Hi Sucheta,

Thank you for your message! Differentiating your company in a homogenous market poses an exciting challenge with the potential for great rewards if you can be more successful than your competitors in doing so.

A key three-step formula that we recommend here at Flashbay is as follows:

1) Create a strong and distinctive logo for your brand. The logo should be simple, memorable and unique in its appearance, to really impact your clients.

2) Understand your comparative advantage - define and articulate what your company does differently and better than your competitors.

3) Create visibility of your brand and your key competitive differentiators. There are various promotional techniques you can use to spread the word of your company and its comparative advantage, including social media campaigns, advertising, blogging etc. 

One of the most effective and elegant tools is to distribute promotional products to your clients, such as Flash Drives, Power Banks, Speakers etc. featuring your distinctive logo and perhaps a slogan with a key message to summarise your brand's comparative advantage. This is a great low-cost way of really increasing your brand visibility and differentiating yourself from competitors.

From here, if you offer a quality product, and you are able to deliver on your promises, you will undoubtedly succeed in retaining existing clients and attracting new customers, too, enhancing the value of your company.

I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions.
