B
A large computer hardware retailer positioned itself at the bottom end of the market by undercutting all its competitors. To attract customers, it even offered a 0% interest Buy Now, Pay One Year Later deal. People did buy, but unfortunately, serious cash flow problems forced the company into liquidation before customers repaid them.
C
Lever Brothers rushed Persil Power onto the market to coincide with a rival company’s launch of its own new washing powder. Despite millions of pounds spent on research, Persil Power was fatally flawed, having the unfortunate effect of damaging clothes. It was quickly withdrawn and reformulated.
D
’The best has been made even better.’ said the Chairman of Coca-Cola about its decision to change the flavour of Coke for the first time in its 99-year history.
