Product features: Describe the core functions, technical advantages, innovations, etc. of the product in detail. For example, Tesla electric vehicles have the characteristics of long range, fast charging, and intelligent driving.
Market situation: Analyze the market performance, competitive trends, etc. of the product in the early and mainstream markets. For example, Tesla received support from a group of technology enthusiasts and environmentalists in the high-end electric vehicle market in the early stage, and gradually penetrated into the mainstream market in the later stage.
2. Strategies to cross the gap
Target Market Selection: Explain how a company chooses a target market, including niche market positioning and market expansion strategies. For example, Tesla initially chose the high-end electric vehicle market as a niche market, and then gradually expanded to the mid- and low-end market.
Marketing portfolio adjustment
Product strategy: Explain the company's optimization and improvement of products for mainstream markets. For example, in order to meet the needs of mainstream consumers, Tesla has launched relatively affordable models on the basis of maintaining its high performance, while continuously optimizing the interior design of the vehicle to improve riding comfort and ease of use, and continuously upgrading the intelligent driving function to make it safer and more reliable.
Pricing strategy: Analyze the company's pricing ideas and adjustment process. Tesla has adopted a strategy of gradually decreasing the price range, first setting up brand image and technical benchmarks with high-end models. As technology matures and costs decrease, it will launch more competitive models to attract mainstream consumers, and at the same time respond to market competition and cost changes through price adjustments.
Channel strategy: Introduce how the company expands its sales channels to cover the mainstream market. On the one hand, Tesla opens experience stores and service centers in major cities around the world, so that consumers can experience and understand the products themselves; on the other hand, it actively develops online sales channels, simplifies the car purchase process, and improves sales efficiency.
Promotional strategy: Tells about the promotional methods and brand promotion activities adopted by the company. Tesla has increased brand awareness and product exposure by holding test drive events, online promotion, social media marketing, etc., while using customer word-of-mouth communication and brand community construction to enhance consumers' sense of identity and loyalty to the brand.

Brand building and communication: Focus on brand building, attract consumers through unique brand image and values, and use multiple channels to promote and communicate to improve brand awareness and reputation.
Ecosystem construction: Actively establish a market ecosystem, share resources with partners and complement each other's advantages, and create a good ecological environment for product promotion and application.
Failure to cross the gap
1. Case introduction
Company background: introduce the development history, business field, market position and other situation of the case company. For example, a company that once had a certain reputation in the field of smart wearable devices focused on the research and development and production of sports monitoring bracelets in the early days.
Product features: Describe the functions, characteristics of the product and its compatibility with market demand. The company's sports monitoring bracelets have basic functions such as sports data recording and sleep monitoring, but there are some shortcomings in appearance design, battery life and data accuracy.
Market situation: Analyze the performance of products in early and mainstream markets, as well as the competitive pressures they face. In the early market, the product gained the attention of some sports enthusiasts with certain innovative functions, but when entering the mainstream market, it faced fierce competition from brands such as Apple and Xiaomi.
2. Analysis of the cause of failure
Target market positioning error: The company may not accurately grasp the demand characteristics of the mainstream market and position the target market too narrow or too vague. For example, the company overemphasizes the product's motion monitoring capabilities and ignores mainstream consumers' demand for the fashion and versatility of smart wearable devices.
Improper marketing strategy
Product strategy: The product update speed is slow, and the function upgrade and optimization cannot be carried out in time based on market feedback, resulting in a decline in product competitiveness.
Pricing strategy: The pricing is too high or unreasonable, without taking into account the price sensitivity and competitive trends of mainstream markets. The company's products are relatively expensive, and they cannot set a gap with their competitors in terms of functionality and quality.
Channel strategy: The sales channel is single, and the failure to make full use of mainstream channels for product promotion and sales, resulting in limited market coverage of the product.
Promotional strategy: Lack of effective promotional methods and brand promotion activities, insufficient brand awareness and product exposure, making it difficult to attract the attention of mainstream consumers.
Technology and product defects: There are technical bottlenecks in the product, such as poor battery life and low data accuracy, which affects the user experience and reduces consumers' willingness to buy and reputation.
Lack of ecosystems: Without a complete market ecosystem, lack of cooperation and collaborative development with other related companies, it is impossible to provide consumers with more complete solutions and value-added services.
3. Lessons and revelations
Understand market demand: Before product research and development and marketing, sufficient market research should be conducted to deeply understand the demand characteristics, consumption habits and competitive trends of mainstream markets to ensure accurate product positioning.
Flexible adjustment of marketing strategies: Timely adjust marketing portfolio strategies according to market changes and competition conditions, including products, prices, channels and promotions, etc., to improve market adaptability and competitiveness.
Focus on technological innovation and product quality: Continue to invest R&D resources, continuously improve the technical level and quality of products, solve the defects and problems of products, and improve user experience and satisfaction.
Build a market ecosystem: Actively establish cooperative relationships with partners, jointly build a market ecosystem, realize resource sharing and complementary advantages, and create a good environment for product development.
