In addition, Woodty’s had the lowest proportion of revenue market share in the three brands in 2016, which was conducive to charge a price premium over competitors.
A reduction in market share during these three years indicates that Woodty’s brand is becoming less preferred among competitors. There may be one reason to explain the decline in the revenue market share of Woodty’s brand. Jones toys came into existence in 2015 that posing a potential threat on it, Jones brand quickly seized 31% of revenue market share through lower price (£300) and cost leadership strategy (£180) when it entered

    In the 1990’s Black and Decker had a great position in the market for their products to appeal to the Professional Industrial segment and the Consumer segment but when it came to the Professional Tradesmen segment they were lacking. Their 9% market share vs. Makita’s 50% market share in the tradesmen segment was incomparable. Makita clearly had a better product in the eyes of the Professional Tradesmen. In the Professional Segment most of the people who buy the products are people who need these tools to make a living such as carpenters, electricians, plumbers, roofers, and general remodelers. Black and Decker were branded for tools to use at home. Therefore, tradesmen looked at the Black and Decker brand as tools for home use, and not for work. Since they were branded for home use it seemed as if they weren’t made for everyday use, and would not hold up for the wear and tear a carpenter or electrician would need them to. B&D clearly had a problem with brand association with its consumers. In exhibit 2 it shows that Black and Decker failed in capitalizing in the Membership Club distribution channel which was in the top five profitable distribution channels. Makita did distribute its tools to membership clubs and it turned out to be very successful channel for them having 85%. Black and Decker had such a lack of profitability in the tradesmen segment due to having the wrong brand perception and inadequate distribution channel, where Makita excelled in both.…

    This case study is about the Cherry Tree Learning Materials Company, this company was a successful manufacturer of sixty different special education toys and games. Special education deals with the education of children with various physical, mental or emotional disabilities. There sales has been growing by 7 – 8 percent annually due to sales of the toys and games they produce. The organization manufactured a line of new toys designed to assist in the development of children’s with five types of problems, specifically dealing with motor skills, visual motor skills, auditory skills, phonology skills, structural and verbal syntax skills. One of the products that sold well and received much favorable comments from teachers and parents was the balance disc. This toy protected children; they could sit, stand or kneel on the surface. An edging protected their hands and fingers. This toy assisted in several ways, it taught equilibrium, it helped with body alignment, and coordinated mental and muscular activity, also developing the child’s body image concept. With many of these types of products selling for a decent price, could the company sell in any other markets? That was the questions for the executives at the company; they were interested in whether they could successfully offer their line of toys and games to children who had no difficulties. Essentially could they expand outside the special education market? Lawrence Teilman who was an executive their stated that he opposed such a change of a basic strategy because he taught Cherry Tree had done little to serve the special education market through parents of children who needed the products. The rational he came up with was schools might buy one or two units per classroom, promoting this item to parents for home use might result in the sale of eight or ten additional units per classroom of special education children. No one in the company perceived this idea of being a problem,…
