Camera For the products of canon, their digital cameras are in the growth stage. Their camera have been experiencing rapid increases in sales. It is in this stage that competitors appear. The result of more competitors and more aggressive pricing is that profit usually peaks during the growth stage. Product sales in the growth stage grow at an increasing rate because of new people trying or using the product and a growing proportion of repeat purchasers. Changes start to appear in the product during the growth stage. To help differentiate a company’s brand from its competitors, an improved version or new features are added to the original design. Canon at that stage tries to attract customers by differentiating their products from the competitors by emphasizing that their product is much better than the other brands available. For canon, new models and features were added during the growth stage. In the growth stage it is important to gain as much distribution for the product as possible. By the mid 1990s canon expanded to many other stores selling electronic equipment.

Examples of canon printer’s competitors are the Hawlett Packard (HP) and the Epson printers which sometimes have better functions then canon printers. Marketing attention is often directed toward holding market share through further product differentiation and finding new buyers. Canon printer manufacturers introduced product features that were suitable for home use and businesses, which today represent a significant portion of industry sales.

    A century old Journey as an Icon, a Company and Market Leader Kodak faced various dilemmas. Though best inventions and good products emerged during 1970 to 2005, lack of clarity led the empire to dust. This resulted in Leaders at Kodak directed and redirected company from Photographic to Imaging to printing to Consumer Electronics. New players like Fuji Films, Apple and Google, used this opportunity and situation to grow against a giant. To add more, product or service diversification was easy for small player while Kodak struggled for same because of organization size. Kodak used ‘Perfect Product (PP)’ approach to reach customers others used more dynamic approach of ‘Invent it, Introduce it and Improve it (III)’.

    Eastman Kodak

    • 6 Pages

    Company Eastman Kodak is currently the market leader in the photo film market. The company has continued its domination of the photo film market, but in the past 5 years its market share has eased from 76% to 70%. Reason mainly being the competitors like Fuji Photo Film Co. and Konica Corp. lured consumers with their lower-priced versions. In 1993, Kodak spent an estimated $50 million on camera and film supply advertising in the United States; this was about 4 times its market competitor Fuji’s U.S. advertising spending. Both Kodak and Fuji tried to position themselves as providing superior quality film through their advanced technology, however according to consumer reports test, the top six ISO 100 films scored almost similarly on comparable print quality. Context Primarily there are four price tiers in the market (Super-premium Brands, Premium Brands, Economy Brands and Price Brands). Kodak is mainly in two of the price tiers-Kodak Ektar under Super-premium Brand and Kodak Gold Plus under Premium Brand. Kodak’s gross margins are believed to be about 70%. Kodak offerings for super-premium brand targeted very narrowly at advanced amateurs and professionals. Even though a high percentage of films are sold by private label, Kodak does not do so because of 1921 consent decree still in force. Competitors Key competitors for Kodak are Fuji Photo Film Co., Konica Corp, 3M Corp. and Bayer’s Agfa. Fuji’s key brand, Fujicolor Super G, anchors the Economy Brand tier, it is priced 17% below the Premium tier. Gross margin for Fuji is believed to be about 55%. Konica and 3M’s ScotchColor brand make up the other competitors in this tier. Film procured from either Agfa or 3M and sold under a different…
