If you are like other owners and managers of small to medium sized businesses, you probably have tried a lot of different marketing and advertising methods with hopes of increasing your revenue.
Commodities are products like salt, sugar or rice. Whether you buy them from business A, B, or C doesn?t seem to matter? because they are all perceived as being the same.
In the Middle Ages, the medieval science of Alchemy would mix two or more elements together with the intention of creating another, more valuable substance. Alchemists would often try to combine different metals with the hope of creating gold.
So how do you do this for your business? To be an alchemist, you should bundle certain products or services together to maximize the value and uniqueness of your offering. Think of McDonalds. A small hamburger (yawn), fries, and soft drinks are commodities individually. But? bundle them together and you get a valuable combo meal. Or you package them in a unique way, add a 17 cent toy and viola! you have one valuable, bundled product that your kids fight over.
If you think like an alchemist, you will bring about more profits. You will differentiate your products from your competitors by making it more valuable, and people will go out of their way to get it. With product alchemy, your customers will not only remember your brand, but they will also spread the word to their friends and family by recommending your offering.
