Seedstock Marketing Commodity or Consumer Monopoly
Business purpose To create a customer
Commodity • Where the decision to purchase the product is based on PRICE • Producer has very little control over setting the price • You can “take it or leave it”
Commodity • Typically the ROI is less than 12% (the average ROI in the stockmarket) • ROI is totally based on being a Low-Cost Producer
Consumer Monopoly • If the store does not carry it, they lose sales • ROI potential is greater than 12% • Inflation does not impact the ROI • Elite, brand name
Consumer Monopoly • You can’t live without it. • Manufacturer hopes it gets used quickly so you have to come back to buy more.
Seedstock Producer • provide genetic material in a user friendly package which improves the profitability of the commercial producer. • Provides customer service which may include education, buy-back, etc • Sells Genetic Value, not Pounds. • Deliver what you promise • Fill their needs/wants
