What can we help you with?

Mar

20

I know many business owners, including myself, are under the stress of not knowing what is going to happen next. Today we learned that we can no longer travel overseas. Here are some things PSPinc can help you with at no cost.

Website Popup Message

Many retail businesses are hurting and now the travel industry is taking a big blow. If you need to modify the top page of your website to include a popup message regarding what you are doing, contact me. We will help you make one for free whether you are our customer or not.

Free VPN Setup

We can also help you set up VPN access for your company when you start allowing your staff to work from home. When you contact us, we will ask you few questions, suggest what you need to buy (if you are too far away for us to do on-site support) and set up the equipment for you to start utilizing a VPN. We will not charge you for this service.

If you are in need of anything, please call us. We are in this together.

See you at the Restaurant Leadership Conference

Mar

11

My name is Mayumi (pronounced “My, You, and Me” *smile*) and I wanted to introduce myself before we head to the Restaurant Leadership Conference. Our goal is to help you increase profits through positive word-of-mouth marketing and bringing in repeat customers. To do that, we’re bringing a system to RLC called Opinion Stand. You’ll see our kiosks at registration and throughout the conference for your feedback on RLC.

Opinion Stand works because it’s fast and easy for customers to select a rating and leave a comment:

Encourage repeat customers. Providing customers with a convenient way to communicate shows that you value their opinion and builds trust, which makes them more likely to visit again.

Increase positive reviews online. Opinion Stand offers a 1-click button to sites like Yelp so customers can boost your online reputation with positive ratings.
Collect criticism privately. Customers give you negative feedback directly instead of posting criticism online.

Please stop by booth #90 to say hello. We look forward to seeing you!

Reintroducing YourHost

Mar

10

If the Dreamersi domain, web, email hosting system is a luxury car then YourHost Neo is a motorcycle. It is designed to be lean and agile. PSPinc has just reinvented the YourHost hosting platform for people who have more knowledge of web and email, such as Web Developers and Designers. Each YourHost Neo plan includes email, web, and domain registration.

In addition to standard domain, web and email hosting - YourHost can provide a low cost VPS (Virtual Private Server) and ShopSite services for online shopping sites.

Getting Ready for the Restaurant Leadership Conference

Mar

A preview of our pop-up banners you will find around the Restaurant Leadership Conference this month!

March 22nd - 25th / PHOENIX AZ
https://restaurantleadership.com

This year will be our first time attending the Restaurant Leadership Conference in Arizona. We will be displaying our Opinion Stand information gathering and marketing tool. Since the initial development of the Opinion Stand Kiosk system, we have made numerous upgrades and changes to make it extremely useful and powerful.

The current version version will run on any PC or tablet, treating it as if it were a Kiosk. We have also made a text/SMS and QR code-based system so that there is no need for a Kiosk if you choose to go without physical hardware. It lets you include a text or QR code on printable mediums such as poster, flyers, receipts, table tents, product packaging and much more. There is also a version of Opinion Stand that runs on your website allowing you to gather website visitor's opinions.

We have also upgraded the back-end statistics to provide more information on people’s reactions. The system can be used to run as a marketing option to gather people’s contact information.

We are still continuing to learn more ways to gather information. If you are coming to the Restaurant Leadership Conference, please look us up. If not please visit the Opinion Stand website at https://www.opinionstand.com.

POST IN HEAVEN

This website has no purpose ... or does it? When I lost my dog, Pompom, two years ago, I created a website to send message to him in Heaven. I made it as a pet project to learn PHP 7. I didn’t really need to learn PHP but I had a purpose. That purpose was to build that website.

I wanted to create a website that was designed for me to write anything I wanted and to post it nowhere. I can write anything without worrying about anyone seeing it except myself and Pompom in heaven. The source code has no functionality to save any messages you write. In addition, I purchased an SSL certificate to make sure your communication is also protected.

I did not make this site to make money. I just wanted to feel that Pompom is still with me. You are free to use this site and write anything you want. I assure you that I have no idea what you have written.

Just in case you would like to know, there is a site post counter that goes up by one when something is written. Currently there are more than 12,500 posts and that is not all me.

POST IN HEAVEN 天国のメッセージボード

世の中には何の意味もないサイトが存在します。これはわたしが作ったそんなサイトのお話です。
2年前にわたしは愛犬のポンポンくんを天国に送り出しました。ペットをお持ちの方ならそれがどれだけ辛いかお分かりいただけると思います。そこでわたしは天国にいるポンポンくんにメッセージを送るサイトを作りました。

このサイトでは、誰でも自由に好きなことを書いて送信することができます。でもそれらの言葉はどこにも保存されないのです。そう、書いた文字は送信した時点で天国に送り出され痕跡はまったく残らないのです。そしてサイト自体も SSL を購入して暗号化通信をしています。
まったく意味のないサイト・・・でもここにメッセージを書くとなぜか少しだけホッとします。

皆さんもぜひこのサイトを使ってみてください。たまには収益を考えていないサイトのお話をしてもいいかと思いました。ちなみにこのサイト、2年前の開設から12,500回以上使われています。それが全部わたしでないことは事実です。

YOURHOST NEO
Once upon a time there was a big gap between generations when it came to understanding digital technologies. It was called the “Digital Divide”. Since then, it appears that the division has shrunk. The fact is, the younger generation has grown older with more tech knowledge and with technologies becoming easier to use. So the gap seems to be smaller, but the fact is, you do not need to know as much about the tech anymore.

It is like when cars moved from manual transmission to automatic. It appeared that people were driving better, but in reality cars just became a whole lot easier to drive. Now cars are moving toward self driving... does that mean people are driving better? No, it just means that people are not in charge anymore. Instead of people using technology, people will become passengers.

When I design software and services, I want to make sure we can do as much as we can to free up your time but I always remember who is ultimately in charge. We try to make sure you make no mistakes but that you are free to try out anything. At the same time, when you become stuck, our customer support, and entire company for that matter, is behind you to help you get unstuck from any situation.

PSPinc is just releasing a new Web and Email Hosting Platform called YourHost Neo. This is like a 5 speed manual muscle car - how you drive it is up to you. It is pure muscle and no fat, I wish I could say that about myself.

OPINION STAND- DIRECT FEEDBACK FROM CUSTOMERS

Hello from Kobe, Japan. I am on a business trip to Japan and I will be back in Seattle next Monday. I will spend my last two days in Seoul, Korea. With this little trip to Korea, I was able to cut my business class airfare expense by more than 50%. I can explain it more to you if you would like.

Today I would like to talk to you about the product called “Opinion Stand”. This system allows you to receive direct feedback from your customers. You may have seen something like this before but we have taken it to the next level.

KIOSK : This is a tablet-based opinion gathering system. People can simply press one of the faces on the tablet to give their feedback.

PAPYRUS : This is a QR code-based opinion gathering system. With this version of the system you can add a QR code to your product packaging, receipt or marketing materials. People can easily scan the QR code to display Opinion Stand on their smartphones.

KUMO : This option allows you to add opinion gathering buttons to your website.

After a person clicks on a face icon, we can provide an option to display a survey for entering additional feedback. The survey can be customized in any way you want. We also provide a dashboard where you can access the results of peoples’ opinions to help you understand the trends and patterns.

Take advantage of Opinion Stand by collecting not only customer feedback but also their contact information through our custom forms. You can create online forms to gather more feedback from your customers. This information can be priceless for your future marketing campaigns.

You may be wondering what we have been working on recently. We just released a new text message feature for Opinion Stand Papyrus. Opinion Stand users can now define a unique text message code, and when a customer texts that code to a specific phone number they are provided a link to get to the Opinion Stand screen instantly. This provides yet another easy way to interact with the Opinion Stand. It is our attempt to make Opinion Stand more versatile and useful for your business.

Lastly, we will be displaying Opinion Stand at the Restaurant Leadership Conference ( https://restaurantleadership.com ) in Phoenix, Arizona from March 22nd - 25th this year. We believe this is a premier event for restaurant businesses. We must thank Mr. Lewis Rudd for letting us know about this conference.

INTRODUCTION TO INFORMAKERS

Hello, this is Ken Uchikura from Tokyo. Yes, I am on a business trip to Tokyo. I left Seattle yesterday on a direct flight to Tokyo/Narita on a Japan Airlines flight. I used to fly JAL many years ago but they stopped flying to Seattle so I moved to Northwest Airlines which is now DELTA. For a few years, I used Air Canada and Asiana Airlines but both do not have direct flights to Tokyo. This is the first time I have flown JAL in many years. I found a way to save money on JAL Business Class to Japan. If you are interested, please email me and I will tell you my secret.

Sorry for the long introduction. Today I would like to talk to you about InforMakers. This is software we created to help our customers create custom web forms for their web sites. This is the software we used to create contact forms on many websites. It is easy-to-use and is very secure. If you are a Dreamersi web hosting customer, InforMakers is already a part of your system. You can create your own custom web form or you can ask us to build one for you quickly and inexpensively.

If you are not a Dreamersi customer, InforMakers is available as a SaaS (Software as a Service) to you as well. If you would like to know more about web form creation and operation, please contact us. We would be happy to help make your web site interactive.

NEWSMAIL- EMAIL BROADCASTING SERVICE FOR FREE
Hello, this is Ken Uchikura again from Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. in Bellevue, Washington. Thank you all for being our loyal customers. I am in charge and responsible for things happening within our company … good or bad. No, all the good things are a result of our dedicated and capable staff and all of the bad things are my fault. I guess that is what my job title suggests. Though personally, I like to spend time designing and developing services. That is the reason why I sit (live is the better word) in the R&D building.

One of the things that we are working on is called NewsMAIL. This is a service that is designed to allow you to broadcast email to customers, vendors, friends and family members. You can find the website at https://www.newsmail.com and it is a paid service … until now. We are making this email broadcasting system a part of Dreamersi web hosting without any additional fees. Yes, as a Dreamersi domain/web/email hosting customer, you will soon have access to NewsMAIL at no additional charge.

This is one way to have you use our services and our way of saying thank you for being our customer. We know you have many choices when it comes to domain/web/email hosting. If you are a Parcom, YourHost, or Fazewire hosting customer, the Dreamersi domain/web/email hosting service starts at only $250 per year and is an upgrade to your current service. We will be happy to move you to Dreamersi if you are interested. Please contact our support staff at 1-800-232-3989 or 425-957-0808.

We love talking with you. Thank you for reading my newsletter. Your comments are always welcome, especially when you have something to complain about.
