\"If<\/a>
If your business isn\u2019t offering choices – what exactly is it offering?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Choice is always a good thing isn\u2019t it? Would you rather be forced into a choice thanks to the lack of choices available? Or would you rather have a path or range of options for your perusal? The choice here? It\u2019s obvious – you\u2019d rather have options. Everyone would rather have a range to choose from than be forced into an option because of a lack of options!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is important in business. We\u2019d all rather have a range of choices regarding situations in our lives, but in business it can make a difference between a sale and no sale. On a large scale, that is the difference between a profit and a loss. Over years, profit and loss can ensure the survival or demise of a business.\u00a0(source)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Every business can offer choices in payment. From coins, notes, cards, checks and financing, there are a wide range of cash collection options for businesses. Even extending to digital options such as Paypal cash collection and bitcoin machines. Offering payment choices is a good idea as you never know what your target market can afford, or what is in their wallets. <\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have a general idea – but it won\u2019t be complex or clear at all. You can account for all range of budgets with payment options though. Some people might pay with a digital Paypal balance, and if you don\u2019t have the facility to accept that type of payment – you may have just missed out on a sale! It is worth ensuring that your business can take all manner of payments, so that it doesn\u2019t potentially miss out on any sales. Other premium options exist as well, like <\/span>vyze.com<\/span> who offer financing plans for bigger purchases. If you can offer these options, you increase your chances of a sale.<\/span><\/p>\n

How else can a business offer choice? A choice that matters? <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Well look at restaurants. A Mexican eatery will serve Mexican style food and cuisine to diners. Does it simply sell one dish? No – it will sell a range of dishes to suit all tastebuds. If you walk in and the only thing being offered is a quesadilla, you\u2019re out of luck if you hate them – especially if there is only one type on offer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Restaurants offer menus that account for a variety of tastes and dietary requirements. Restaurants serve the vegan and vegetarian markets with special foods. While a restaurant will position itself under a certain bracket, it won\u2019t usually exclude certain markets – it will try to cater for a wide range. That\u2019s exactly what you need to do with your products, and your price range. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you can offer prices that appeal to a wide range of people, and offer products that could grab the attention of more than just your target market – you\u2019ll be selling more than if you didn\u2019t.<\/span> There is a lot that matters in business <\/span><\/a>– your money, your customer – but also the choices available to your target market.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
