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...

Lampard Outclassed the Master: Chelsea dealt Spurs two goals to Nil

Chelsea took the bulling Spurs by the horns: no cautiousness but direct attack. Mourinho was defeated. Chelsea guys didnt come with a respect for the master but they were all brimming to establish dominance which they did. Rudiger was a no-nonsense man, manning the defense. Zouma still un-fooballer-like but always decent.Tomori, your model footballer, tidy through the game. Kovacic was silent but stringing passes. Kante was a beast that made me imagined a combo of him with a De Bruyne in a midfield will be almost unbeatable. While Abraham and Mount were decent, William was the Marshall that Spurs couldnt handle. His every touch weakened the Spurs defense. He got the first goal and converted the other.  The game was all blue and Spurs were all kung-fu fighting. Son got a red card. The goalie a yellow.  Welcome back to Premier League, Mourinho. --toonday  

DECLUTTERING AND DEATH CLEANING:THE LIVING AND THE KINDNESS IN OUR DYING

Living is a quadratic equation with a pre-determined answer (death) yet we keep trying to solve the equation. Year 2017 gave a fair share of answers to many lives. From international, national, to local personalities, lives were lost. To us, at first it appeared a distant reality until someone close to us succumbed to that harsh reality. To the young, it's a distant rumor. To the old, constant topic heavily brooded. If living is an act of dying, how can we then be gracious in dying? I came across this term: death cleaning and alas it's the much needed answer. How we can shroud in our living (dying) the preparatory kindness that can live after us and make neighbors happy?  Every breathing being will one day taste death.  No amount of science, or achievement, or bitterness or super-humanness can change that. If so, won't we live in all preparation for the constant exit? Death cleaning is a Swedish term that describes a conscious and deliberate preparation for death...
