Business / Will Displaying My Prices Chase My Customers Away? by ubuyng: 10:45am On May 25, 2022 |
Whether or not to display pricing information publicly for everyone to see is one of the most debatable decisions for practically any business owner. Most business owners have avoided displaying this information. But is it a mistake? Some business owners believe that when you display your price before being able to show the value you’re offering, your potential customers will see it as too high or overpriced and either never come back or go to another vendor with a lower price. Let’s not forget that these days, it’s so easy to get all the information we need online, and gradually, we have gotten used to that and when the information we are looking for is not there or is too hard to find, it could possibly throw us off and we will simply move on to elsewhere. Also, hiding information about your brand or business can be suspicious, and just like that, doubts come creeping in. The question now is why are businesses so reluctant to make their pricing public? Let’s go over some reasons why some brands do or don’t make their pricing public and hopefully, this will help you make an informed decision as to whether it’s a good idea or not to publicly display your price. Let’s begin with some reasons why brands don’t publish their prices. When each price given to a customer is tailored to his/her needs. So creating a standard price list and having to change it to suit the needs of a particular customer can actually cause more harm than good. Some business owners don’t display information about their prices because of competitors. Making your prices public makes it easier for competitors to gain access to it and when that happens, they begin to charge lower to get more customers. Also, some business owners are of the opinion that putting your prices public will scare potential customers away and they aren’t willing or ready to do that so they just don’t display it. And lastly, some business owners simply don’t know what to charge, so their prices are always fluctuating and this is definitely a killer. Fluctuating prices for whatever reason is definitely going to raise doubts in the minds of your customers. You could be raising your price because you believe this customer will be able to pay more than what it originally is but what that does is make the person who paid less wonder if they got a substandard product or service. And reasons why brands do publish their prices For transparency. Transparency and trust are super important to consumers and for your business as well. When customers visit your page/profile, they expect to see clear pricing information and when they don’t, they assume you’re either too pricey or something is wrong and move on to someone else. Why this happens is because customers want to know if they can afford to pay for their purchase and if they have even the slightest suspicion that you are too expensive they won’t bother taking it any further. Helps you get ahead of the competition. One thing business owners need to understand is that your price is just one factor in the purchase decision of a customer. Other factors such as quality, service, reputation, and relationship are just as important (if not more important) and you can use those to your advantage and get ahead of your competitors. Alongside creating a price list, you can also post the values your customers stand to gain and even reviews from previous customers. These are just a few things you can make work to your advantage. Displaying your pricelist makes selling easier. Putting your price list in the open for customers sends a subtle message to them and helps them understand that there is a limit to which they can bargain. Therefore, making selling easier and faster. Also, displaying your price helps you attract the right target audience. It is recommended that before you venture into any business, it is important to know who your target market is because you can’t possibly be targeting everyone. Hence why putting your price list is important, with this, you target the right customers; customers who are willing and ready to pay and close the purchase as against customers who aren’t sure of what they want. And lastly, displaying your price helps you gain consumer insight. You may not close a deal but this will definitely help you know how your potential customers perceive your prices and this can influence a change. In conclusion, the online space is a large and ever-changing marketplace that allows us to search, compare and find the best deals for whatever we are looking for. Putting a price on your goods or service says more about their worth and value. If you can save yourself and your customer the extra time and trouble of asking for your prices, please do. And that also brings you one step closer to earning their trust.

Career / Freelancing: Facts & Myths. by ubuyng: 12:43pm On Apr 22, 2022 |
What is it really like to work as a freelancer? What have you heard about freelancing? As freelancing gets more popular, there are numerous myths surrounding it. Let’s disprove a few of them. While there are many misconceptions about what it’s like to work as a freelancer, most individuals fail to realize that freelancing isn’t always better or worse than full-time employment. Before becoming a freelancer, it’s a good idea to educate yourself on common myths and separate fact from fiction. In this post, we’ll debunk four freelancing myths. Myth 1: There isn’t any job security. “There is no job security” is one of the most common myths I’ve heard about freelancing. But this really depends on you and what you refer to as security. There is no doubt that a “stable” 9-5 job will provide you with a consistent income, salary, and benefits. However, what happens when you are fired from the company that you solely depend on for all your income? Let me tell you, you will most likely find yourself in a difficult financial state if your savings are low and you don’t have cash coming in from other sources. On the other hand, when you work as a freelancer, the loss of a client only takes away a fraction of your income. It could be a substantial or not so substantial portion, but it still isn’t all of it. And let’s not forget that replacing a single client is a lot easier than finding a new job, especially in this economy. Myth 2: The freelancing market is oversaturated. With the growth of freelancing on a daily basis, it is understandable how the freelancing market may seem oversaturated and as a new freelancer, you may think you have little to no chance of standing out in such a large crowd. And this is only true when freelancers go the generalistic route instead of focusing on a niche. When you carve out a niche and focus o it, you manage to eliminate the competition significantly and forge as a freelancer. Myth 3: Freelancers don’t have a boss. Although freelancers get to choose their work hours and the kind of work they do, the myth is quite misleading because due to the fact that they work with multiple clients at a time, they actually have multiple bosses and answer to each and every one of them. Myth 4: Working as a freelancer means your schedule is completely flexible. No doubt, one of the perks of being a freelancer is the luxury of picking and choosing your projects and clients which to an extent means that you can determine what your schedule looks like. But we should not be quick to forget that for each client you choose not to work with or each project you decide not to work on, you lose the money that that project could have paid you. and unlike the typical 9-5 job, as a freelancer, you don’t get paid sick days off or leaves. Also, have in mind that as a freelancer who works with many clients, your schedule will most likely be connected with theirs. This means that your work deadlines will be determined by their demands, just as they would be if you were on staff. However, it’s crucial to know that there are numerous myths about freelancing. And, in certain circumstances, what works for others may not work for you. Much of your path will require testing, so instead of listening to others, test things and judge for yourself.

Health / 4 Eggcellent Ideas For A Happy And Healthy Easter. by ubuyng: 3:29pm On Apr 16, 2022 |
Easter is just a few days away and we are beyond egg-cited (see what I did there?). The long weekend, a break from school or work, time with family and loved ones, so much to eat and drink. Just like most holidays, Easter is centered on family and food. With all the temptation and yummy goodness that comes with Easter, you may want to throw caution to the wind, gorge, and just do nothing this holiday, and while that’s okay, here are a few ideas that would help you and your family have a happy, fun and healthy Easter. Stay physically active. Dancing is a way to stay physically active during holidays It might be difficult to find time during such a holiday especially when all you want to do is rest. But staying active can be so much fun especially when you get the family involved. You can plan an activity for each day of the holiday that everyone can enjoy, eg hiking, swimming, dancing. It can be anything really, just make sure you create a plan of about 45 minutes each day and stick to it. It will help you manage stress, boost energy and mood and even reduce fatigue. Remember, everything should be done in moderation. Having a healthy and balanced Easter lunch When there are sweets and chocolates almost everywhere, remember not to overindulge. Do not get carried away, always balance your meals with nutritious food and enough water to keep your body healthy and happy. Take some time for yourself. A black woman enjoying some me time during the Easter break I’m a big fan of having some alone time. It’s important to remember that you can take out some me-time to rest and unwind in the middle of all the excitement and enjoyment. Create some time for yourself; you can take a nap, read a book or just do anything you regard as self-care. Do not overschedule. Do not overschedule on holiday breaks While being sociable and interacting with others around us is essential for general wellbeing, spreading oneself too thin results in greater stress and worry. Be honest with yourself about what you can do over the holiday. It’s okay to decline invitations to events or to prepare meals. As a matter of fact, it’s quite unrealistic to think you will be able to be present for every event you are invited to without getting maxed out. I hope you have an amazing long weekend and make a lot of wonderful memories. Stay active out there and be healthy. Have an amazing Easter Holiday!

No! your skincare routine doesn’t have to be a 10 step routine (that’s a lot. I know), all you need are 3 major components; cleanse, protect and moisturize. I know what the word routine sounds like, but it is really not that hard, all you have to do is select a few products to use twice a day and be consistent with them. But, if you have the time and resources for the 10 step routine I mentioned earlier, then by all means. Your morning routine should be focused on protecting and preventing for the day while your night routine should focus on cleaning and healing from the day.

Health / Let’s Be Healthy At Home. by ubuyng: 2:44pm On Mar 03, 2022 |
It has always been a struggle balancing a busy schedule and thus makes it easy to neglect being healthy. When you are continuously pressed for time or have so many other things lined up for the day who wants to get up early in the morning to work out when you can get some extra sleep or who wouldn’t want to go straight to bed after having a long day? However, being healthy is critical for your productivity throughout the day and it’s important you find ways to maintain it. We have made a list of 6 ways to stay healthy on the go and they have been grouped into categories; Nutrition Exercise Lifestyle Nutrition Don’t diet; diets are generally thought of as restricting yourself to small or special kinds of food to lose weight and are usually temporary. It is easier to think of it as a lifestyle change rather than a temporary fix. Having a good and healthy meal will provide energy and motivation when you are on the move. Drink enough water; it is easy to forget to drink water when you are swamped with work but it’s so important to stay hydrated because it helps your body function properly else your body and mind begin to slow down thus reducing your overall productivity. On average, people are supposed to take 6 cups of water a day. To make sure you aren’t over or under-consuming, monitor your water intake throughout the day. Exercise Anything is better than nothing; not everyone has the time to go to the gym every morning or workout for 45 minutes or an hour so keeping your workout short, simple and consistent will still help you achieve your health and fitness goals and possible improve your stamina for the busy day you’ll have ahead. Lifestyle Make time for self-care; make yourself a priority, take out some time to stretch during the day or take a nap if you take from home, or go for a stroll during your lunch break. Your well-being is important for your performance. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself; it’s important to maintain a healthy balance. Don’t put unnecessary pressure on yourself and take breaks when necessary. [https://blog.ubuy.ng/lets-be-healthy-at-home/][https://blog.ubuy.ng/lets-be-healthy-at-home/] |
Education / 4 Challenges Freelancers Are Faced With And How To Manage Them. by ubuyng: 2:09pm On Feb 28, 2022 |
Being a freelancer has quite a number of perks. To begin with, you don’t have to worry about the commute to and from work, you can also choose to work within your own hours. Do you want to work in your pajamas? Wear them all day if you want. While these are certainly true and significant, being your own boss comes with a couple of disadvantages as well. For example, staying motivated is more difficult when you don’t have coworkers or a boss to report to. On this are 4 common issues that freelancers face, as well as some solutions; Getting new clients; the fact that clients are basically what keep a freelancer afloat just makes it extra stressful. Finding clients is one of the major problems freelancers face and that’s because it’s a continuous challenge, it’s not a one-off. A great way to get clients is to put up reviews and your portfolio on your profile. When you do this, anyone who visits your profile gets an idea of what you have done in the past and what it feels like to work with you. This will definitely help build trust with potential clients. Inconsistency; as a freelancer, your work life is ever-changing. It changes on a monthly or weekly basis even. One week you are so busy working on a new project that you barely have time and the next you’ll have an unwelcome idle time. For a lot of people, the inconsistency is a bummer, but there are some ways to ensure that you have work constantly. You can join groups that will help you network so you are always open to new opportunities, two, you can reach out to your regular clients to know if and when they need your service. Another thing you can do is to participate in conversations with other people and sell yourself whenever and wherever you can.

Education / 5 Important Stages Of Event Planning. by ubuyng: 1:07pm On Feb 24, 2022 |
Whether it’s a large event or a small one, a meeting with 10 guests, or a wedding with 200, planning an event is a big deal! Every event no matter how small requires so much detail to consider. To make your event planning process seamless and stress-free, it’s advisable you break it into stages. Conduct client research; before jumping straight to event planning mode, it is important you carry out some research to understand what your customer envisions for the event. The research will help you make sure you are meeting the customer’s demands and expectations. You may even go further to conduct research about the client’s company/organization so their brand is properly represented during the event. It’s at this stage you ask questions like; their budget, the date they intend on carrying out the event, and how many people they are expecting. This will help you ensure that you and your team meet the client’s expectations. Choose event theme and design; it’s at this stage you decide the tone of the event. To achieve this, you can ask your client how they want their event to feel and look. Once the theme is decided, you can begin looking for a venue, decorations, music, etc. At this stage, you should also make sure all aspects of your theme and designs match the client’s vision. Build your team; if you are working on a small event, it’s maybe possible to handle most of the tasks on your own. However, for a larger event, it may be a struggle juggling all the details alone. You will most likely need an organized team to make the execution a lot simpler. If you are building a new team, you should designate roles as early as possible to ensure accountability and all team members should report to you or a project manager (if you have one). Plan your program; your attendees will want to know what to expect so set your agendas soon as possible. And thanks to technology, this has become easier to do. Evaluate your event; this stage comes after the event and is aimed at assessing how well the event went. At this stage, you can ask for feedback from your team the client, or even guests. Feedbacks are so important because they highlight where you were not your strongest so you can improve for your next event planning project. A bonus tip for planning your event is to consider factoring in things like networking opportunities or happy hour. Event planning may seem tedious and while this is partly true, it doesn’t always have to be like that and the secret is having a strategic, detailed, and thoughtful approach to event planning.

Find ways to reward progress; we usually see key educational milestones such as report cards and graduations as occasions to celebrate. However, recognizing and celebrating everyday tasks such as completing a project or report can be a strong kind of external motivation for children.

For kids, the act of celebrating is both motivating and identity-forming. Have a plan; it is advisable that you have a daily schedule or timetable like in school. It helps to keep children on track with their routines and activities and away from excessive screen time.
