Competition and competitors (1) • No demand – no customer demand • No supply – no relevant data • Companies using their own or alternative data • Third parties – resellers taking the market • Other governmental statistics – see www.dr.dk/kriminalitet, www.statistik.politi.dk • Free data • Etc.
Co-operation and partnerships (2) • Creating joint projects with public or private companies • Denmark: The National Square Grid created in partnership with National Mapping Agency www.kms.dk • Denmark: Products combining maps and statistical data online – XPoint www.dst.dk/xpoint. Created in partnership with Neozone www.neozone.com • Denmark: Presenting griddata by reseller Geomatic www.conzoom.net
Sales strategy – distribution channels (3) • Direct sales: customer direct contact • Indirect sales: sales through reseller who either distribute products without any change or adding data and creating a new product – customer primarialy indirect contact. • Statistics Denmark: The statistical division focus in Social Statistics primarialy on public customers. Interview- and Market Service focus primarialy on private customers but also on municipalities, surveys and geographical data.
Reseller agreements – content and approach (4a) • Royalty model for resellers. • Option 1: Purchase of data for resale purpose • Option 2: Distribution of data without purchase. • Royalty option 1a: Either flat fee 40% Statistics Denmark, 60% reseller (for 2nd sale). First purchase full price. • Royalty option 1b: Fee related to total sales, level 1: 50% vs. 50%, level 2: 33,3% vs. 66.7%, level 3: 25% vs 75% (Statistics Denmark vs. reseller).
Reseller agreements – content and approach (4b) • Royalty option 2a: first sale 75% Statistics Denmark, 25% reseller. • Royalty option 2b: second sale same product 70% Statistics Denmark, 30% reseller. • Basic principle of pricing: Cost recovery • Argument for reseller royalty model: Reduction of customer relationship management ”CRM” and belief in creating a product with greater added value leading to cost reduction.
