Global Household Brands is in a market in which it is difficult for a new company to enter. With the difficulty to gain access to distribution channels and difficulty to develop a strong brand consumer base, the market the GHB is in is strong. Major threats to Global Household Brands products are the entering of larger companies such as Clorox, Arm and Hammer, and S.C. Johnson. These companies are much bigger than GHB, and can rival their products. GHB doesn’t want to rival these larger companies, because these companies have the potential to market more and steal market share, like they did for 1995-1999. Since GHB and the larger competitors are mature, it has become a consolidated industry, as GHB and its competitors are struggling to differentiate their products from one another. Consolidated industries tend to depend heavily on price and quality, which could lead to lower profit margins. GHB has a reputation of producing high quality products, but that is beginning to be tarnished because of the poor job by the operations manager.

Strangely, 30 minutes later the market rebounded gaining back nearly all that was lost. Who’s to blame for such an event? A better question may be, “What is to blame?” The media immediately blamed high frequency trading. It took the government three months of research with a team of more than 20 investigators to achieve an inconclusive result with little to no forward guidance as to how to prevent it from happening again. Why? Because high frequency trading is not illegal and it is not unethical, it’s just plain complicated.

Majority of all companies become successful in selling their products because they rely on the media to make their product well-known.
