Celebrating PSPINC’s 37th Anniversary!

Jul

7

Exactly 37 years ago today in 1987, our founder and CEO, Kenichi Uchikura, started Pacific Software Publishing Inc. (PSPINC) by popularizing the PC in Japan using already-established U.S. software technology and growing the Japanese market. All from the comfort of his apartment. Since then, PSPINC has grown into what it is today, focusing on proprietary business applications and digital services, and we could not be prouder of the work we’ve achieved thus far! Just in the past year alone, we’ve made it even easier for small businesses by creating and developing:

Biznomos: our new business association management software (more details to come soon!)
eCommerce setup packages
Google Ad Marketing Packages – currently on sale for up to $300 of free Google Ad credit!
Website content creation packages
WebdeReserve: a quick and convenient event registration system

We’re committed to helping small businesses grow online, no matter where you are in your business journey.

Thank you to our customers and employees today and over the years for helping us get to where we are today. Happy 37th anniversary and here’s to many more!

What’s New Newsletter Vol. 225 “The Importance of Web Hosting”

Jun

20

Web hosting is the infrastructure that keeps your website running on the internet, so it’s important to have a reliable web hosting provider to ensure it’s up and running 24/7. But as simple as it seems, web hosting involves several different things, including:

Accessibility and performance: web hosting lets people access your website and ensures it runs smoothly 24/7.
Domain name services: every website needs a domain name, usually coming from a web hosting provider.
Technical support and maintenance: when website owners need to ask questions or troubleshoot their website, web hosting providers generally offer tech support with a high uptime (99.9%).
Custom email addresses: many hosting providers, PSPINC included, also offer email hosting services where website owners can create custom email addresses with their domain, which improves your professional reputation.

Dreamersi is PSPINC’s premiere web and email hosting service, making it easy for customers to get a professional website up and running in just 15 minutes. With decades of experience, our team has the expertise you need to keep your website running with ease. Get started today.

What is a CRM?

Jun

11

CRM, or Customer Relationship Management, typically refers to a business’s practices, strategies, and technologies to manage and analyze customer data. Generally, when people talk about a CRM, they’re generally referring to a CRM system or software. With effective CRM software, you can track your business’s growth while streamlining customer management with a data-driven approach.

Benefits of CRM Software

So, why should you use a CRM for your business? For its many benefits, which include:

Improved customer service

With CRM software, your business can easily track a customer’s every interaction, from social media likes to phone calls, which gives you more insight into a customer’s overall journey with your company from beginning to end. In fact, we use our own free CRM software, PSP Pilot, to do just that. Being equipped with this knowledge will therefore lead to understanding your customers better, improving your overall interactions, and building stronger relationships.

Data-driven decisions

The abundance of customer data a CRM provides isn’t just beneficial in running your business efficiently, but it can also influence future decisions that are driven by data. A CRM may reveal overarching trends amongst multiple customers, which can persuade upper management to work towards fixing any problems or fulfill a need that’s currently lacking.

Enhanced collaboration

CRM software doesn’t just help salespeople manage customers, it’s also instrumental in enhancing communication between coworkers, especially those in different departments. With CRM software, everyone can access the same data which then fosters a much more collaborative workplace.

Sales and Conversions Boosts

CRM software creates a clear picture of the sales pipeline, simplifying the overall process of tracking leads and sales transactions and empowering your sales team with the data they need to prioritize qualified leads and close deals faster. With an AI-powered CRM system, automating tasks could also be a possibility.

Today, having a CRM for your business is crucial, regardless of how big or small your company is. With how competitive the business sector is today, employing an effective CRM for your business will only make it easier to streamline overall operations and grow your business. If you're looking for CRM software for your business, consider our free CRM solution, PSP Pilot, to better manage your business.

What’s New Newsletter Vol. 220 “Company Blogs”

May

16

You may have noticed that many businesses have a blog section on their website. While it can be great for announcing sales and pertinent company changes, businesses can use a company blog for more than just newsworthy topics. You can also use a company blog to build credibility with content marketing.

Content marketing is the creation and sharing of digital content and is non-promotional in nature. Since blogs are generally longer-form content, businesses can demonstrate their expertise while educating their customers as well as potential customers. You can add the blog as a separate page on your website or move it to a blogging platform like Bloguru. As a free blogging platform without ads, setting up your company blog has never been easier. Get started by going to bloguru.com.

What’s New Newsletter Vol. 219 “Reach International Customers with Localization”

May

9

Every international audience is different. Not just in their language, but also in how they behave and how their culture informs their decision-making. For businesses looking to branch out internationally, localizing their content effectively is vital to appealing to those audiences. That’s where localization comes in. It’s about more than simply translating written content from English to another language, it’s also about making sure the meaning of those words translates over.

In the 90s, PSPINC was known as “Double Byte Specialists” specifically because of our experience and expertise in localizing content between English and Japanese. Today, we continue using that expertise to build software and offer our U.S. and Japanese customers services. If you’re looking to localize your content for your Japanese audience, our expert team is always ready to help!

What are (Web) Cookies and How Do Marketers Use Them?

Apr

30

If you’ve spent enough time online, you’ve probably heard of the term “cookies” before. But what does it mean? A cookie, also known as HTTP cookies or web cookies, is a code snippet added to a web browser when a user visits a certain website and consents to the website’s use of cookies. The user’s browser then stores that code over a predetermined time set by its creators or until a user deletes it, changing how browsers interact with certain websites.

So, how do you know when cookies are in action? If you’ve ever experienced these encounters, that’s how you know:

Returned to a website where you’re automatically signed in.
Found items still in your shopping cart.
Saw the physical store location you picked last time on an e-commerce site you’ve been on before.
Discovered the product you were looking at during another session advertised in your email or on another website.
Checked out a purchase with your payment and shipping preference already stored and selected.

How Do Marketers Use Cookies?

With cookies, digital marketers can learn more about users coming onto their sites and better track users’ behavior on their websites. Knowing how people behave makes it easier to target potential customers and market to your users in the future since it’ll give you a good idea of what works and what doesn’t work on your website.

What marketers use cookies for:

Targeting: more user data and behavioral information that will help define target audience groups.
Personalization: after signing up for an email newsletter or purchasing a product on a website, cookies will remember the info users have filled in for the next time they come to that website.
Tracking: with more data on users, marketers can then use that data to better market in the future with targeted marketing campaigns.

Overall, cookies can be an invaluable tool for marketers. With the ability to collect more user data, marketers can use all of that to optimize their future marketing campaigns, resulting in more effective efforts.
