BEYOND THE UNIQUE SELLING POINTS


Understanding why transport union of Ibadan religiously subscribe to "micra" while Ilorin's transport union heavily gravitate towards "Mazda 323" can help in understanding how masses make their decisions in consumption, politics and values.

A good marketer will identify this preference and tailor supply to such need. While an exceptional marketer will de-mystify the mystery. Just like the anecdote of two men sent to sell a product of sandal in a town. When they got there, they discovered to their dismay that the people walked bare-footed. Upon return to their companies, the first said he needed to find another town as the town was dead to the product. The second said that the town was full of business opportunities that all he needed was time to convince them.

An exceptional marketer will do an analysis through interrogation and engagement at Ibadan to establish reasons for the religious attachment to Micra and do the same at Ilorin to get reasons for their heavy use of Mazda 323 open-and-close headlight. After establishing such facts, he or she is already armed with sell-able points for each type of car and can sell as they so please.

Akintola Sterlyn-Rasheed in response expatiated further ‎"To buttress your last assertion, a good marketer should be an individual who could sell sand at the beach, no matter what type of Vehicle you chose to use as a taxi, your ambience and certain strategies would make you stand out in a group of many. Your income and expenditure target would determine the type of vehicle to use, putting cost of procurement, cost of maintenance as well as running cost into consideration.Business is sweet only if you know how to play the game."‎

Ba'mi Kehinde Ayoola J P  then nomenclated it as USP "Unique Selling Points" that which Akintola has detailed. Blackberry has its USP (bbm) but yet the company falters. The quest is simple: you understand your market. Ours is a fast generation, and we become wary of monotonous value. The excitement lies in a constant change and upgrade.




Blackberry falters and Android OS soars. While USP is quite important, a marketer should be conscious of potential entrants in a market that's richly yielding. Android OS onboards those that could have become potential competitors: design an app and get returns. Bring your business and I give you my patent.

Like a gas dealer enters a village full of kerosene users, instead of focusing solely on retail-end. Why not onboard the kerosene suppliers? Give 'em your patent, a fair share of your profit and your detractors would be your facilitators.

Brentford Beat Blundering Gunner Two Goal To Nil

  The start of EPL came with Arteta still unable to  fumble out of his not-too-convincing career in Arsenal. Brentford came roaring from relegation to beat Arsenal who dream of getting to top four this season. But like their pre-season, a miscarriage of dreams, they fell a goal behind to Brentford through Canos super strike. From that moment forward, Brentford became the Bully, created more chances and Arsenal passed sideways as if the goal post was at the corner flag. Anyways, White white-out on the field, the presence of 50 million bargain wasn't felt. Mari was too casual for a defender. Tierney will soon burn out. Chambers tried his chambers-efforts. Upfront Balogun was starved of direct passes. Pepe will never pepper any defender except when he is in luck. The dude cannot be consistent except he sees a man-manager. Smith is a ball-smith but combined with Xhaka sideways and momentary slip & sleep off, Smith Rowe just rowing to a fruitless breeze. Martinelli needs to man...

EPLWATCH 19th week

#ARSLIV In an exciting encounter, a better Liverpool attacks were shadowed by their woeful defence as Arsenal's lucky flashes of brilliance equalled the scoreline. Sallah lived large like an Egyptian god as he wiggled freely. Sanchez, though below par, got a goal. Xhaka reminded us his shooting grace but his woeful defence was a concern. TakeHome: A team's character ain't completed until her shoulder can bear the burden of relentless attack that she subjects her opponents to. Klopp should note! ‎#EVECHE It was a bleak afternoon for Conte's guys. A sterile performance as the false nine strategy produced no goal. Everton almost punished them with Pickford keeping Chelsea out. TakeHome: Being a champion is difficult and what is more difficult is staying a champion. Conte will definitely tell you that it's gruelling. ‎#MCIBOR The citizens' winning stretches to 17 games. Aguero was back to his leading role as David Silva dictated tunes and Sterling ...

Of Nigerian HR and the Teeming Youths

There’s a thin line of difference between being boisterous and confident. Also, the determination of what is rude is often how the expression is perceived. HR Taiwo interviewed this brilliant dude who wanted to impress her with a simple compliment of “you smell nice”. HR Taiwo retorted “you are rude!” Twitter went agog with varying ideas. While some concluded that Nigerian HR acted like a mini-god, some decried the audacity of the guy. What was HR expecting? A respectful "ma" to follow? Or she regarded the compliment as audacious flirting? What was the interviewee trying to achieve also? A memorable closure to the interview? Or a simple display of his confidence? I understand she was too harsh with the retort but people can be that difficult. As an interviewee, do not allow yourself to be goaded into a position where such unruly interviewer will have a chance to hack you down. Flamboyant confidence can maim your chance with sadists on the seat "You smell nice"...
