Other Failures Can Be Your Rewards
People tend to accept failures because of low self-esteem and risk-bearing capacity. They usually give up at that point wherein a few more efforts could have brought miracles. A lot of renowned personalities or brands we knew were globally renowned at a point who are now struggling for their survival or had been taken over by new hands.
NOKIA, MOTOROLLA, SONY, LG mobile phones were leaders a few years back but now they are replaced by SAMSUNG, APPLE, OPPO & VIVO. Why? The reason being, these brands understood customer need, the technology required for today’s world, good publicity and price of the product. The same has happened with KODAK CAMERA, the inventor of camera technology who lost its market and later replaced by CANON, NIKON, PANASONIC & OLYMPUS.
Free Trials
This is one of the most adaptive approaches for new ventures and brands. Establishing faith is one of the keys to creating loyalty for a product offered to customers. Free trials need to continue for a span of a marginal period in which customer and market both get acquainted with brand name and quality. JIO internet is the best example to quote. It launched 4G technology along with other telecom brands.
But JIO offered free unlimited use of 4G technology for six months and established its trust and technological quality in the market. People open handily accept his services and ported or took new connections. Other brands lost potential market share. As of today, some are struggling while others got merged with different brands.
These examples are not fairy tales. If they have adopted the required changes timely and implemented better and innovative technologies with the changing times, their market share could have been remarkable. Apart from the financial loss, they lost community trust that is above everything.
In the current era, every entrepreneurship demands fruitful ideas which provide space to adopt innovative techniques to explore new possibilities. It is easy to come up with new startups but it is important is to hold it for a long to get a better response from the market. If old is gold then new is diamond and diamond creates more value than gold. The conclusion is to stay open-minded, search for new things in life, introduce something new and be a trendsetter. Innovation is the key to success and future of society.
