Example ”Curves”
Market / problem: ◦ The awerage woman in the USA alianated herself from tradi@onal fitness gyms. ◦ They became non-‐users or preferred excersising at home.
◦ The market was considered to be oversaturated.
Curves soluSon: ◦ Curves moved out to ask the non-‐users for their reasons for not ahending conven@onal gyms.
◦ Eventually an untapped market was created allowing for social interchange and more lady privacy.
◦ Mirrors where removed, machinery was exchanged for hydraulic versions easy to use.
◦ Service was reduced but focussed on the true need of the customer.
◦ Lower costs allowed for reduced pricing that opened up a market for a broad mass of women.
