Small Business Marketing Tip:

Did you hear?

The folks from Arkansas want to offer medical services to their customers.

Can you imagine:

You stroll into a The Big Guy's store to buy garbage bags... a pair of tube socks... and some fruit roll-ups... and on your way out you swing by your doctor's office to get your runny nose checked.

What's next for The Big Guy?

Running things at The White House?

Trying to find a cure for cancer?

Taking a stab at ending world hunger?

But by golly fear not because there is an easy way to ensure that your small business thrives and prospers if The Big Guy moves into your niche. Ready?

1) Do not play The Big Guy's game.

If you go head to head with The Big Guy on price then that's like stopping a Mack Truck with your bare hands. Not too smart! So if you sell the same stuff as The Big Guy then figure out how to be different.

2) Build a rock solid relationship with your customers.

Do your customers know you?

Do you contact your customers on a regular basis?

If so, how? By email? Or do you throw in a paper and ink newsletter?

Look, from this moment forward realize you are in the relationship business which is something The Big Guy will never be able to give their customers. So go about your business finding ways to earn a rock solid relationship with the ones who put greenbacks in your pockets.

3) Focus on the experience your customers get when they buy from you.

Are you just selling stuff which puts you in the transaction business just like The Big Guy? Or are you giving your customers a memorable buying experience?

Heck... anybody can sell the same stuff. But it takes a crafty small business owner to figure out how to make the buying experience fun. For an example on doing this checkout Disneyworld and The Pike Place Fish Market. Both companies give their customers a unique and fun buying experience.

But don't fear The Big Guy.

Instead, look for ways to turn your small business into something unique.
