Home businesses most always have a product. Let us speak about the
product for a minute. Many of them have a product that a consumer could
potentially find at a store somewhere. So what makes your home business
product something that someone is going to come to you for?
For many companies they say their product is better
in some way or another, due to some specific ingredient available or
potentially they removed a harmful ingredient. Potentially their product
has a patent or has won some awards to demonstrate its superiority.
Consumers want proof or do they?
Generally speaking you don’t go
to the local fast food place and ask what kind of meat you are eating
or how it was processed. You buy it because it is convenient right? You
need the food fast so that you can get to the next destination on time.
Does your business offer shipping are they a direct seller? You know the
famous saying, can I get fries with that? Only now your consumer is
asking may I shop from the comfort of my pajamas and then my order be
shipped to my door?
What happens when you go to the store…are there little commercials
next to each item stating which is better or more convenient? No, but
suddenly you are the commercial! Be careful here folks, if you read
above it says what makes your product something that someone is going to
come to you for? Everyone has product, but not everyone is you. You are
the difference! Your personality and attitude, everything is about you
now, the consumer is watching your every word and move! So let us just
say that you are the commercial for your product and during that
commercial suddenly your products are the best there are on the market
and everyone else’s products are horrible. You also have ways to save
the consumer money. So all in all it looks like a wonderful deal. In
fact to some it may look like a too good to be true deal! Do you want
someone bashing your business or products? You may have just lost your
first potential client!
Promote your product, and promote
yourself! You do this by simply not bashing your competitor. This goes
back to the Golden Rule of treating others how you wish to be treated!
There simply is no perfect product out there. It hasn’t been created
yet! The one thing I have noticed about stores, they keep their doors
open, consumers go in and out of them daily! Consumers don’t want to be
locked in or committed in any way, allow them free reign. You might be
surprised at their response!
