Abstract: | Growth for growth's sake is a driving force in business today. Often that growth is achieved by line extension, market extension - a company tries to broaden its product line in an attempt to appeal to everybody. This is a self-defeating strategy that sooner or later ends up as a marketing failure. A better strategy is to narrow the focus in order to own a single word or concept in the mind of the prospect. |
