What is the competitive advantage of the brand? How is it different from other competing brands?
- What does your brand do better than its leading competitors?
- What type of advantage do they have over the competitors? For example, when Steve Jobs invented the iPod touch technology, he knew it was going to be big. He purchased 10 years’ worth of raw material needed to build touch screens. Brands that wanted to copy Apple’s technology had to pay a much higher price for the supplies. This gave Apple the competitive advantage of being able to produce the product at half the cost of the competition.
Does the brand have any attributes or benefits that dominate competitors?
- What attributes (properties) or benefits do you see that dominate the competitors? For example, iPhones dominate the smartphone market and have for many years. Other brands may have more features, lower costs, and a longer battery life, but iPhone buyers are loyal (sometimes jokingly referred to as a cult!). While iPhones were among the first touch screen phones, it was their user friendly platform and their ability to communicate seamlessly across other Apple devices that made them popular worldwide.
