Featured excerpt: “In response to the ever-increasing total cost of customer acquisition, many business models adopted by online retailers have directly or indirectly focused on the Pareto Principle regarding product sales and revenue. This asserts that 80% of inventory sales are made up of about 20% of high-demand items, or similarly that 80% of inventory sales are driven by 20% of loyal customers. Therefore, they have focused on marketing a small range of high-demand products to a small group of consumers. This strategy, while effective, does little in the way of solving the issue of ever-increasing competition, and may even lead to increased market saturation. However, within this situation, another unique business model is crept up which seeks to take advantage of the current inadequacies of the market. It does this by capitalizing on the underserved consumer base and low-demand products, which most digital retailers ignore. We’re referring to none other than the Long Tail Business Model.” Table of content Introduction What Is The Long Tail Strategy?
