How to muscle in on AI market dominance?
Posted: Wed Nov 30, 2016 11:49 pm
Got much further in apparel starting scenario, and got to the sub goal of achieving market dominance in the apparel industry. This seems to be quite difficult.
There are seaports supplying mid-quality leather jackets, for example. AI company snaps these up and retails them at such a preposterous discount that those weak-ass buster jackets have an overall quality equivalent to my highly branded (80 or more) and high tech (70 or more) jackets. Brand appears to be accomplishing extremely little here. I use range branding for this scenario.
There doesn't seem to be any way to dislodge this company from market dominance. I figured at some point my huge advertising and tech advantage would eventually increase my market share - I also opened additional retail stores all over the place, including directly next to the competing department stores (I used apparel stores).
I screwed up this game initially because I was letting AI buy my high-tech branded jackets and sell them, but once I managed to get to internal sales only, the seaport clothing is still competitive with my much better clothing, which I don't understand.
Please enlighten me, if you can. Much obliged!
