How to make your business Stand Out
Product- Offer a product which is unique or even trendy, or extend a product and offer a valuable service to make the product more useful to the customer.
Services - Same goes for a service. Many times this can be the packaging of a service as a product.
Market Niche - Carve out an industry or two and become the most dominant player serving that industry. A really nice bonus to this approach is you can usually raise your prices dramatically when you specialize in this manner.
Offer - One can become known by an offer one make. So, try to tailor-made an attractive offer which can make you known and can attract more clients.
How to Make your business Stand Out Message of Value - Many
times there are things that you do that don't get communicated. Extra that you provide or services you think should be included. Your positioning might just rest in more effectively communicating what you do.
Guarantee - You can offer a guarantee so strong that no one else in your industry would dream of doing it.
Customer Service - One of the greatest ways to kick this off is to over deliver on your first customer contact. Give them something more than you promised, give them a gift, give them a related service for free.
How to make your business Stand Out Against the competition -Try
to create your category niche by looking for holes in the offerings of your competitors. If everyone in industry fails to address a certain problem, grab on to solving that problem and use your competition as the point of difference.
Clues to uncovering your difference - Look at your current clients. What common elements exist among your best clients? Interview your clients. See if they can tell you why they chose to work with, why they stay, why they refer? Study your competitors more closely. What do they do that you could do better, what don't they offer they you could, how do they position themselves.
Communicate the difference - Once you find your chosen strategy or combination of strategies to differentiate your business, all of your advertising and promotion should be centered around shouting about that difference.
