Casual Articles - Chess Sets, Creating and Marketing a Genuine Brand
We’ve all been subjected to awful speakers—some are boring, others are sanctimonious, a few are tedious. The one thing all of these rotten speakers have in common is this: listening to them is pure torture and all you can think about is how you will never get the last thirty minutes of your life back.Most of us tune out quickly once we are subjected to a lousy speaker. We pretend to take notes on our Palms only to check our email or add items to

We're in business to make a profit, but profit in the long term. To sacrifice a customers good feeling in the name of a small profit now is short term thinking - we want to think long term. As we progress our business through the years ahead, we need to remember our business purpose, our long term goals. Our mission stateme
One of the biggest reasons why I see network marketers drop like flies is because of the support system. Yes you heard that right, your support system TRULY stinks! But I am not telling you to get you mad, but help you realize that by "plugging into the system" with blind faith is a huge mistake.Sure you may feel a temporary high after listening to your big time upline repeat these lines. But have you actually taken into consideration if it ha
It's no secret that most fine chess sets are made by artisans in India. They are nicely weighted, beautifully designed and look/feel great. Some manufacturers are better than others, and quality is an ever present issue to grapple with on an ongoing basis. But good quality can be had - and there are a number of stores, physical and online, that market excellent quality chess sets for good prices that yield a little profit for the operator. How can we make ours distinct? How can we make our version the next Jaques, that will someday be heard on a future incarnation of Antiques Roadshow, where the owner will show that warm glow of satisfaction when the expert tells them that she has a genuine 'Baron' as sold by the early 2000 chess retailer ChessBaron? Hmmm, yes, our sights are indeed set high.
Will the brand be genuine?
We don't want to just call it a Baron, knowing that the same is purchasable elsewhere. We want a real brand. I want to pass my business to my son, and he to his son or daughter, so we want a business that will stand the test of time and have a product that will span that amount of time. Therefore we need to build differences in our product even whilst knowing thatthe same is available elsewhere. It's done with computers - there really isn't that much difference between Gateway and Dell, but both justifiably claim adherants to their brand, even fans (no pun intended). Our chess designs need to stand out. How? Easy...!
Domain Name
How likely are customers for a cranial and middle class game like chess to buy chess from a company like ChessShop.com, or CheapChess.com? Some, but not our kind of customers. Our national domains are ChessBaron (BaronDesEchecs in France), and convey, we hope, value, quality and such things. There are many domains that are places for people to buy chess quick and cheefully - which we wish well. But how does BMW react if someone says 'I would like to buy a cheap car please...'? Well, they've obviously come to the wrong place. It's the same with ChessBaron. Whether in the UK, USA, France, Canada, etc., if customers want to buy good value fine chess sets (and other chess products), they've come to the right place. But for Wal-Mart prices, go to Wal-Mart or Asda (who buy in bulk from China where chess manufacture is a business without soul.
Building the brand
We will offer uncompromising customer service. We will not ship defective goods or goods with blemishes. We will work with our suppliers of choice to help them improve their quality control, so that they are trained to provide the best to us. We will work on our packaging - to let everyone along the way know who this customer has chosen to buy from. We will work hard to make the experience of buying from us a pleasure. The internal packaging of the product will have the marks of ChessBaron, just like old Jaques chess sets had the aged mark of Jaques and his signature (still inforce with a manufactured aged look).

The dilemma that most HR managers face, is that their staff want cash as bonuses and not gifts or gift vouchers. But why is this a dilemma?Well it has long been established that companies need to give their staff not necessarily what they want, but what they need. This way companies can start to reap the reward of giving rewards by getting their staff churn down, and by their sales /service increasing.How many of us have had a cash

There is a new economic order. Marketing was a business function relevant to the old economic order. Even though that economic order is gone forever, most companies are still think and work according to it. And this is costing them waste in their effort to grow their business. It is high time they adapted their business to the new economic order.How can this be? Marketing has been around all along. What can have changed that makes the Marke
