Marketing Strategies for Challenger Firms - YouTube Video Lectures
http://nraomtr.blogspot.com/2011/12/marketing-strategies-for-challenger.html
Introduction
Firms that are not market leaders in their industry or product category are trailing firms. One or two of them could be close competitors to the market leader and they can be termed as runner-up firms. These firms can take the role of challengers when they make aggressive efforts to further their market share or they can be termed followers when they keep quiet and maintain their market share.
There are successful trailing firms which challenged and became industry No. 1 firms. Canon is one such example in copiers. Toyota is now the world No. 1 company in automobiles; it displaced General Motors.
The challenger companies have to attack the leader, other comparable firms, and smaller firms in their bid to gain market share.
Attack has a greater probability of success when there is customer dissatisfaction with the current leader. There is a gap in the market which the leader is not serving. Comparable firms can be successfully attacked when they are underfinanced and are charging excessive prices and customers are showing dissatisfaction. Similarly, underfinanced smaller firms can be attacked to gain market share.
With each attack, the challenger may hope to gain a reasonable increase in its market share.

What does it take to challenge the dominant brand in your category? In addition to a great product, you need a marketing plan with the courage to challenge the status quo. In this session, a CMO and his agency partner discussed what it takes for a brand to spark growth and innovation within a category, how to reshape the category and become No. 1, and how to hold onto the challenger brand mentality to maintain its leadership and no. 1 position.
