They are often caught up with the pressure to avoid defaults in fees payments. Another thing which is crucial for parents is to attend all the Parent Teacher Meetings (PTMs) from time to time. Even a small slip off from their mind could be problematic for them.
Everyday checking the school diaries if their have got some homeworks, assignments of remarks could be very tiring at times. And to keep updated with all the mentioned tasks require the parents to be hands-on all the times. This might be very hectic at times for the parents especially when they are already caught up with busy schedules.

Happy customers are repeat customers. It takes time and knowledge of these precious assets to initially locate them, convert a lead into a sale and then provide the after-care that means they come back to you again and again.
If you need help with growing your database of happy customers, here are 10 tips for customer service success:
1. INTERACTION
Know the names of your customers and treat them as individuals. Show you care through using names when conversing on social media and add an extra touch by signing tweets or comments off with the name of the person they are dealing with: it turns a faceless interaction into a personal relationship.
2. RESPECT YOUR CUSTOMER
If a customer has an issue, give them the opportunity to air their concern. Be respectful of their current mood to show you’ve listened.
3. DON’T STOP LISTENING
Always listen to what your customers are saying. Methods like focus groups and surveys let you know what your customers want to tell you and their feedback should be used to form your future strategies.

Do Keep your SMS Content Short
Whether you’re sending a booking reminder, delivery confirmation or a seasonal offer, remember to keep it short and crisp. You could also use Textlocal Attachments to attach files and create a small, succinct message to convey more in just 160 characters.
Do Include a Clear Call to Action
SMS messages are short. Just 160 characters long. One of the best ways to craft an effective message is to use the “5 W’s and one H” of journalism – Who, What, Where, When, Why & How. The last W (Why) and the H (How) are the best foundation for your call-to-action (CTA). You’re actually telling customers what to do after they read your SMS marketing message. Example: WHY – to get your coupon; HOW – by texting the keyword to a short code.
Do Give Customers the Opportunity to Opt-Out
Customers may have given consent to receive marketing communications before, but sometimes they change their mind. Act responsibly and give them an option to opt out at the end of the text. It benefits your business too, so you’re not wasting money targeting a cold prospect. Keep your mobile list warm and you’ll see better results.
