Answer:
Swen is using product/service repositioning strategy.
Explanation:
Product Repositioning simply refers to the art of altering the target markets perception of one's product and or services.
Swen is still in the clothing business. He has only changed the way he delivers it to the target consumers.
Of course, this sometimes calls for a change in product mix (which refers to altering the type of products being offered). However, the central idea of the strategy still holds as customers now see the business differently.
This type of strategy is easier to pull off for start-ups, or unpopular businesses trying to make a comeback. Where the business is a well-established brand, it can prove extremely difficult and may be costly.
Cheers.
Industry sales = $15 billions
Acme market share = 20%
Emca market share = 17%
Acme market share in form of sales:
Acme marker share = 20% of $20 billion = (20/100)*20 = $3.00 billions
Emca market share in form of sales:
Emca market share = 17% of $20 billions = (17/100)*20 = $2.55 billions
Difference between the market shares for two companies as a percentage:
Difference = |20%-17%| = 3% of $20 billion
