Differentiation
Our product is a completely new product in the Indian marketThere are many bathroom solutions offered by competitors but none offer product like bath box which provide sensor controlled automated bathing solution. The core offering with customer service support would be the main differentiators from the competitors.
Positioning
We would be positioning our product as “Easy Bathing solution, anytime, anywhere” which would be based on the tenets of convenience, affordability and access.
Our positioning strategy is designed from the findings of the 3C analysis. The 3C’s of the analysis that we did are:
Customer: Through our market research we found that our customers lacked quality bathrooms. Also, we could see an untapped demand of having portable automated bathrooms which could be easily installed in public places.
Competitor: As our product is a novel offering, we don’t have any direct competition. But we might face competition from other bathroom fittings company in future. To tackle such future challenges we constantly have improve our products through innovation
Company: The environment is conducive for the launch of such a product. Convincing the customers about the relevancy of our offering might be a challenge
