How to differentiate your products

Products are goods or services provided by a business in exchange for money. A business can either apply a low cost strategy or a differentiation strategy. However, some other companies apply both strategy. I am going to write about the differentiation strategy today. The question is how do you differentiate your products successfully. Differentiating a product is all about making it unique, as such some attributes of your products might not be obtained anywhere else. A product can be differentiated by providing complementary services for example a business that sells make up products (halal make-up products) can offer to give their customers free facials once or twice. A business that sells technological products can also offer free repair services as a form of differentiation. The performance and features can also be used to differentiate the products, the location of your business can also be a form of differentiation, like can customers have easier assess to your products when compared to other companies, the technology used in a product can serve as a form of differentiation.

The product must exude intergrity for its differentiation strategy to be successful. The way product integrity is achieved is through consistency of the differentiation. Competitors may imitate differentiation, as such business owners must always develop their products to ensure that they keep their differentiation advantage. A business that has adopted the differentiation strategy must provide products of high quality, if you are manufaturing goods use high quality ingredients. I wrote about packaging in a previous post, the way you package your products will also have an effect on how potential and existing customers will perceive it. Information about the qualities and characteristics must be communicated to customers effectively and efficiently cause that is the way your product differentiation will become effective. Everything should be done for the sake of Allah. Everything happens according to the will of Allah. Your business should be halal.

Halal means anything lawful Islamically.

Evil: Lekki Central Mosque

Asalam alaykum There are mosques and there are evil places that call themselves mosques, Lekki central mosque is one of those places such an evil place. The so called chief imam Ridwan Jamiu is also fake. A mosque, they have two floors. I  thought women where suppose to be upstairs and men downstairs. Yet, he allowed women to be entering the part where men enter, seeing women and men walking and passing through the same door. Women praying downstairs with no division between men and women. When I asked him about it, he said it is allowed. How is that allowed. Islam does not encourage the mixing of different sexes. Where ablution is done in the female part is sometimes dirty, when you are suppose to do ablution in a clean place.The toilets there were dirty and they face the qibla. Toilets are not meant to face the qibla according to Islamic law. There is one toilet there that did not face the qibla. A pit latrine, which i find odd why would there be regular toilets and one pit latri...

Quran 3:56-59

Asalam alaykum "As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers.   And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.”  This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was." Quran 3:56-59 Ma salam.
