Over the years I've heard radio presenters times without number asked listeners to turn off their transmitter after their calls has been picked while calling a station.Please It's not possible to call and the same time listen to yourself.Even the sole called educated ones are guilty of this trait too.

PhonePlanet:
Oh yes! The said Android takes up 75% of shares in the mobile world, but how come Apple still makes more money from iPhone than these android companies?

There are many reasons to that which includes the 'one vs hundreds' thing but I just want to talk about one reason today, hopefully someone would learn something.



The reason is "TARGET CONSUMERS"

Leave phones, let's face business! I personally does not know much about business because I'm a science guy but my mom does, she finished as an accountant, and I do learn from her. One thing she told me is when starting up a business, you must have a target consumer! You can't sell to everybody.

You see, Apple has this, Apple target is "the rich and willing to spend" whereas Android manufacturers target "Everybody". So this is why Apple would take their time and build a device the rich would want to see, feel and use! This is why the Iphone from day 1 has always looked and felt premium, and obviously more expensive than most phones.

We all may argue that ios or the iPhone does not do so many things, but this is because it was not built for so many people, Apple instead of adding features upon features, concentrated on performance, less issues and customer support. In other words they build a device looking at what a rich man would want in phone. Note, a smaller target! This has made it far easier for them to have less issues, increased performance and best customer support, cos they don't have to built something for a wide range! Doing this makes you add more features and options, thereby reducing performance, support and increasing issue.

Take for example! Have you seen a man with just one child? Compare him with a man with seven children! With all things being equal, that one child would be brought up well to the parents taste or the way the parents wants a particular person or group of people, let's say their family members, to see that child than the seven children. That once child would "perform" better, "gain more support" and "give the parents or the family members less headache" than the seven, And the family with one child end up being richer than the one with 7. All things being equal again.

Think of it! A rich man won't care about battery life when he can always have power supply or far higher resolution screen when he does not watch movies on his phone, after all, a rich man should have a laptop, a TV with cable, and stroll down to the cinemas to see any movie he wants! And so on. Therefore, the first choice of phone for majority of rich men, is the iphone!

Android manufacturers on the other hand wants to make a phone for every and every human being in the world! Thereby adding a lot of features and options! And releasing numerous devices (like giving birth to 10 children). Making devices for the poor, and for the rich too! They can't give the rich as much performance and support, and they can give the poor an affordable device that truly speaks value for money and still does well, create a name, and own a specific market, NO! So each android manufacturer plays a game of risk each time they put out a phone! Will they buy? Will they not buy? Because of lack of focus or target, they don't have specific fans or consumers and always try to create a better phone each year to win the heart of a buyer! Therefore there is no grantee you can make all the money! Cos there would always be a set of people that prefers the other phone than yours!

On the other hand apple has created fans for themselves. Most people call the "iSheep"

This is why fans queue up to buy the new iphone, no one queues for android devices cos there are no fans! Even you reading this now claiming you are a fan, by the time another android manufacturer drops a better device, you will be the first to switch!

If apple fans and target consumers(the rich) takes up 30%, apple makes 30% of the total money in the industry, meanwhile hundreds of Android manufactures shares the remaining 60%, dragging for each single body with different tactics, different phones, no target, no fans.

If one android company can settle, set a target of let say probably the poor! Which is about 40%, meet it and create loyal ship, it might make more money than apple.

This is the same reason The google nexus sells more than other android phones in countries that its available in. And why "android one" project is doing so well, its because they have target consumers. One android manufacturer that came out with a target is "One Plus" and in just 2 years and only 3 phones in the market it is already one of the world most popular brand and made more sales than most android companies than has been existing for years, even still that their phones are sold via invitation only. Imagine if it was open to the market! That's how it works!

If you are thinking of starting a business, especially if it making of Phones, or just wondering why apple makes more on iphone than android companies do in android phones, I hope you have learnt something and I did not just make noise.

Thanks a bunch for this topic about standing out.I'm a shirtmaker,I design only shirts and that's the only area I cover in the fashion business.Although it's for both sex,I will like to ask what do you think I can do to stand out because virtually everybody makes shirts all around but one thing I know is they don't make shirts like I do.Am talking about taking my time to make sure the finishing is on point.So what else can I do?

I will like nairalanders to know that I'm really passionate about making shirts most especially for men although I make for females too.If I've my way I will like to advance in this field because shirt making is a really big business that requires skills and taken attention to details while resulting to good finishing.I will be very happy if I can raise the necessary funds to carry out this plans.

Hello Nairalanders,
If you look at my profile you'll realise that I'm an older member of this forum.I will like to ask for an assistant from Nairalanders home and abroad to raise funds for my clothing business.Presently I work from home in Ijoko,Sango just because I couldn't raise funds to get a space in Lagos where the demand for clothing business is very high.I have tried some many ways but nobody to help out.I've never though of giving up for once because it's what I have passion for,if am not making or designing shirts or natives I don't know what else I'll be doing.I'm a graduate of Olabisi Onabanjo University,studied Cooperative and Business Management.
If this post is granted I'll proceed to post of my works,my machines and how much am trying to raise to get a space in Lagos.I know a lot of questions might arise,I'll be glad to answers.
Thanks

FriedPlantain:
I have always known how to handle cars since I was a kid and I remember excitingly telling my dad my love for vehicles and why I would love to pursue a career as a truck driver or car washer in the future.

My dad didn't say a word, next thing I know, I was already at church for special deliverance.

Fast forward to 2015, I'm now a successful business man, selling and buying plantain in large quantities.
You can ask about me anywhere in Mushin Olosha, I'm popularly known as Baba Ologede.

I believe you Sir cos that's my former area,the likes of Aloma,Ibadan and co are part of the guyz I know that are really successful in their own side of plantain business.Keep it up!!!!!

sportsmaster:

sportsmaster:

And besides i will be going for village outreach this december..looking foward to healing all those that are oppressed of the devil.if you wanna see the power of God at work.
You can come around..i will sponsor your feeding and accomodation.

adioolayi: Constructive criticism is good...as good as it is, I will only ask the writer to tell us one film he/she has directed, produced or acted before....if non, then he/she should keep his/her mouth shut!

You don't need to insult the writer because something like this is really needed in this movie industry.There are so many critics in hollywood and none of this big budget hollywood movie is beyond criticism.So it's needed.Thnak you.

Rewinding back to the days in Uni. and on the street I've encounter different situation where I see my outfit on another individual.I just act as if I didn't see him.Thank God it rarely happen nowadays cos I decide on the fabrics and design I want to wear.Also I don't follow trends,I create my own style.

james-t:

Jarus: thanks. But I'm not into website registration and all that. There should be guys here that can help though. Should contact him.

I hope dey are seeing dis,someone shud pls contact me

akinalabi:

Your source of stats please?

So if I hire 10 computer engineers now, I have ruined 100 peoples lives financially.

Of course, you will say before I hired 10 engineers, many people would have lost money. Yes. If one million people lose N50 each. That is 50 million. N50 will not ruin you. The secret is in little money by many people and not big money from few individuals.

If you know any operator, they will tell you they prefer 100 people to bring in N1,000 each than one person bringing in N100,000

Well before I launched NairaBET, every week I enjoyed playing with about N100 to N200 every weekend. I still do today. My life was not ruined. My friends and I, all of us enjoyed it. Our lives were not ruined.

The minimum bet on is N50 and our average bet per customer is less than N100 a month. That is not a sign of financial ruin.

If you are talking about those that went over board by gambling with their life savings, then you are talking about something else. Just like saying that people have died of drunkeness then Champagne companies are bad. Going excessive in anything is bad. You don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Lottery is noble. Read more about it.

Bro Akin,pls can I have ur email and hope you reply ur msg.Thanks

Jarus: Ogbongeblog is a huge success, but Nairaland didn't contribute much to it. The contribution of Nairaland to Jide's thriving portal is not significant. He made his name elsewhere. That's why I didn't include him.

Uncle Jarus,I have a website I need to register as soon as possible but I don't know how to go about it,pls can you be of help.Tanks

Hello Peepz,
I'm sorry if I do not own a shop but that is why I do home delivery and I meet clients who contact for shirts.I don't one needs a physical space before a business can be run.I've done shirts for people I've never met before and they gets that satisfaction from whot I made for them.Thanks for your understanding and patronage.I'll upload more photos of my works subsequently.
