Problem: Article: Whenever a customer makes an order you will collect their email address so it's important to keep a good and safe register of your customers' contact details. In addition to this, you should make it possible for potential customers to easily register with your website using their email address even if they don't buy anything this time. A register of users is a very useful resource for marketing and surveying your customer base and should be treated as such. You need to guarantee that your customers' personal and financial details submitted through your website are kept secure. A regular email to all your registered customers can be a very effective way to promote specific products or time-limited special offers. It's important to exercise careful judgement when sending out unsolicited communications to your customers, as nothing will turn people off as much as spam. You should tightly control your email newsletters, and only send out messages when you have something important to promote. Too frequent emails will be annoying, but too few will mean that they might forget about your store. Ensure that the email is well-crafted and matches the visual theme of your website and branding. Increase your presence and brand-awareness by getting involved in online discussion groups around relevant topics to your store. For example, if you sell specialist teas you can contribute to forums for tea lovers and enthusiasts. But be sure to tread lightly when you do this. Don't engage in any hard selling or explicit advertising as it will not go down well. Keep your online store's URL in your signature, but don't over-promote your business. Don't just think of it advertising, but connecting with potential customers. It could give you ideas for new product lines or avenues to explore. Keep a close eye on any feedback you receive on review websites as well as in direct contact with customers. It's important to know what people are saying and what the perception of your company is. If appropriate, respond politely to feedback and try to resolve any issue quickly and amicably. With social media it's possible for a minor problem to quickly escalate and gain you unwanted publicity.
Summary: Maintain a register of customers. Send a regular email newsletter. Be active in relevant online discussions. Follow your feedback.

Problem: Article: Warm 1/2 a cup of butter or oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Use your fingers to apply to damaged hair. Be sure to thoroughly coat the hair and pay special attention to soak the tips, which generally have the most damage. Cover with a shower cap. You may need to wrap a towel around your head and hair to keep the oil from running. Leave in for 30-45 minutes. Shampoo as usual and rinse the hair thoroughly. Mix an avocado with an egg. Be sure to remove the pit from the avocado. Apply to hair and leave in for a minimum of 20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. The egg will supply some protein nutrients to your hair, and the avocado is full of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids that will help bring back a shine to your hair. Honey is a natural humectant, so it can attract and retain moisture to replenish your dry hair. Add a couple teaspoons of honey to your regular conditioner. Be sure not to leave any honey treatments in your hair too long. Honey can be very sticky once it cools and dries. You can make a variety of hair masks at home using a number of oils and simple ingredients. Just create the mask and add it to wet hair. Put a shower cap on to cover or a layer of plastic.

Everyone has different hair, so some ingredients may give better results than others.
Summary: Treat dry hair with butter or olive oil. Restore shine with avocado. Use honey regularly. Make a homemade hair mask.

Problem: Article: Hold both ends of the scarf in either hand. Make sure there is equal of amount of scarf on either side of your neck. Bring the scarf up and toward your neck. Repeat this with the other side by holding the bottom of the other side of the scarf and placing it over your other shoulder so that both ends of the scarf are on your back. Make sure the scarf is close to your neck but not too tight. Leave about 4in (10cm) between the scarf and your neck. This piece of the scarf is now on the front side of your body. Repeat this with the other side by bringing the edge of the other side of the scarf around your neck and placing it in front. This will create multiple loops around your neck. Make sure you are not looping the scarf too tightly around your neck. You should be able to fit at least 4 fingers between your neck and the scarf loops. Tuck the ends of the scarf into the loops you have created. Once there is not enough scarf to make another loop, simply stick each end of the scarf into a space between the loops.
Summary: Place the scarf around the back of your neck. Hold the edge of the scarf and place it over your shoulder. Bring the end of the scarf around your neck and place it in front. Repeat wrapping both sides of the scarf around your neck.

Problem: Article: mosquitoes like still water, so if you are in a mosquito-infested area, try to avoid lakes, swamps, stagnant creeks, marshes, and bogs. mosquitoes typically lay their eggs in these locations, and many species then stay in the vicinity. mosquitoes can also lay eggs in smaller containers, like flowerpots, bird baths, and drainage ditches, as long as there is sufficient water. The eggs of the Aedes aegypti mosquito can even stay in dry places for months, waiting for water; then, when water appears, they hatch. Therefore, be cautious of any man-made sources of standing water as well: whenever possible, keep pools, ditches, tires, containers, storm drains, and any low places on a piece of property covered. mosquitoes are attracted to warm-blooded creatures. Avoid wearing dark clothes in the sunlight, as they absorb more heat, and don't exercise too strenuously, as you will get warmer and breathe more heavily, attracting mosquitoes with the carbon dioxide you exhale. Wear long sleeves, long pants, and loose clothing, and look for fabric that's not too thin mosquitoes can bite you through very thin material. Consider purchasing special camping clothes, which are made from lightweight but sturdy fabric. There are a variety of products on the market to repel mosquitoes, and they come in creams, lotions, sprays, and sticks. Apply directly to your skin when outdoors, and, if you will also be using sunscreen, be sure to put the sunscreen on first, then the mosquito repellant. Avoid applying repellant around your eyes, mouth, and hands, and do not apply to irritated or broken areas of skin. Look for products containing 15% picaridin, which is a very effective repellant. Look for products containing 30%-50% DEET, an oil that will keep mosquitoes away. These products are effective for a few hours after application. Do not apply products with DEET to babies under six months of age. Products vary, so follow the directions on the label. Make sure to help small children; do not allow them to handle mosquito repellants themselves. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is a daytime insect, most active from two hours after sunrise to a few hours before sunset. Research local species of mosquitoes, and try to adjust your activities accordingly. Fine-mesh aluminum or wire screens should cover windows and doorways. To be safest, keep doors and windows closed as well. Mosquito nets have very small holes that allow air to pass through but keep insects out. Secure the net to one or more surfaces, and hang it in such a way that it does not touch you mosquitoes can bite you through it. Consider looking for mosquito nets that are pretreated with insect repellants. These are typically used for malaria control, but they may work to prevent yellow fever as well. Remember to check your mosquito net periodically for holes, and fix them immediately if you see any. Malathion, permethrin, and other insecticides will kill many mosquitoes, as will other commercial preparations made for inside spaces, but they are also very poisonous and should not be used by just anyone you need to be properly trained and equipped with protective clothing.
Summary:
Avoid standing water. Keep cool. Cover your skin. Use mosquito repellant. Avoid peak hours of mosquito activity. Stay in well-screened or air-conditioned rooms or houses. Sleep under a mosquito net. Consider spraying insecticides.
