T-Mobile 5G Home WiFi

スレッド
T-Mobile T-Mobile Xfiniti Xfiniti
T-Mobile allow me to test out their 5G home Wi-Fi network. When I got it, the speed was not really good. After two months, the speed has improved a little bit, but not as good as current cable Internet. They are letting me test for six months to see if it works. Currently, it's not working as well yet. But T-Mobile told me that they are bringing up another cell tower within my house range another month or two. I'm looking forward to test it again.

Japanese "Omotenashi" in Business

スレッド
https://pspinc.com https://pspinc.com
"Omotenashi" (おもてなし) is a fundamental concept in Japanese culture, representing a deep-rooted sense of hospitality. In business, this philosophy goes beyond providing excellent customer service; it embodies an all-encompassing, thoughtful care for clients and partners, anticipating their needs and ensuring their comfort and satisfaction at every interaction. Here's how Omotenashi translates into business practices:
 
1. Attention to Detail
Omotenashi emphasizes an acute awareness of customer needs, often anticipating what a client may require before they ask. In business, this could mean personalizing services or tailoring products to fit specific customer preferences, even going beyond initial expectations. Small gestures, such as offering refreshments or adjusting meeting environments to suit client preferences, can leave a lasting impression.
 
2. Customer-Centric Approach
The core of Omotenashi is putting the customer first. Japanese businesses often strive to offer seamless and stress-free experiences, placing the client’s satisfaction at the forefront. This may manifest in offering follow-up services or ensuring clear and polite communication throughout the relationship. The goal is not just transactional but relational, aiming for long-term loyalty and trust.
 
3. Respect and Humility
Politeness and respect are integral parts of Japanese business culture. Omotenashi emphasizes humility—business professionals offer services with a sense of grace and attentiveness. For instance, customer interactions typically involve respectful language (敬語, keigo), and meetings often start with a formal greeting to acknowledge and respect the other party's presence.
 
4. Sincerity and Integrity
In Japan, sincerity (誠, makoto) is highly valued in business, as customers and partners expect honest communication and integrity. Omotenashi ensures that businesses maintain transparency, taking responsibility when issues arise and ensuring that solutions are provided promptly. This builds long-term trust and solidifies business relationships.
 
5. Creating Lasting Relationships
Rather than focusing solely on short-term gains, Japanese businesses aim to build enduring relationships with clients, reflecting the spirit of Omotenashi. Post-purchase services and constant communication are common practices to show that the customer’s well-being continues to be a priority even after the transaction is completed.
 
6. Continuous Improvement (Kaizen)
The philosophy of "Kaizen" (改善), or continuous improvement, complements Omotenashi in business. Companies constantly seek ways to improve services or products, often by soliciting feedback from customers and making incremental changes to enhance the overall experience.
 
7. Physical Environment and Presentation
In businesses such as hotels, restaurants, and even corporate offices, attention is paid to how the physical space is presented. Clean, aesthetically pleasing environments are crucial in making the client feel comfortable and valued. This includes the way products are packaged or how documents are presented during meetings, as first impressions play a significant role in demonstrating respect and care.
 
8. Gift-Giving and Seasonal Greetings
Omotenashi also appears in the form of gift-giving, which is common in Japanese business culture. Gifts (often small and thoughtful) or seasonal greetings reflect appreciation and respect. The act of giving a gift is symbolic, representing the ongoing relationship between the parties.
 
Incorporating Omotenashi into business practices fosters a culture of respect, care, and dedication, which leads to long-term customer loyalty and business success. This level of service can be a unique differentiator for companies, not only within Japan but also globally, as it creates a memorable experience for clients and partners.

Gasoline price / Inflation

スレッド
Gasoline price / Inflation
I checked the gasoline prices at the Safeway gas station near my office, and it was just under four dollars. I thought that was cheaper compared to recent times. Then I looked at the price of gasoline in 2020—it was under three dollars. This means gas prices have risen by 33% over the last four years.
 
At one point, gas prices even exceeded $5.00, a whopping 66% increase in just four years. Do I think inflation is under control? I don’t think so. As gas prices rise, so does the cost of everything else. This has a lot to do with the Green Initiative, which aims to reduce CO2 emissions.
 
I used to drive a gasoline-powered Subaru Outback and got around 20 MPG. Now, I drive a Toyota Crown Hybrid, which gives me over 37 MPG. Aren't I making a difference?

Should Every Business Offer Exclusive Products to Increase Value?

スレッド
Should Every Business Offer Ex...
Should Every Business Offer Exclusive Products to Increase Value?
 
Offering exclusive products can be a game-changer for many businesses, but it's not always the right move for everyone. Here are some things to consider:
 
The Benefits:
 
Creates Brand Differentiation – Exclusive products help your business stand out in a crowded market.
Builds Customer Loyalty – Customers love feeling like they’re part of something special.
Allows for Premium Pricing – Scarcity + demand = higher price points.
Generates Buzz – Limited-time or exclusive items can create excitement and urgency!
 
The Drawbacks:
 
Not for Everyone – If your business thrives on accessibility and affordability, exclusivity might not align with your goals.
Can Alienate Customers – High-priced exclusive products might turn off your core audience.
Operational Challenges – Managing inventory and demand for exclusive items can be tricky.
 
 Is It Right for Your Business?
 For luxury brands, niche markets, or businesses that thrive on innovation, exclusivity can be a powerful tool. But for mass-market businesses or those focused on broad appeal, it might not be necessary.
 
At the end of the day, it all comes down to your brand and audience. 
 
What do you think? Should every business have an exclusive product offering? Let us know in the comments!

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 304 The Evolution of Advertising: From Past to Present

スレッド
Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. ...

The Evolution of Advertising: From Past to Present

In the past, advertising was dominated by newspapers, magazines, radio, and television. Through these media, companies conveyed their messages to consumers and built their brands. Television advertising, in particular, reigned for many years as a powerful way to reach a broad audience.

However, with the rapid rise of the internet, these traditional advertising platforms gradually began to lose their prominence. Today, online platforms like Google, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube have become the central focus of advertising.

One key point to note is that advertising doesn't necessarily have to be paid. By posting on platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, individuals and businesses can spread their messages for free. The internet has brought new possibilities to advertising, allowing anyone to easily promote their brand or products to the world.

Furthermore, with Google, it's possible to rank high in search results by properly optimizing your website through search engine optimization (SEO). This allows you to naturally reach your target audience and drive traffic to your business without spending on advertising. SEO is a crucial factor in enhancing a company's online presence.

YouTube advertising, in particular, is a powerful tool that engages both the visual and auditory senses through video. The platform’s user base is vast, and it allows you to efficiently reach specific target audiences. Moreover, by using viewer behavior data, YouTube enables highly accurate targeting to maximize the impact of your ads.

In modern advertising strategies, a large budget or reliance on traditional media are no longer always necessary. By leveraging the internet, you can reach a wide range of target audiences at a low cost. By creating your own content and taking SEO into consideration, you can effectively grow your business. The combination of creativity and the power of online platforms is directly linked to business success.

Who is PSPINC?

スレッド
Who is PSPINC?
PSPINC is a company focused on technology development, primarily a software development company. While we may not always be in the spotlight, we continuously pursue our own technological advancements and provide the systems behind the software that many people use daily. Our business involves collaborating with client companies to jointly develop their software and systems, contributing to the evolution of technology in the IT industry.
 
The IT industry consists of various types of companies, but PSPINC is a technology development company that possesses its own technology and continues to develop it every day. Unlike sales or distribution companies that don’t have their own technology, we provide services based on our core technological capabilities.
 
Large companies like Amazon and Microsoft are examples of this. While Amazon is primarily known for its online retail services, it also provides AWS, a powerful IT hosting service, and is constantly innovating as a technology company. Similarly, Microsoft is not just a software sales company but a technology company that has built a business model around subscription services, backed by cutting-edge technology.
 
Although PSPINC is smaller in scale, we also focus on developing our own technology and are dedicated to software development. This is why we identify ourselves as a "software development company." Our mission is to co-develop software with businesses that need it, which defines PSPINC's role in the industry.

Onigiri (Rice Balls) at H-Mart in Redmond

スレッド
Onigiri (Rice Balls) at H-Mart ...
Onigiri at H-Mart costs around $2.99, which is 2-3 times higher than in Japan, despite rice and most ingredients being cheaper in the US. This price difference likely stems from higher labor costs, smaller demand, and specialized packaging. However, there’s a business opportunity here: if someone can mass-produce onigiri efficiently in the US, leveraging automation and local ingredients, it could be sold at a more competitive price. As Japanese food grows in popularity, affordable, ready-to-eat onigiri could thrive in the US market. I’ve also heard that onigiri is very popular in France, showing its global appeal.

Seattle to Narita on WestJet

スレッド
Flying from Seattle to Narita on WestJet, Canada’s second-largest airline, requires a stopover in Calgary. The business class round-trip ticket cost me just over $2,000, which I found to be an amazing deal. However, the first and last legs of the journey between Seattle and Calgary were in economy class. I upgraded to a bulkhead seat for a bit more legroom. The plane for those segments was a Boeing 737-800.
 
One downside to this route was the long layovers in Calgary—5 hours on the way to Tokyo and 7 hours on the way back to Seattle. I wish WestJet offered more flight options between Seattle and Calgary to reduce these layovers.
 
For the Calgary-Narita segment, we flew on a Boeing 787-9, which featured full-flat seating in business class. Although the flight from Calgary to Narita is technically longer in distance than from Seattle, the flight time was comparable. The meal service was great, though I skipped the second meal because I was too tired and had spent a lot of time in the Calgary airport lounge, so I wasn’t hungry.
 
Overall, I was expecting the service to be subpar given the price, but I was pleasantly surprised by the quality. Would I fly this route again? Yes, though I do wish the layover times were shorter.
 
My next business trip is at the end of October, and I’ll be flying ZipAir from Vancouver. I still haven’t figured out how I’ll get to Vancouver from Seattle yet, but I’ll keep you updated!
