Strategies companies can use to achieve expansion


Hello readers, today I will be looking at strategies you can use to expand your business. When you hear business expansion the first idea that might pop into your head is open a new branch in another location. Well, you are not far from the truth if that pops into your head, however, I will be giving  you other ideas

Diversify

A business can expand by making another product, it should be totally different from what it usually produces. However, it could be complimentary. That way you can attract more customers which will then help foster your business growth. Diversification also helps you minimize your business risks. Most market leaders employ diversification.

Franchise

Another way a business can expand is by providing franchises to individuals. Most fast food restaurants use that medium to expand their outlets and make money as it saves them from the cost they will incur if they decide to open another branch. A franchise is a situation whereby a business gives another (individual or business) a right to use its business model and its brand name. Way franchisors make money from their franchisees is by collecting a start up fee from them as well as a percentage of their gross sales which is usually between 3% to 10%. Sales of ingredients or the likes to franchisees is another way they make money.

Government

This is another means of expanding your business as the income from governmental contracts are always large. Once the income comes in you can use the money to open a new branch or start a new product. Having the government as a regular customer will help your business grow even better.

Influencers

This is another medium you can use to expand your business especially if you are just starting your business. You can tell a business leader you are familiar with to introduce your products to his/her clients. That is another way of making your business expand by telling others about it. The business leader you know already has a market and it won't cost the business leader anything to tell his/her customers about your products if you meet the needs of his/her customers.

Partnership/Ownership

The last method I will be writing about today will be the partnership/ownership. A company can be expanded by going into partnership with other companies, these companies may be abroad. A company can also buy up companies in order to expand. It could be a purchase of a company abroad so as to have access to their business market abroad easily. This strategy has been employed by Vodafone..

That is all for today, thank you for reading this article and keep checking out my blog regularly. Cheers!

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.
