Are Five Things You Can
Do To Make Your Company
A Super-Force To Be Reckoned With!
Regardless
of the actual size of your company, you can give your company
the appearance of a super-force if you will follow these
five guidelines:
1.
Select a name that is short, easy to remember, and that
describes your business.
When
it comes to your business name, don't be too specific. Your
business may grow beyond what your name implies. For example,
you may choose the name "Mary's Balloon Shop"
for your balloon shop. But, what if you decide in a year
to start to sell gifts and cards as well. So, a better name
to begin with might be "Mary's Gift Shop."
2.
Create a niche in the market that can be yours.
The
best way to create your niche in the market is by checking
out the competition. You must find something that your customers
want and need but can't get from anyone else. Then, you
will have your niche that can make your business super-profitable.
Your niche might change over time, but you must always search
to find something to give your customers that they can't
get anywhere else!
3.
Visually implant your image into the minds of your prospects
with a company logo.
You
want people to remember your company by your logo. It creates
a visual picture. What do you think of when I say "the
golden arches!" That's right! McDonalds! Your business
needs a logo that people can think of in relation to your
business. It creates a visual picture.
There
are other ways to visually implant your image into the minds
of your prospects. You can put a picture of yourself at
the top of the first page of your sales letter. Also, you
can use a "catch phrase" such as "it's everywhere
you want to be!" Who says that? Of course, it's Visa
Credit Card!
4.
Create a down-to-earth, yet professional, identity.
You
must be personal, yet professional. Write your sales letters
to one person, not the masses. Do not speak down to your
customers, but use easy-to-understand words. Treat them
like a close friend that you are sharing information with.
And, be careful with your language. You don't want to say
anything that would offend your prospect!
5.
Be able to handle large volumes of mail.
Be
sure that your mailbox can handle large volumes of mail.
This probably means that you won't be able to use your own
mailbox. You would be wise to get a mail-drop that allows
you to use a street address rather than a post office box.
If you have an actual street address, people will be more
likely to do business with you.
These
five things will help give your business the appearance
of a large company that is to be taken very seriously! Do
these five things, and your customers will treat you more
like you are worthy of spending their money on. If they
get the feeling that you are a small-time operation that
can't serve their needs, they will not do business with
you!
