Arris-22 marketing rules (22 Business Rules)
13. Sacrifice rules
If you lose something, you can get it.
The sacrifice law is the opposite of the trademark extension law. If you want to succeed today, you must
Give up something first.
There are three sacrifices: product series, target market, and constant changes.
First, the product series.
For Losers, the complete product series is a luxury. If you want to succeed, you must
Shorten Your product series, instead of extending it. This is an example of emmerui air transport.
If you want to ship anything to a company that provides air freight service, you can use emerrui: small pieces of empty
Services such as transportation, bulky air transportation, delivery of the next day, and scheduled service are all-inclusive.
What is the focus of Federal Express marketing? It focuses on the next day OF SMALL GOODS
Service. Today, Federal Express is much larger than emmerr.
The advantage of Federal Express is that it is "delivered the next day" at the expense of other service projects"
Concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. When the goods are to be delivered the next day, you will definitely go to Federal Express.
Then, how did the Federal Express perform? It does the same thing emmerr does. It costs
$0.88 billion purchased the feihu freight company of feihu international airlines, thus losing the next day's delivery
Features. Today, Federal Express provides global air service, but it is not a global company,

In, the Federal Express Company is the one that provides delivery the next day. The Federal Express will be delivered to the business side the next day
Advantage. When moving to the international market, Federal Express needs to face the classical
The dilemma is to apply its domestic name to the international field? Or a new global application
Name? In addition, how can we deal with the relationship with DHL Express? The company has already entered the international market first.
Express delivery.
Worse, Federal Express deviated from its idea of "Delivering the next day. Unfortunately,
Nor can the company replace it with a new concept.

. In the jelly and jam markets, clarft accounts for only 9% of the market, while smack accounts
With a 35% share. "Kraft" means a variety of foods, while "smack" means only jelly and
Jam, because it specifically produces these two products. In the salad dressing market, Kraft occupies 18% of the market,

In the late 1950s S, Coca-Cola overwhelmed Pepsi with a sales value greater. Yes
What should I do if I want to compete with the powerful Coca-Cola Company?
In early 1960s, Pepsi finally established a new strategy based on the idea of sacrifice. The company
All markets except teenagers were sacrificed. Later, it hired Michael Jackson and Leonard
Erricky and Don Johnson, as their idols, developed the youth market well.
In a generation, Pepsi has narrowed the gap between it and Coca-Cola,
In the U.S. cola product market share, it is only 10% less than Coca-Cola (in supermarkets
In fact, the sales volume of cola has exceeded that of Coca-Cola ).
Despite its success, Pepsi is under constant pressure to expand its "tent. Most
Near, it finally succumbed to this temptation. "Pepsi is already with teenagers," the advertisement age reported.
A generation of consumers grow up together. Through a major marketing strategy transformation, Pepsi's marketing objectives
".
Pepsi's new marketing slogan is "you must enjoy it ". The advertisement shows like jogi Bay
Older people such as La and ligis Phil bin are also drinking Pepsi.

The low price sale is the same as that of the year ". You can believe that the White Castle store has annual business income.
