Summary
"Marketers Philip Kotler and Fernando Trias de Bes present a new system for developing breakthrough opportunities - lateral marketing. Lateral marketing complements traditional marketing by providing an alternative route to generating fresh new ideas. Whereas vertical marketing helps us find increasingly smaller subgroups for which a product might be developed, lateral marketing lets marketers develop an entirely new product that finds a much wider audience. Instead of offering just another diaper for newborns in a cutthroat market, for example, Pull Up diapers are designed for an older child." "This book defines a framework and theory for lateral marketing and the development of breakthrough ideas that will succeed in a consumer market already over-saturated. By removing the limitations of traditional marketing as a mechanism for developing new ideas, Kotler and Trias de Bes show marketers how to beat the high odds of product failure and achieve breakthrough success."--BOOK JACKET.
