The challenge of differentiating your products

Have you noticed that there are lots of products out there these days that look exactly like other products. When you go to the store to purchase something you have a choice between tens of products that seem identical. Many people finally choose based on the price of the different items, but they wish they could figure out some other difference. They can buy an insecticide that kills bees or they can buy another one that kills bees. How can you tell which is better than the other? In many cases there is no difference, which should tell you something if you are trying to sell a product. Product differentiation is a very important part of marketing and selling a product or service. Differentiation refers to the process of altering your product just enough to make it stand out from all the rest. When you develop a new product you need to always ask yourself if it is different from the other ones that will sit next to it on the shelf. However, this can be a fairly difficult thing to do because there are so many products and good ideas out there. Just taking a look at the products on the shelf of your local department store makes it perfectly clear that you have a challenge in front of you.

One of the most important components of successful marketing is product differentiation.If you don't know how to differentiate your products, then your marketing campaign and your business are, essentially and blatantly, doomed.

What's Your Business Model?

When starting a business one very important questions you're going to want to ask right at first, is, "How are we going to bring in money?"It is important to carry a product, it is important to advertise a product, but if you don't know the value of what you are offering the consumer nor have you decided how to market and deliver your product, you are unlikely to be successful in selling your product for long.

Even a child who opens a lemonade stand (though they may not know it) has a business model. The example of a child at a lemonade stand would be a, "Cutting out the Middle Man," business model. Meaning the child, the manufacture, sells directly to its consumer, rather than using a distributor, or sales agent. By thus cutting out the middle man the child can reduce the price of the lemonade making it more affordable (which generally makes it more desirable) to the consumer.

Need a New Idea? Try Changing Your Perspective

One definition of creativity states that creative people look at the same thing everyone else does, yet they see something no one else does.

But even creative people (which includes all of you, of course) can run into roadblocks every now and then. Sometimes it's not possible to see something different. Sometimes you've just been staring at a problem for so long it's now impossible to look at it in any other way.

So what do you do in these situations?

Why not try changing your perspective?

Consider this: A friend of mind who does needlepoint has a design that's mostly black. Rather than simply stitching the design on white canvas with black thread, she's using a black canvas and is stitching the negative aspects of the design instead of the positive.

She changed the way she viewed the problem. And now she has a really cool-looking needlepoint design that's different from most other ones out there.

Or what about this: An art teacher has her students turn a photograph or object upside down and paint what they see -- not a picture but an arrangement of shapes.

Cicadas and Brilliance In Marketing

I have found another nugget of marketing brilliance that I want to share with aspiring entrepreneurs around the world. In this example of marketing brilliance, you will see how innovation and careful planning can result in a brilliant idea and resulting profits.

In the Indiana/Ohio border region there is a 17-year phenomenon that is about to happen this summer. Cicadas will be coming out from their 17-year burrows to eat and breed by the millions.

During the short life-cycle of Cicadas in this region, people will be plagued by Cicadas landing on every surface, getting into every barbecue and backyard party in the area. Women will shriek, pulling Cicadas out of their hair in disgust and fear.

Do you smell opportunity? Well, the folks at https://cicadanator.com sure did, and they are cashing in BIG time!
