...The new product that I will be writing about for the purpose of this paper is called Beautiful Hair it is an all-natural chemical free hair dye. Hair care is of extreme importance for women and is starting to become more common for men as well. The hair care industry is extremely competitive with some top competitors such as Clairol and L’Oreal. These are strong brands that are well known and trusted by competitors. When it comes to a product that has an effect on a person’s outward appearance such as hair dye consumers tend to stick with a well know brand and can have some difficulties switching to a new product. This is why having a rock sold marketing strategy is important but it is even more important to have a strong product that will stand out and sell its self with what is has to offer. Hair coloring can provide an instant change to a person’s appearance some we will love and some we will regret instantly and if using harmful chemical based hair dyes you don’t want to make that mistake. The Beautiful Hair product line is a long lasting henna based chemical free hair dye that will guarantee beautiful results. If the consumer decides a week later that they wanted to return to a previous color they could and without the harmful after affects and damaged hair from strong chemicals. The product will enable a consumer to dye their hair as often as they wanted and without the worry of damaging the hair. The all-natural organic products adhere to the hair without stripping the...

...customer base. The emphasis in this section is the cost, not the price of the product. This means that the company can make a product fairly cheap but charge the customers as much as they want by making a fairly inexpensive product or service seem really expensive through marketing. The second category, differentiation, is when the organization competes on the basis of providing unique goods or services with features that customers value, perceive as different, and for which they are willing to pay a premium. The last category, the focus or niche, is when the organization pursues either a cost of differentiation advantage, but in a limited (narrow) customer group. A focus strategy concentrates on serving a specific market niche. Based on research about our product and other companies out there with similar products such as ours, we have decided to use the differentiation strategy. The competitive scope is to have a broad target and the advantages we will be using are how our product differs from the other similar products. We feel as if this is the best strategy to use because our product is on the expensive side, which means we will not want to use the cheaper materials just to gain profit, and we do not want to have a narrow target market. We want to be able to give our customers what they pay for as far as quality and we want to reach as many targets as possible, not just a small group. Our product is for anyone and everyone so we want to advertise in a way that grabs the...

A newly invented machine is patented, and the patent is licensed to a company that plans to build and sell the machine. 2. A new edition of a best-selling travel guide is published. 3. A public library buys 3 copies of the travel guide to lend (free) to its patrons. 4.

An investor consults a World-Wide Web page for the values of "leading economic indicators" (key economic statistics) supplied by the U. S. Commerce Department. There is no charge. 6. A collection of photographs of great paintings in world museums is put on CD-ROM and sold by a computer software company. 7. A record company publishes a boxed set of CD's with a digital recording of a recent performance of Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro," with Bryn Terfel singing the role of Figaro. The set includes the libretto of the opera. What these examples have in common is that information goods and services are being sold (or given away). For the purposes of our discussion, information goods and services share these properties: a) An information product is a collection of symbols. b) Its utility depends on the arrangement of the symbols, not on the material form that they take. Thus, for example, the plans for the newly invented machine are an information good. They...
