Defend profits with a practical model for defensive marketing.
This book introduces the Defender consumer model, a math-based approach to understanding how a firm can defend an established product against a newer rival. It shows how affective it is to focus on value per dollar across product attributes and how consumer tastes vary across buyers.
You’ll learn how to:
- frame product features and price as “per dollar” dimensions to predict market responses
- account for heterogeneous consumer tastes in forecasting outcomes
- compare Defender with traditional perceptual maps and other forecasting models
- apply the model to real-world scenarios, including defensive launches and strategy choices
Ideal for readers of marketing science and new product strategy who want a clear method for defending market position.
