Doing more than what is required or running the extra mile is the secret of every successful businessman.
Several years ago, a young entrepreneur entered the garments industry. Being in the garment business, it always entails the need to check and learn the latest fashion trend specifically from developed countries to be able to compete in the market. In most situations, the cost for materials (fabric) used on every new fashion trend are quite expensive.
“Less fabric used, the higher the earnings”. Majority of entrepreneurs who are into garment business will do everything they can by stretching a millimeter extra fabric to keep the cash registers ringing at the expense of the customers feeling shortchanged. In some cases, materials used on its first and second batch production meet quality standard while subsequent production are mixed with below standard materials as long as it can likewise pass the buyers choice.
As a newcomer in the garment business, he decided to be liberal with fabric use and charge a higher price instead of joining the bandwagon and make more money. Indeed, a good product will always be bought despite its high price. The decision made a few years back has been richly rewarded.
The young entrepreneur was faithful to its business philosophy and marketing strategy– “ to generate reasonable profits by producing only quality products, meeting the needs of customers”. Every individual who bought and was satisfied with its products became the walking advertisement of the company.
The factors we generally consider in marketing are the product, price, the place or location, and promotion or the most common jargon used-advertisement (market mix). Marketing is very basic yet, so complex. Every transaction in this world, (even during the medieval era) is accomplished through “excellent marketing strategy” may the product be tangible or intangible, service and the like.
With the invention and modernization of communication technology, people can now easily access to target prospective clients to promote and sell products on a larger scale. The same also is true to people who do not have the luxury of time to canvass for and buy what they need. All they have to do is check through the internet for possible supplier/s. Thus, accessibility is no longer a hindrance in transacting business.
However, we have to be conscious, observant and alert as to how the modern communication technology in marketing through advertising is influencing people specially the young and the young adults, in particular. An advertisement is conceptualized either by a person or a group who differs in attitude or state of mind, family background, culture and beliefs.
Let’s face it, advertisements (good or bad) influences people’s way of life. This can be observed among the young and the young adults who imitate the behavior of product endorsers (actions, language used and lifestyle). Therefore, the human factor has to be given bigger consideration- in marketing through advertising using modern technology, not just to achieve the desired return of investment and profit but promoting “good moral values” (character enhancement) as well.
