Book Excerpt

DISTINCTION

Distinction can be looked at in two key forms, DIFFER and UNIQUE.

In branding rule number one, you must be able to define exactly that difference you are, the difference you want to stand for, and the difference whatever service you want to render or stand for. The cut to fit “difference” is what gives birth to the:

DIFFER: Branding to create distinction is characterized with the difference you make. Everybody sells koko (porridge), but what is the difference between your koko (porridge), and my koko (porridge)? Somebody will say okay, I use millet, another person will say I use maize, and yet another probably uses rice, but it’s the distinction that will draw customers. In a case where two women are selling millet-porridge, it will take a clear distinction to state the actual difference between them. Let me quickly give you another example. McDonalds and KFC were not the first of their kind but the difference they stood for brought the distinction which buyers wanted when they patronized their services. Today when you mention McDonalds, it quickly syncs with hamburgers which, as at 1940 was only a barbecue joint operated by Richard and

Maurice McDonald.

In 1948, they reorganized their business as a hamburger stand using the production line principle.By 1948 there were other people in the hamburger business but they chose to be quite different and created a distinction (niche) for themselves. When you mention KFC- Kentucky Fried Chicken, it syncs with fast food and a clear distinction with chicken. Harland Sanders founded a new form of fast food with chicken using a said 11 recipe by Sanders during the American depression, which was an era when hamburger was domineering. We are now in an era of smartphones. Sometime ago in the cellular phones generation; we all know how Nokia was a leading giant. We could say their durability was their niche and distinction, as well as their battery life-span.

UNIQUE: That is the unique part of every human being. It can be considered as your signature DNA. Whatever you give birth to, your uniqueness for which reason you gave birth to whatever it is must show. You can’t say you are a football administrator if you don’t love football. It will never blend. You can’t say I want to invest into football but I don’t love football. What you don’t have uniqueness about, it’s very difficult to make an impact on it

If you look at the way nursing was branded before it became a profession or a career, somebody fought all the odds, and actually added something unique to it, and that is exactly what Florence Nightingale did. She left her luxurious home to go into the trenches, so one can say nursing profession was built from the trenches, from the war front or battlefield, where people had virtually given up, or had no hope, and gross despondency was the reality. It was from these same grounds she started from, which got her to be christened “The lady of the lamp.” Meaning, where people wouldn’t dare to go, she did. It was her uniqueness that changed the face of nursing.
