Having nearly been a victim of this myself only recently, i thought it prudent to share this information. In my instance I am fortunate enough to know the criminal and can take direct action but not all are so lucky. Stay safe people.

It always surprises me when i meet business owners that neglect to engage in regular marketing initiatives. When they are busy they have an excuse not to, but, when things get quiet, they scramble and look for solutions. Business growth needs consistent marketing and sales 'ACTIONS' I say say 'actions' because it is a verb and reminds us that we should be DOING something. - being busy is actually not an excuse, its an opportunity or a trap!

So What to do? The list is so long and its so easy to set yourself a daily or weekly marketing 'staple diet' that is as cheap as sending and email, SMS, phone call or client visit. Christmas is a great time for an impromptu pop in on your customers with a gift and general chat. In time, performing these regular Actions will become as natural as brushing your teeth in the morning (which should definitely be on your list - especially if you deal with customers). :)

"What have you done for me lately"?

The parity between our Business Relationships and Personal relationships is sometimes frighteningly similar. Our customers need and deserve regular appreciation and acknowledgment. PRODUCT SAMPLES are a nice way to say hello & thank you! :)

Did you know, 86% of Australians like receiving product samples.

Each quarter, the Australia Post Consumer Survey canvasses more than 2,000 Australians, regarding their attitudes towards communications, advertising and the channels marketers use. In September 2015, the survey looked at people's attitudes to receiving product samples, how often they prefer to receive them and how likely they are to purchase a product they sample.

This quarter's Better Connections report looks at people's attitudes to receiving product samples. It also considers how product samples affect purchasing behaviour and which samples are the most sought after.

Divergent Customers – Price vs. Value

There are two competing initiatives in the market for 2015/16. The first one is increased pricing pressure for anything that appears to be a commodity. I’m probably not the only person who has scanned a bar code in a big box store to have Google show me if there is a better price elsewhere (yes Google does this now!).

For those selling a perceived commodity, you’ll see more and more pricing pressure eat into your margins. This means you have to do one of two things: 1) Figure out a way to deliver a commodity more efficiently than others in your market; or 2) Develop a strategy to ensure that what you sell is not seen as a commodity. Nearly every business can differentiate itself. The shame is how many unique businesses make mistakes to turn their unique offering into a commodity. Top companies in 2015/16 will know if they compete on value or price, and avoid the opportunities that are not a fit.

Are you and your client focused on the same finish line? If not, you might cause a shift focus to price vs. value. Discover a better way.
