Como é que a sua empresa se distingue?

"Competition has two faces. It can be a good thing - if you sell something very unusual, gaining a competitor is a powerful way to build credibility for your product category. You get to piggyback off their marketing, and the fact that there are two or more product choices gives customers confidence that other people are buying the product.
.
But it is also dangerous, because it creates the risk that people will look at your product purely on price. If your customers start to compare you on price with competitive alternatives, you may have to reduce your price to beat theirs. They will be forced to cut their price to beat you and, ultimately you will both end up getting cheaper and cheaper until you have no profit left.
.
To beat this, you need to distinguish your product from the competition so that customers can't easily compare your offering with theirs.
You might be able to do this by adding extra features to your product - though the competition may copy your features after a while. You can do it by using unusual package sizes so that customers have difficulty making a direct comparison - but you risk putting people off if they are used to buying the product in a specific size. And you can do it with specific offers, such as a money-back guarantee or extras such as a prize draw."
