The world has changed … and to be successful, you must change with it. Traditional directions and thinking must be refocused.
Differentiate:
“I think you can have moderate success by copying something else, but if you really want to knock it out of the park, you have to do something different and take chances.”… Lee Ann Womack
How is your product/brand different, distinctive, exclusive?
How does your product/brand stand out from the competition?
In a sea of sameness, does your product/brand stand out?
In today’s highly competitive marketplace, it’s all about well-designed products/brands and collections that give companies their distinctive and competitive edge. Re-inventing basics with updated design, technology and features… Adding newness, freshness and interjecting something special, something cool or something that will excite and delight your consumer.
New products/brands today must address your consumer’s needs and desires by embracing key lifestyle trends that are on top of every consumer’s mind today.
How will your product/brand enrich and add to your consumer’s life… will it add value to their lives and their homes… will it add convenience, comfort, safety, well-being, or just add a much needed element of delight?
Providing your consumers with compelling reasons to purchase your products/brands is paramount to success today. Designing products that will re-invent basics with updated design, technology, and features will give your consumers new reasons to re-purchase and replace something they already own.
Having a powerful inside track on key lifestyles as well as key design trends is the secret weapon in successful long-tern planning, design and product development. Having the right mix and balance of trend-right design and lifestyle insights take the guesswork out of the equation and add an element of research, facts and confidence to the process that balance the risk. Risk in today’s marketplace is inevitable, balanced and calculated risk is essential to success and growth.
