i. Who are the customers?
ii. What is the set of needs that the product fulfills? iii. Why is the product the best option to satisfy those needs |

Two extreme types of differentiation:

i. Vertically differentiated- when all buyers agree that product A is better than product B.
1. Result: if they are sold at same price, no one buys B ii. Horizontally differentiated- if products A and B differ in ways independent of buyers’ overall judgments about their quality levels. 1. Result: if they are sold at the same price, some people will prefer one, some the other. |
