Will You Add? - Indian Fashion Retailers Looking To Thrive
I've recently bought a computer system, taken my family to a theme park and flown on an airline that were all rated tops in their fields for service. They had won awards and were widely cited as leading examples of service quality in action.I ended up being disappointed. Not that the service was bad - compared with others in their industries, they were clearly better. But I had expected much more.For example, the computer sales representative had touted his company's No. 1 service ranking in a highly recognized survey. That was the key reason I bought the system. Yet my calls for installation, trouble-shooting and integration with other hardware and software weren't the hassle-free encounters I had expected.The service people turned out to be fallible human beings who had some trouble answering the phone. They were better than most of the others I'd dealt with in the computer industry. But in an industry that pays scant attention to customer support, that's not saying much.This is important to understanding what causes poor customer service. It is not always a question of performance; it can be about expectations, as well.To attract new cus

Welding helmets are one of the most common accessories for someone engaged in welding. Indeed, the popular vision of the welder would not be complete without the helmet. Our national mythology includes the image of Rosie the Riveter and her welding sisters wearing welding helmets and protective face plating. But, what should you know about welding helmets before acquiring and using them? What common questions should you ask concerning welding helmets?The first question to ask is what is the lens shade, and which one should be used for eye protection? A common misconception is that the lens shade number equates to the amount of protection given to the eyes. These people think that the higher the number, the more protection provided. Not so. The number, much like sunglasses, indicates the darkness provided the shade and should be used to select the most comfortable shade. Most welding experts suggest selecting a shade that lets you see the weld puddle most clearly and the one that helps you the most when welding.The second common question is, that self-darkening helmets don’t start to darken until the welding arc is fired, giving a split second without ap

Everything you do is linked directly to your Personal Brand. As entrepreneurs and small business owners, we have a distinct advantage that larger companies do not. When it comes to our brands, we have the ability to get very personal.Larger companies strive to establish a relationship with their target audience by making their brand feel more personal or relatable. This is one of the reasons why spokespeople are such a commodity – larger companies piggy back off of the relationship an audience has with that spokesperson. Those experiences are then tied directly to their product or service thanks to the Personal Brand draw of their spokesperson.Take Tiger Woods for example. W hen he is hired by Nike to represent their latest ad campaign, the mere image of him stands for perseverance, determination and overall excellence. Nike benefits from those perceptions simply by having Tigers brand lined up with theirs.You don’t have to take such expensive measures, as a small business owner, because you have the ideal spokesperson to represent your brand – YOU!With that said, there are 7 keys (the 7 C’s) your brand must pos

This was in light of new technologies that had just become available.They have 60% of the available business with this product and their closest competitor, Company B, has 14% of the market.Company C has about 10%.The other 16% is held by several small companies that sell a substitute product of lower cost but inferior performance.Company A calculated the cost of reducing manufacturing cost. They then calculated the return on investment (ROI). The return was less than the 15% required by company management.A Board member with an accounting degree and banking experience said the technology looked “shaky” to him.Some board members agreed with him.The company’s engineering director said the assumption was wrong, that the technology would function as described.The Board rejected the modernization plan.Company A continued to unde

Having been involved in the franchising industry I have seen a lot of well-intentioned advertisements that simply did not pull and often I would cringe when I looked at some of those ads. But it was not just our franchise company franchisees that needed help, truly it is most all small business people.We finally instituted a plan that our franchisees had to fax us a copy of their ad 24-hours prior to sending in for publication, if they did not hear back from us in 12-hours it was automatically approved. The turn around had to be fast, as we did not want our franchisees to miss a deadline or marketing opportunity and we know people wait until the last minute. Also we wanted sales and for them to make money as that is the goal in business.That first year we rejected about 50% of the advertising display type ads and radio blurbs. A funny thing happened by not too unpredictable. You see the franchisees would send fax in the ads on Saturday night at 10 PM hoping we would not see them and they would be automatically approved for fear we might reject them at HQ. It was obvious we needed some help here. So, we revised the advertising in our Confidential Operations Manu
