The intensity of competition The ability of suppliers or buyers of
industry products to restrain industry profits
The behavior of firms producing closely related goods not included in the industry
Potential for entry into the market by new firms
Competitive rivalry

Competitive rivalry
Product Differentiation minimizes competitive intensity
• Perceptual Maps are a visual display (usually on two dimensions) of how brands are perceived by customers.
• The closer the brands are positioned in this space the more competitive they are to each other.
• Perceptual Maps identify “open spaces”or unmet customer needs.
• Perceptual Maps identify salient attributes of the products on which consumers differentiate brands.

Why Differentiation is an effective strategy
Competitive Intensity
Bargaining power of Suppliers
Bargaining power of Customers
Threat of New Entrants
Threat from Substitutes
Differentiation
Brand loyalty to keep customers from switching
Better able to pass on supplier price increases to customers
Fewer alternatives available to switch to
Customer loyalty can deter new entrants
Customers less willing to accept substitutes
www.studymarketing.org
Example:
Effective differentiation is when a product/brand occupies a piece of the
customer’s mind
That is the hook !
