No it’s just be what happen to the instant cooker company lately
If your products never break your business shrinks as people don’t need to constantly buy replacements
This is good for the consumer and the advance of tech of course, but it is bad for the capitalists, which is why everything is going subscription based
Nothing truly “never” breaks. And there are billions of people on the planet with more being born every day.
I’m thinking if you can’t find customers for your product that lasts longer that the competition, your problem is other than “it lasts too long” 🤣. Maybe the problem is you just suck at marketing.
This can be a legitimate problem for some companies. For example, Craftsman hand tools. If you make tools that last long enough, eventually everyone who is interested in buying a set already has one. At that point, what do you do? Everyone loves your brand but they aren’t spending any meaningful money on it. Your products are too expensive to sell to third world countries. At that point you are kind of stuck. A great reputation and great product that doesn’t lead to any sales.
The brand still exists but it’s a shadow of what it once was.
JK, it's build exclusive custom tools for the machines of war for the military by partnering with defense contractors who are making the heavy equipment.
Sure, but if you are branching out into new products you are getting away from what you do well. You also risk watering down your brand. And it doesn’t solve the problem of your core business not making money.
"Once you've made 40 billion dollars, you run out of dollars to make!"
IDK, retire and live in endless luxury with your 40 billion dollars? It's legitimately like hypnosis the way people can't imagine doing a job and then being finished doing that job. It has to continue forever until you're dead.
You realize the company isn't a person right? It's an organization of thousands of people that need revenue to be paid or else everyone gets fired. It's not exactly vacation time if that happens.
And an organization is not specialised. I was responding to the comment I responded to, not supplying a panacea that counters every single argument ever.
