As Branding and marketing professionals, we have an in-depth understanding of the importance of a marketing plan. However, not everyone recognizes the benefits of investing in a strategic marketing plan prior to launching strategies and tactics that seem intuitive at the time. The following few paragraphs attempt to impart our understanding of a well-written plan's importance by first defining some of key elements of the role of marketing in most organizations.Defines Focus: Your strategic marketing plan gives the company, and everyone in it, a benchmark to measure all marketing activities against. A well-developed strategic marketing plan not only gives you a structured strateg
In order to be successful at business ownership you need to know a few important factors. There are those who focus way to much on the financial aspect and neglect many other important keys. Business ownership is never an easy road, luckily there are many people who are more than willing to help you out along the way.One of the most important keys to business success is the understanding that time is money. When you are in the business world, your common objective is to being in profits and make money. What you need to figure out is how to convert time into money. You need to make sure that every minute you spend working is with one hundred percent effort for maximum benefits.Shenzhen, once comprising of mainly fishing villages now with many high rise residential apartments and multi-story factories was located somewhere in China, very near to HongKong, She was once exporting almost everything for the Christmas session shopping spree, from Christmas tree to the decorations wasn’t doing very well this year, mainly due to the increase raw materials (including electricity) and labor cost which had kept many buyers away. Not too long ago, Shenzhen boasted as the production hub of all production activities and was now no more longer the darling to of many buyers. This is nothing new; the same shift of power was witnessed by Taiwanese and Hong Kong businessman few decades ago right at their doorsteps.
Being the lowest in cost is a tough battle, there were always some Tom and Henry could establish production facilities at even lower cost than yours and snatched away all the orders. Good news to buyers, right? Just keep looking for lower cost manufacturers to enjoy higher profit margins? The answer was yes and no…
Therefore, as buyers, it is important to distinguish the three main categories of manufacturing models in China. They were Wenzhou model, Dongguan model and professionally managed companies. Together, they form the fundamental production engine which had been steering China to even greater export powerhouses.
1. Wenzhou model, the first time I came to know about Wenzhou was when the China Government implemented range of measures to curb the heating of properties in major cities in China to prevent bubbles forming which was destined to burst one day. I came to learn about Wenzhou group buying who formed by cash rich individual who organizes trip to explore new project development or launching all around China. Snatching almost 90% of the units in one single shot is not uncommon. OK, what meant by Wenzhou model was plain copycatting the hottest products launched and released by others, within months, identical products were made available and ignited the competition which in turns lower down the price and many time beyond cost values. This hit and run models didn’t have proper management planning and core technology.
2. Dongguan model, I was there once, many entertainment establishments in full range, I mean some were beyond your wildest dreams. In addition, there were many fanciful eatery and shopping malls just like you were in Taipei or downtown HongKong. As you probably had guessed right, this manufacturers were mainly managed by businessman across straits and many were good in exploiting China emerging market’s opportunities but they share the same fate as their Wenzhou model counterparts; having the weakest link in production among the R&D, production, marketin
Okay, so you’re the type of person who shudders at the thought of working behind a desk in a traditional job. You want something fun. Something different. Something unique. The trouble is, you’re not sure what that is. You know what you like to do. But, you can’t get paid to do something you like to do. Right? Actually, you can, if you just think a little outside the box and think creatively.The truth is, there are interesting ways to make money and do the things you like. Think of all the dog-lovers out there who have their own dog walking and dog sitting services. They get to make money and be around their passion – dogs. (Okay, go figure, I’m a cat person.)H

Does your career have a worm embedded in it, destroying it secretly, as you perform the tasks you believe will assure success. Nothing makes standing in a supermarket line more enjoyable than reading the tabloids, finding out some gossip on the celebrity of our choice. And it's so innocent, harmful to no one. As a matter of fact, it seems the more gossip piled on an individual in those pages, the higher the salary they're able to command for their next project. But you can be assured, this equation doesn't apply to you. Gossip not only will not enhance your salary, it has the potential to take it away completely.I've seen it all, wherever people gather under one roof for a

My millionaire mentor taught me another way you can quickly increase your income is to find out what are you worth. Let’s say you work for one company. Can you go out and look for more job options with other companies? To be in a stronger position to negotiate what you want to have is at least 3 or more alternatives where you could work.If you had 3 or 4 companies that would be interested in your services (you would have to go out and investigate that and find out what you are worth), then you can go back and negotiate with your current employer – “look I’m considering leaving. I believe I’m worth this amount of money and this is what I’m prepared to do to add value that makes m

The process of changing employers may be very difficult if one is not prepared. Though the process tends to happen less frequently as individuals progress down a given career path, it is important to have a set of standards for entering a new work environment.First and perhaps most importantly, is to be very out going. Smiles and manners go a long way in a first encounter with a new co-worker. Meeting new people is only a challenge when you appear uncomfortable.Move swiftly, lethargic non-responsive individuals appear lazy and unmotivated. The more you move the more energy you appear to have to others. Negative body language raises inherit social responses; most are negat
3. Professionally managed companies, this is normally managed by returning engineers and scientists mainly from the USA, some were SOEs (State Owned Enterprise) which had been reformed or so call liberated. They compete with other with competitive technologies and engage the market in a much larger scale; companies like Hair, TCL were categorized in this segment.
So, as a buyer, how could you make use of this information to take advantages of the manufacturing mighty power? Simple, always streamline your requirements into 3 main areas of competitiveness,
1. Product development 2. Marketing variations 3. Packaging innovations
For long term gains in cost and quality products which can sell well and fetch high profit margins, focus on this 3 aspects;
1. Product Development. Make use of Dongguan model to develop new products leveraging on their existing infrastructure on R&D, no matter how trivial, have them to develop products at a faster pace and lower cost. You will be surprise on their innovative strength to develop new products with production and manufacturing requirement already in mind which will drastically reduce your cycle time of product development to retail racks

For examples, certain features were turn off or disable for domestic customers of which the pricing must be lower to establish economic of scale. High end version for international buyers.
3 Packaging innovations: Ever wonder why does a box of chocolate can fetch much higher price in different country? I ever gotten a box of attractive, tempting chocolate from a friend who bought it in Japan. The sight alone was sufficient to appease my appetite. Upon breaking down layers of wrapping papers, ribbons, the chocolate tasted no different from the one I bought in Grocery shop’s glass containers. Y
