The offering of the differed stock keeping units is based on the evidence for the dozens for the configuration that involves different brands, sizes and the single product for the entire target market. The approach is for the industries with competitors recognizing the opportunity and the niches of customers with the needs that are served poorly through the demand soared with competitors offering the products that are matched through fragmenting the customer desires. The category is about the growth in size with the competitors recognizing the opportunity with the niches of customers that are poorly served through the incumbent products and the targets with tailoring of the offering of the alignment with the needs.
