Reading this, I was reminded of a book with some marketing basics.<p>When there's a lot of other products similar to your own, you don't have a lot of independent pricing power. Price elasticity of demand is elastic with lots of substitutes.<p>Then for the 4Ps - Product, Price, Promotion, Place.<p>To make something successful, at least one of these needs to be really compelling and none of them a blocker.<p>The book's called Marketing Management and, I feel, well worth a flick through for any maker that wants revenue.
