Now again… see the revenue, imagine the brands that exist in each and every one of these categories.

When you create a brandnew category, you will not compete in any of these already existing categories, or else you’ll be fighting for less than 25% of the scraps. To the person who creates the new category… a crown, and a well-earned 70+% of the market share of their new category.

Happy Category Designing!
