Orlando, Fla. – October 29, 2008 – JW Dicks, Esq., business strategist and co-founder of Dicks, Nanton & Glass’ Celebrity Branding Agency™, an Orlando-based branding and marketing agency, is currently writing a series of articles for their website, http://www.celebritybrandingagency.com. The articles are each titled “The Next Big Thing” and offer various insights into current economic and business trends, and how they can affect your business and marketing practices.
Some of the topics that JW Dicks, Esq. has already written about include new business creation, niche marketing, the economy and creating financial incentives for innovation. In one of the articles, entitled “Sell The Store, Not The Chair,” JW Dicks writes about the effect that brand and store recognition, along with store loyalty, helps to overcome pricing and convenience issues created by online markets such as Ebay.
In this particular article, JW Dicks writes, “The purpose of teaching the salesman to spend extra time with a customer to discuss the store’s long-term relationships with customers is to attempt to educate the buyer and create brand loyalty. Over time, brand loyalty and the desire to work with a store that stands behind their product can overcome many objections, including pricing. Price is always an important element, but in most cases and particularly over time, brand loyalty to a local store is stronger. The key is to make sure that the sale is made based on the store benefits and not the chair.”
