As we get closer to Halloween, I am reminded of something that is really frustrating, especially for folk trying to run small businesses.
GHOSTING
What is ghosting? Sending messages or asking questions in comments and then not responding to replies.
I accidentally pressed 'message' to another business this morning and didn't even realise ( sneaky FB platform layout) but I received an auto message saying a member of their team will get in touch later. Rather than waste their precious time later I simply messaged back 'msg'd by mistake'. They sent a blushing smiley face and a thumbs up. All done and dusted.
Please if you ask for details and then are not interested, rather than leave me wondering if you want to book, a simple 'thanks , maybe another time' or something, saves a business like mine so much 'out of hours' admin time. π.
