' package for businesses has arrived! Now any business can take ownership of their business on Plebble for FREE! PlebbleStarter™ includes numerous free tools for businesses. Please have a look at the features to see what is on offer. You will note that we have premium services for businesses too. These are in the form of 'pay-as-you-go' and are to further help businesses improve their appearance, raise awareness and gather feedback.

On PlebbleStarter™ we give businesses the ability to respond. This is a great way of helping businesses and consumers communicate and engage with each other. Each response is posted live on the site and the rater concerned is notified when a reply has been made. This is very powerful for businesses as it gives them an opportunity to turn a negative comment into a positive outcome. Not only can a business win back the disaffected consumer it can also show everyone else how they are responding to problems and lets face it even the best businesses make mistakes so we all need to tell people how we are rectifying and improving. We have already seen consumer problems rectified through the site but the response feature only helps this further.

Of course businesses can also respond to positive comments, to thank their customers for their loyal support and tell them how they are making things even better.

With all the hype surrounding social networks, perhaps a good way of looking at a PlebbleStarter™ membership is as a business's own online profile. The big difference of course is that businesses don't have a choice whether they have a profile or not. Consumers have opinions on the businesses they use and want to share those opinions with others. There is very little businesses can do about these conversations and with the internet and sites like ours conversations are increasing and spreading further all the time. So why not be part of the conversation? This not only involves the response feature as mentioned above, but it also includes the ability for businesses to customise their page and branch pages with logos, descriptions and website links. Businesses can also add their own news stories and special offers to keep customers up to date with all their developments.

I hope you agree that the PlebbleStarter™ package really enhances the concept. If you have and feedback then you can of course rate us! Alternatively please get in touch by emailing us at info@plebble.com we always love hearing from you.
