In “EP 10: Good Product vs Good Marketing” of the “One Eye Deer” Podcast, we learn further if we should opt for a good product or good marketing for your business.
Have you ever been to a hawker centre where there may be two or three stalls selling the same type of food such as chicken rice, char kway teow or wanton noodles?
But one of the stalls has a perpetual long queue where customers queue up to one hour during peak hours, and the other stalls have barely a crowd. This is true for almost every hawker center, at least, in Singapore.
Apparently, the food at many of these stores are not any much better or different than their competitors. Yet there are queues of people waiting to order from them.
You will find similar situations for the same types of businesses in the same geographical location like computer shops, wholesale markets or industry specific malls.
So why do these hawkers have long queues?
Join certified marketing management consultant, J C Sum, as he explains if either a good product or good marketing is the best solution to increase sales for your business.
