You're a new small business that's got lots of well-established competitors in your marketplace. So what can you do to get a toehold, to differentiate yourself from all that competition? Change the rules of the game.In the town where I used to live there was this Cadillac dealer who bought what had been one of the weakest dealerships in the marketplace. It had passed through two or three different owners over the previous five years. What's more, this new guy in town had lots of in-place, well-established competitors, including two other Cadillac dealers and a very aggressive mega-dealer with more than a dozen car franchises on his lots.So what did this newcomer do to establish his uniqueness in the marketplace? He changed the rules of the game. He did what no other car dealer in the marketplace had done before: he brought in new and different fun promotions. He did things like staging all night tent sales, complete with a refreshment wagon. He did things like having pony rides and petting zoos for the kids on weekends. In other words, he tried to make buying a car more fun.The truth was that his products and prices weren't significantly different than other car...more

As a small business not everyone in a given marketplace is going to be your customer. While this might seem as obvious as the sun coming up in the morning, in reality it is often a very tough concept for businesses to grasp. Your instincts are to sell something to everybody, to believe that everyone can be your customer.Maybe once upon a time, when the old-fashioned general store was the only game in town everyone was the store's customer base. But in today's highly competitive marketplace, for a variety of reasons there are certain products that any given individual is very unlikely to buy and certain places where he or she is very unlikely to ever do business.One key, and often overlooked, factor that can determine what people will buy and where they will buy it is their individual behavior patterns. The day-to-day behaviors that we usually don't even think about can hugely influence what we buy and where we do business.For instance, you live and work on the west side of town. Even though you like oriental food and have heard good things about a new Thai restaurant "way over" on the east side of town, you have never eaten at that Thai restaurant and likely won't,...more
