June 5, 2020
It’s not easy to set your business apart from the rest, and the last thing you want is for your business to be yet-another-one that no one has heard about before. The scary truth is that 50% of companies fail within the first five years. Businesses close their doors for many different reasons, with a lack of differentiation being one of their main downfalls.
The importance of owning a business that stands out from its competition cannot be stressed enough – We know that you are aware of that already, but understanding the concept means nothing if you don’t put it into practice.
We have compiled five ways that you can be one step ahead of your competition at all times.
- Deliver incredible service:
Just saying that your business excels in customer service means nothing if it doesn’t get put into action. Talk is cheap, especially in business. If you want to swim with the big fish in your industry, you need to excel in customer service. You need to make sure that your service is better than everyone else’s by attending to each one of your clients on a personal level.
- Have an easy-to-understand product:
If the advantages of your product are vague, potential buyers will be quick to take their business elsewhere. Try to stay away from lengthy descriptions (unless specifically requested), and present a simple product with a clean layout that corresponds with your online advertisement, social media pages and website.
- Strong web presence:
Since we are on the topic of websites… Keep in mind that most people in your industry probably doesn’t have an outstanding web presence yet, which gives you the ideal opportunity to set yourself apart. If you are determined to stand out from your competition, implement a user-friendly, highly functional web presence to your marketing strategy. You will have an even more significant advantage if you have a well thought out social media strategy too.
- Never compromise on quality:
There is no use in spending valuable resources on perfecting your marketing strategy if the product itself still needs some work. It doesn’t matter how hard you sell your product, what keeps clients coming back for more is a great quality product. This is probably the most fundamental principle in business but is more relevant today than ever.
- Create a memorable culture:
Creating an influential company culture helps you to attract and keep customers and is actually considered to be a powerful marketing tool. Consider how you can make life easier for your team so that they can focus on excelling in their work. Focus on having fun at work; If employees are happy, it will reflect positively on the entire business.
