Adapt, Evolve, or Become Extinct
September 15th, 2007 . by lifestylistI saw this quote in a wonderful ad by Brandon homefurnishings. It shows a photo of a chameleon and talks about adapting to furnitures’ new retailing environment. With as quickly as our world is changing these days, our ability to adapt and evolve can mean the difference between being successful or extinct.
Today’s consumer has an increasingly short attention span. If your product doesn’t offer them what they feel they need and are looking for was well as being an exceptional value, they’ll keep looking until they find someone that does.
Make time every day to search out emerging trends and “what’s hot” in your market. One of my favorite tools is Google’s Alert service. This is available at no charge and is an easy way to be in the know on any subject that is important to you. It’s also a wonderful way to monitor what is being written about you and your company. A company has numerous times has used my trademark Lifestylist without my permission. By using the Google Alert service I’m able to see when my trademark is being used by someone other than me many times.
