How a good business improves the look and feel of a town

The days have come and gone when the sole aim of opening a business is to make profits. Nowadays people setup businesses to improve their own image and make their names more popular while still making large profits. But now in Africa we are encouraging wealthy and forward thinking business men to aim at improving the look and feel of the area where their business is situated while still making profits from their investments.

How to achieve this:

When choosing the type of business to go into try and look at ways such business will improve the physical conditions of your location and the way people feel about the area. To get exactly this aim you might need to employ the services of business development firm and explain your business idea to them while they will look into ways to maximize your ROI while improving the location.
For example in Nigeria a few businesses have mad sure that where ever there name is displayed the shop and its surroundings will stand out. Businesses such as SHOPRITTE, MTN, BANKS, GLO, LG, SAMSUNG, to mention a few.

Have you noticed that businesses of the like already mentioned draw people to the area thereby opening the area and making it a contact hub in the town. People get to meet up in SHOPRITTE, do window shopping there and even use it as a sight seeing location. This is the makings of a good town. Showing how a business can improve the look and feel of a town and not waiting for the Government to put everything in place. Even the government can make the town better if they will invest in such venture. A good example is the TROPICANA at Uyo , which is their cinema and the main hang out for the town built by the governor, the wonderful Akpabio. We need more of that in other states, and if your governor has done something like that please get in contact with us and let us know.

We are using this blog to solicit with other firms to follow in this same accord when setting up a business, that way more areas in Nigeria will stand out, also nearby businesses looking at them will want to improve their own standard thereby making the area inviting to customers.

What more do you think we can do to improve the look and feel of our business locations?
