How Not To Advertise Your Business

In my opinion, this is one of the ways to NOT advertise your product or service. 
Yes it’s an innovative solution @gokadangbut it’s communicated more like a business pitch than value to customer from a customer’s perspective and I will explain why.

Off the top of my head, if market Research was done prior to the design of this product, I will expect the below value highlighted (using myself as a customer because yes, I still ride on motorcycles in my neighbor only) 😉
1) You will definitely beat traffic and faster movement means you can #fuelyourhustlebut how does message communicate your guarantee of safety knowing how reckless some of these riders can be?
2) Is this service insured so that if I ride with @gokadang and there’s an accident I am somewhat taken care of?
3) How trained are the drivers? What’s the selection process like? 
4) Does riding on this motorcycles comply with government regulations on motorcycle usage in Lagos? Are the motorcycles the right spec?

If customer understanding was factored into the design of this product (I believe it was) then show us how that translates into the experience we should expect end to end so we look forward to it and you get customers not just using your service but telling others about it as well! It’s great to capture data but let it translate to value that makes me look forward to an experience with @gokadang 
@gokadang keep innovating!!! #keepitsimple - think along the lines of the principles of #servicedesign#experiencedesign ie Valuable, Enjoyable and Useful 
Anyone experienced @gokadang? Feel free to share your experience

Arrogant, Cold & Unwelcoming

... Then ... the waiter came for our orders. She stood there so impatiently and seemingly scornfully while we were trying to make our choice. We settled for fish and chips but we needed to be sure how much to order so we asked a simple question "how big is the fish? would one be enough for 2 people for instance" and she responds "Just as it appears in the menu book". We tried to make her understand our question but instead of trying to advise and convince us on what to buy, she simply coldly stuck to her response..."Just as it appears in the menu book". Of course we walked out immediately. Details of Experience Shared What is the name of the product, service or company? Lounge 38 How would you describe your experience? Poor  Please share details of your experience. Friday 28th Sept, after close of work, I and 2 other friends decided to have a brief hang out before heading home and we decided on Lounge 38 on Bode Thomas. First impression on ...

Patient Experience at Eko Hospital

The experience a customer/patient has at a hospital is hinged on the quality of not just the specialist health care service he or she receives but also on the quality of his or her service experience. In the experience shared below from a customer/patient at Eko Hospital, what was negatively impacted was the quality of his/her service experience and I will break this down in more detail as well as share what Eko and other hospitals in Nigeria can do to make sure they manage their patients' experience properly in line with their wait time to see a consultant. STORY SHARED "...I have been looking for an opportunity to vent about my last experience at Eko Hospital, Ikeja. I woke up one morning to meet an early appointment, got their before 8am but left at about 12.30pm without seeing the Consultant. What a waste of time.  I wonder how many patients have lost their lives out of this level of carelessness on their part. I rate them 0/5" My Perspective. In reviewing ...

Brilliant Marketing Material #ValueProposition

Love it when brands tell their stories from a customer's/value proposition perspective. Understanding what is important to your customer and drafting your marketing communication in line not only attracts customers to you, it also forces you to look inwards at your operations so that when new customers come to you, their expectations match the actual experience.
