The market research results showed something quite different

The market research results showed something quite different. Customers felt that the original recipe product was a better offering, and thought that it was worth a premium price. They reported being confused by why crispy and original recipe were priced the same. They also had some doubts about the   MBT Chapa Shoes quality of the crispy product, which created doubts about the quality of original recipe if it was sold at the same price.

A test was made of charging a five percent premium for original recipe, along with putting a blue ribbon on the containers. Volume both increased for original recipe and for KFC. Consumers reported that the original recipe quality rose. And it may well have. Knowing that customers had to pay more for it, the cooks may have paid more attention. This successful program ran for many years before parity pricing between the two products was reintroduced by a new management team.

Introducing a premium-priced brand can make a similar positive impact on adding profitable market share. Black & Decker found this out when it added the more expensive DeWalt line of portable power tools. While many people who do home-improvements want the least expensive product that will get the job done, others take pride in their work and enjoy having the MBT Tembea Shoes,feel and look of top quality tools while they are working. And those tool lovers will happily pay a hefty price premium for that sense of being well-tooled.

By offering both brands, Black & Decker can be more competitive on price with those who care about that feature of a product offering while being more competitive on image and quality for those who are more sensitive about those factors. As a result, the company was able to gain market share and expand profits even faster.
