Strategia di marketing dei campioni nascosti e marketing di nicchia

Campioni nascosti sono aziende relativamente sconosciute al pubblico ma che hanno performance invidiabili.

They are profitable niche players that focus on segments whose needs they can best meet.  They can achieve Competitive Advantages that larger and smaller companies cannot, such as strong Differentiation, Brand Positioning, Customer Loyalty, and lower unit production costs.

Caratteristiche di Campioni nascosti

• Minore riconoscimento del marchio
• Alto grado di soddisfazione del cliente
• Elevata fidelizzazione dei clienti
• Elevata redditività

Esempi di campioni nascosti

Sensata Technologies is a leading supplier of sensors and controls. Few people know about this major company, even though its products impact the automotive, appliance, aircraft, industrial, military, heavy vehicle, heating, air conditioning, data, telecommunications, recreational vehicle, and marine industries. In a decade, it has become a billion dollar company with a strong niche.

Kohler is another example of a hidden champion. The company is a mid-sized company expanding globally. But its focus remains not on being a meandering conglomerate, but a faucet manufacturer focused on consumers first and their desires for attractive and functional faucets. Unlike competitors focused predominately on market share and price competitiveness, Kohler focuses on the consumer (her appetite for design, technology and service) and is noted for its excellence as a result. Many consumers may not even know about Kohler, but plumbers as primary purchasers do because Kohler fulfills their needs.

Why the Hidden Champion Strategy works:

• Difficoltà nel costruire il riconoscimento del marchio nei mercati maturi
• Inability of companies to serve every market segment
• Focus on continuous innovation, best service, and customer value, instead of market share and influence
• Il top management rimane in contatto diretto con i clienti
• Potenziale per la soddisfazione del cliente e per essere più vicini al cliente rispetto ai mega concorrenti
