The Agility of Small Brands Versus Large Corporations
Small brands are often more agile and capable of adapting to market changes compared to large corporations, which tend to operate like massive ships that are difficult to turn. Big companies often rely on extensive research, focus groups, and large-scale marketing to ensure success, but this approach can lead to missed opportunities and stagnant products. For example, when businesses attempt to saturate markets quickly without understanding local demand, they risk introducing products that become forgotten or overlooked, like dusty bottles on shelves. Instead, smaller brands that test ideas in select markets and adapt their strategies based on real-time feedback can create meaningful engagement and establish strong connections with consumers.
