Attracting and Keeping Customers in Crucial market conditions

There are several Keys to Attracting and Keeping Customers in Crucial market conditions. However, based on the knowledge I have acquired from industries, I have the following suggestions for entrepreneurs:

  • Culture: Create a culture of having customers and prospects at the top of your organizational chart so that your beliefs, values, and behaviours emphasize on superior customer value and continual quest for new source of value; and then refine cross-functional teams to be more customer focused.

  •  Market Sensing: Continuous Sensing or studying emerging market trends and opportunities; reading and understanding customers and prospects so well that their choices, aspirations, needs , priorities and frame of reference are better understood.

  • Market Relating: Cordial Market Relating is necessary for creating and maintaining better relationship with customers such that a bond is formed between your firm and them, and competition is not considered during purchase decision.
  • Competitive Sensing: While sensing happenings in the  market landscapes, you will also anticipate competitive moves that aim to attack your weak points. . With aggressive competitive posture, Jack Welsh of GE advised his managers to “Hit their competitors before they are big enough for it to be a fair fight”.
  • Anticipatory Strategic Thinking: The clarity of what you will continuously learn about the markets and competitive moves will help us devise winning strategies that anticipates rather than react to market threats, changing conditions and opportunities. This will helpyou make accurate fact-based decisions for market success.

It's yes because two powerful states in Asia: China and Russia have consolidated authoritarian regime, that the end points may not be visible soon.  These two forces are working tirelessly to globalize oligarchy and authoritarianism. Their gospels has been noised abroad. Their influences influences have been displayed in some nations (with pseudo democracy) in the global south,  In Africa, liberal democracy have been badly weaken by the character of people in leadership: abuse of offices, stealing of public funds without questions and necessary punishments, plus rigging of presidential elections, leading to changing fortunes ànd quagmires. Beside, the curent hyper-inflation in Nigeria is blamed on the recent resurgence of Adams Smith and liberal economics doctrines (and partly by loyalty to Washington consensus: policies and insititios designed by the US government to globalize capitalism and it's associated cultural systems).

Sweet Spot

How do you create a digital strategy that involves customers in an energized social community?  How do you create an engaged, active “go-to” website?   Prophet's David Aaaker says, You must change the orientation of marketing from selling the offering, the brand, and firm to becoming an active partner with a shared interest program around a customer’s “sweet spot.” A sweet spot reflects customers’ “thinking and doing” time, beliefs and values, activities and passions, possessions or places they treasure. Ideally, it would be a part of, if not central to, their self-identity and lifestyle and reflect a higher-order value proposition, much beyond the benefits provided by the offering. To illustrate, Pampers went beyond diapers by creating the Pampers Village community that provides a “go to” place for all issues relating to babies and child care. Its five sections – pregnancy, newborn, baby, toddler, and preschooler – all have a menu of topics. Its online commu

 Umpqua Bank competes in the pacific northwest, united states, turns the conventional idea of brand category upside down. Most consumers would never describe  a bank transaction a soul-satisfying, but Oregun-based  Umpqua Bank   become affiliated with cafe/retail categories in order to establish points-of-difference between itself nd other banks.
