Was the bold caption of an advertisement suddenly seen everywhere. A few people soon decided to assess the Maker's assertion and on a day visited the said place..
As men and women entered the venue, they were greeted with all warmth and were soon lead to a central place where they could see few
- Colorful handwritten slogans and
- Humorous cartoons saying how ‘good’ many times never talked of and ‘nice' alone stressed
‘We've totally freed ourselves from all this talk.. 'Nice' is OK but never at the cost of 'good!’
Further to that, they were lead to a special room wherein
- The history of the product was presented to them describing how a similar product was used in ancient times and patronized by the famous people of those times through beautiful sketches and paintings and
- The geography of the ingredients was talked of describing the places of the world where the ingredients were grown/picked from nature etc etc..
- A few smiling and singing,
- One dancing in style and moving the items around,
- A man looking intently through glass into a process and adjusting a certain mechanism and
- A few moving busily around..
- Special attires,
- Clean looks and
- Colorful caps..
The Head in distance standing and overseeing the activities!
The Scene no doubt, reflected the best quality possible on earth when
- Attention paid,
- Patience practiced,
- Sincerity expressed and
- Hard work followed!
No need to say.. On the D-day,
- The product was launched in the market,
- The sales in no time picked up and soon
- Touched the skies with continuous profits flowing in
The talk of the town and
A well-to-do personality around..

- Relevant procedures,
- Processes,
- Presentations,
- Descriptions

And mused within..
"How can I tell my boy at this point of time that my product is in no way
- Superior to those available in the market at much cheaper price and is equally
- Inferior compared to the similar ancient products
Improving it's presentation to people which clicked here in a great way with my own working people too not knowing that hidden fact even today!”

Wow! Brilliant!
ReplyDeletePresentation does matter!
Yes, very much Indrani! But good Business Ethics forever demand more worth in the form of usefulness to the Customer and lesser talk on the Show.. Thanks for the good Comment!
DeleteThis was such an interesting read Sir......it is all about how you sell your product that matters....Marketing strategies and making things attractively presentable are the key to success....:)
ReplyDeleteA good Observation, Sunaina.. But the Satire part of the Post brings out how a few times talk show in the market overrides the worth of the item being sold.. A Seller forever should balance between the two always giving more weight-age to the Worth! Thanks for the equally important Comment!
DeleteTrue.....that is why all that glitters is not gold....:)...right Sir...!
DeleteGreat read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment on the Post!
