One of the objectives of the market modification strategy. Changing consumer trends can also lead to product repositioning. A company can decide to change the value it offers buyers and trade up or down. It changes the place a product occupies in a consumer’s mind relative to competitive products. It involves reducing a product’s number of features, quality, or price. It involves adding value to the product (or line) through additional features or higher-quality materials. Managing existing products through the stages of the life cycle, developing new products, developing and executing a marketing program for the product line described in an annual marketing plan and approving ad copy, media selection, and package design. It involves altering one or more of a product’s characteristics, such as its quality, performance, or appearance, to increase the product’s value to customers and increase sales. What Unilever did when they introduced iced tea in Britain, sales were disappointing. The company made its tea carbonated and repositioned it as a cold soft drink to compete as a carbonated beverage and sales improved. A strategy that company uses to find new customers, increase a product’s use among existing customers, or create new use situations. Reason to reposition a product because a competitor’s entrenched position is adversely affecting sales and market share. The sale of two or more separate products in one package. Reducing the package content without changing package size and maintaining or increasing the package price. Strategy that Dockers uses for its casual pants by promoting different looks for different usage situations: work, weekend, dress, and golf.
