Who are our competitors?
Original Strategy: Niche Differentiation Strategy
The Flopping Fish, Inc. initially focused on the high technology segments of the electric sensor industry.

In order to align our customers’ needs with our business, we developed our R&D center to attempt to keep pace with our customers’ demand and offer improved quality and performance. Our products would then be targeted toward a niche market with higher customer expectation on quality performance rather than cost effectiveness.
The Flopping Fish, Inc. initially adopted a Niche Differentiation Strategy; believing this would allow us to avert our company’s attention towards our (previously) more successful and profitable high technology segments (e.g. High End, Performance, and Size) and phase out our Traditional and Low End products.
