Signs that indicate an area is growing economically well include: - Increasing job opportunities. - Rising property values. - Growth in local businesses. - Expansion of infrastructure like roads, schools, and hospitals. - Higher consumer spending. - Decrease in unemployment rates. - Increase in average income levels. 2. 'Potential customers' refer to individuals or groups who have a need or desire for a product or service that a business offers. They have the capacity to purchase the product or service, making them valuable targets for businesses. For example, if a company sells sports equipment, potential customers would include athletes, sports enthusiasts, and fitness-conscious individuals who are likely to buy their products. 3. If a business is setting up in an area with a lot of competition, the owner can take several steps to help the business thrive: - Differentiate the product or service to stand out from competitors. - Offer unique value propositions to attract customers. - Focus on providing exceptional customer service to build loyalty. - Implement effective marketing strategies to reach target customers. - Monitor competitors and adapt business strategies accordingly. - Build strong relationships with customers to foster repeat business and referrals. - Continuously innovate and improve the product or service to stay ahead in the market.
