    What is Netflix’s strategy in the on-line movie rental market? What are Netflix’s sources of competitive advantage? Identify the competences key to the success of Netflix’s strategy and explain why. Netflix was a late entrant to the movie rental market and it was a first mover in the on – line movie rental market. Netflix’s strategy in the movie rental market is differentiation from traditional movie rental stores. Instead of attracting customers to a retail location, Netflix offered home delivery of DVDs through the mail. Why only DVDs? In 1998, most available movies were in VHS cassette format but Netflix concentrated on using only DVDs because its marketing strategy was to develop cross promotional programs with the manufacturers and sellers of DVD players, providing a source of content for the customers. Also, there was no competition in that niche market and DVDs were small and light which made them perfect for mail delivery.…

    The key issue that was facing Netflix early on was the selective market of people that were into the DVD market. Most were still with VHS market at this time and it gave them a small problem during start-up. But, with that changing market they knew that consumers will soon turn to DVD’s and leave behind their old technology of VHS. They also faced the problem of most Blockbuster being a 10 minute drive from at least 70% of U.S. populated homes. This makes their whole sales pitch of people not having to leave their homes to rent movies even harder due to the number of available Blockbusters. With Netflix no late fee policy this made it easier for them to get more sales because Blockbuster charged late fees.…
