Just being doing some web research and looking at web content on other websites and find that so many companies make the statement "why we are different".  To be honest it does make me smile because shouldn't it be more about the customer than the supplier.  If the supplier likes to be different - how does it affect me, the customer.  Can you make me different - can you make me stand out from the crowd?  Can you help me with my message?  Can you help me with my visual communication?  Can you get me more business?  Those are the questions we look at with ou
