GROWING YOUR BUSINESS WITHOUT WAHALA WITH MARKET MONIE
There is a saying in my part of Nigeria that goes: “Person wey wan climb ladder, no go push am comot for leg.” It means if you’re trying to rise, you need solid support. For market traders like you, every day is a fresh chapter in the book of ‘hustle’—sometimes sweet, like when a big customer brings three friends to buy from you; sometimes sour, like when NEPA cuts the power while you’re counting stock, leaving you wondering, “Which kind wahala be this?”
The good news is that growth doesn’t have to be full of wahala. With Market Monie by your side, you can steer your business into the land of profit, peace, and progress. Let’s explore some tips to make this happen.
1. Understand Your Business Like You Understand Your Pepper Soup Recipe
“Success is not accidental; it’s the result of intentional steps.”
You know how you don’t just throw random ingredients into your pot when making pepper soup? You know the precise amount of pepper, crayfish, and seasoning that will make your pepper soup truly exceptional. That’s how you should understand your business as well. Study your market, know what your customers want, what sells the most, and pay attention to every single detail.
2. Embrace Change: Don’t Be Like ‘That Shop’ That Refuses to Accept POS Payment
Change is like the rain; it comes whether you like it or not. The question is, will you wait to get soaked, or will you arm yourself with an umbrella? Look for ways to adapt your business to new trends. When others are complaining about low sales, you could be ahead by adjusting your strategy to meet fresh demands.
3. Customer Service: The Hidden Gold in Business
Do you know that greeting your customers warmly can make your goods sell faster? A customer once said, “Na the way you smile, I take know say your tomatoes go sweet!” That’s the magic of customer service. Treat your customers like VIPs, even when they price your goods like it’s a giveaway. Remember, a happy customer is a returning customer. Kindness is free but can earn you big profits.
4. Partnerships: The Power of Two Heads
A popular African proverb says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.” Sometimes, teaming up with others can open doors faster than trying to break them down alone. Join market associations or partner with other traders to buy in bulk and reduce costs. Remember, even brooms are stronger when tied together.
5. Plan Every Day Like It’s Owambe Day
You know how Nigerians don’t joke with party plans, right? Every detail is covered, from the asoebi to the DJ playlist. Your business deserves that level of planning. Keep track of your income and expenses, plan for peak periods, and don’t forget to save for the future.
6. Build a Reputation That Speaks Louder Than the Sound of “Okpaa!” Early in the Morning
Your name in the market is more valuable than gold. People hould know you for honesty, quality, and fair pricing. Build trust with your customers so they’ll keep coming back and even recommend you to others. It is the best kind of advertisement you need for your business.
7. Stay Positive, Even When Things Get Tough
The truth is, not every day will be a booming sales day. Some days, it will feel like your goods are wearing camouflage—customers just won’t see them. In such times, focus on what’s working and keep pushing. Remember, tough times don’t last, but tough traders do.
