Our team decided to choose the “Broad Differentiation” strategy as the basic strategy for our company. We will attempt to differentiate our product line in several distinct dimensions. By providing products that are vastly superior and unique from our competitors and pricing the products with an affordable price, we can gain something that is beneficial for the company in the future, which is customers’ loyalty and awareness. We may change or modify our strategy for the next round depending how it performs against our competitors.

I chose a multi-regional, focused differentiation strategy tailored to match the differing competitive conditions and actions of rivals in the North America, Europe-Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America regions. In years 11 through 16, my strategy focused on “upscale buyers wanting products…with world class attributes.” (Thompson, Peteraf, Gamble, & Strickland, 2012) I chose this strategy because the cultures represented in my demographic are radically different, thus I believed we needed a strategy that catered to those differences. This focused strategy concentrates on

In order to accomplish the organization’s goals, the product differentiation and positioning strategies will be used. In some cases both will be used while other goals will only use one of the strategies. To meet the ticket sales goal of being in the top one third of the league both will be used. Product differentiation will be used by showcasing the elite

The focused differentiation strategy largely depends on a buyer segment that seeks special product attributes (i.e. healthier food, lower comparative cost, quick service) and on the company's ability to stand apart from its rivals (Thompson et. al, 153). In its uniqueness, Zoës Kitchen has the ability to be different and had no national rivals emulating its format or menu.

Distinguishing your brand is a function of leadership. Wise leaders factor into this effort the weight of facts, not feelings. Acting on an assumed brand distinction amounts to banking on a guess.

Brand competitors and the diversity of choice that is available to consumers, puts brands under pressure to offer high quality products and service, excellent value and a wide availability (Clifton et al., 2009). Brands must differentiate themselves from the competition and create an unforgettable impression.

Branding is a tool to make the goods of one producer different from another producer (Keller, 2003). Carroll (2008) asserts that branding is a sign of quality, and it is helpful to increase

In differentiation strategies, the emphasis is on creating value through sustainable uniqueness. This can be achieved through product innovations, superior quality, or superior service, which is then sustained and leveraged through creative advertising; brand-building and strong supply chain relationships. Another requirement for a successful differentiation strategy is that customers must be willing to pay more for the uniqueness of a product or service than the firm paid to create it. A differentiation strategy will lead to higher firm performance only if buyers value the attributes that make a product or service unique enough to pay a higher price for it or if they choose to buy from that firm preferentially. If

2. There are many ways to differentiate the product or service and many buyers perceive these differences as having value

Providing an exceptional product or experience to the client which gives an added value may be termed as Differentiation Strategy. Differentiation does not just mean the way the final product shows up or the features it gives, but advancement and imagination may be integrated in everything the organization does from the raw materials to post-sales assistance in a manner that the clients may derive value from it. Considering Theme Restaurants as an example, at present the theme restaurant brand which leads the Restaurant industry with its competitive advantage is Hard Rock Cafe on the grounds that they offer a “Dining Experience” which is found nowhere else and is remarkable in every aspect (Heizer & Render, 2013, pp. 72).

Differentiation requires a constantly changing product line and is more successful when the company is able to offer a portfolio of products that complement each other, which enriches the experience for customers and satisfies a variety of consumer needs. And when differentiated products truly satisfy customers’ unique needs, the company is able to charge premium prices. For customers to be willing to pay a premium price, however, Ford's products must truly be perceived as unique in some way. The ability to sell goods or services at prices that substantially exceed the cost of creating the differentiated features will allow Ford to outperform its rivals and earn above-average returns.

Customers can make different judgements as regards a brand. Customers put together imagery and the different brand performance to make the judgement (Lane Keller, 2011).

In recent times, branding has played a pivotal role in some brands’ success. This has been made possible through the ability of some marketers to capture the essence and minds of people (consumers), and put the trends and characteristics into the personality of a brand. Customers have always found ways to identify themselves with certain products, and on several occasions, branding campaigns
