tecnological advances making it easier
GWAC\'s having an undocumented influence
Uncle Bob\'s getting lucky
DOL info being too generalized
\"staying power\' / turnover rate likely to be significant
my analogy is far from perfect ... but still OEM marketing in the photogrpahic industry is monstrous and DOES influence buyer\'s expectations (economic non-price determinant) ... otherwise they wouldn\'t doing it so aggressively (data to back it in the paper)
While I absolutely agrre with this and much more ... that still doesn\'t identify the category of market forces from which they are derived. My efforts have been to understand them categorically. From that one can incorporate how that impacts their own business model ... and subsequently make adjustments to provide counter market force to your own advantage.
Consider this ... routinely, people have asked for business advice in the advent of GWAC/CL growth. Historical responses range from lower you price to compete to raise your price to set yourself apart. While those may both be considered opinion, I\'m trying to provide understanding regarding market forces. People can make better understanding / assessment of their own situation ... and not simply be left to a variety of opinions ... ala \'give a man a fish vs. teach a man to fish\'.
