Is your Small and Medium Business (SMB) idea unique?

For the Small and Medium Business (SMB) owner, first mover advantage is not a differentiator.  Doing something better is not a core competency.  Just give the competition a little time and they’ll do it the same way.  What you need is a uniqueness that can’t be repeated – or at least one that can’t be repeated easily.

Protect your uniqueness.  It starts small like a seedling that needs great attention and the right conditions to grow.  Don’t neglect it.  Don’t take it for granted. Help it thrive.  Focus your efforts here; all your efforts. Finally, advertise the hell out of it.  If it’s truly unique and relieves a basic customer pressure point, you’ve got it.  Just don’t stop there.

Constantly revisit your uniqueness.  Is it still unique?  Has it spurred other ideas?  Like a houseplant, proper conditions are critical and seemingly innocuous changes can make all the difference.  No one ever got rich by making a plant thrive for a couple weeks.  However plant a garden or a green house full of unique selections and now you have something to sell.

Above all, keep at it.   If you’re struggling, call us today at Kenesco.  A trained business advisor is standing by to help.
