As artificial intelligence makes competence cheaper and more accessible, businesses must rethink how they differentiate, compete on price and create lasting customer value.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When an Expensive Product Sells a Much Bigger Dream<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What can a multimillion-dollar bra teach us about the future of business?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quite a lot, as it turns out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Victoria’s Secret presented its spectacular Fantasy Bra, it was never intended as a mass-market product. Its extraordinary craftsmanship, precious stones and association with glamour placed it far beyond the reach of ordinary wasn’ters. Yet it wasn’t meant to generate sales from the handful of people who could afford it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Victoria\u2019s<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The real opportunity lay elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fantasy Bra created a spectacle around the brand. It attracted attention, generated conversations and reinforced an image of glamour and desirability. Consumers who could never own that creation could still purchase the company’s regular lingerie. The extraordinary product helped make the everyday product more desirable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This illustrates a powerful business principle: one offering can create aspiration while another generates volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artificial intelligence introduces a related challenge. As technology makes certain capabilities easier and cheaper to reproduce, businesses must reconsider what customers will pay a premium for and what they can deliver profitably at scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Problem With Being Reasonably Good<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For decades, many businesses succeeded by occupying a comfortable position between luxury and low cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They offered acceptable quality, dependable service and reasonable prices. They did not have to be the best or the cheapest. Customers chose them because alternatives were limited, switching was inconvenient, or the differences between competing offerings were difficult to establish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That model remains viable in many markets. However, its foundations are becoming less secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider a marketing agency that charges a monthly retainer to produce social media content, campaign reports and routine creative material. Its work is competent, its employees are experienced, and its clients are reasonably satisfied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now imagine a competitor using AI to produce comparable first drafts, analyse campaign performance and generate creative variations at a fraction of the traditional delivery cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The established agency has to reconsider its position. It could reduce prices, demonstrate greater value or redesign its operating model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simply continuing as before becomes increasingly difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Businesses are particularly vulnerable when they have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Products or services that competitors can easily replicate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pricing that reflects traditional delivery costs rather than customer-perceived value.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Little differentiation beyond acceptable quality and dependable execution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Processes that consume significant time without creating a corresponding customer benefit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    These are not necessarily bad businesses. Their problem is that the capabilities supporting their commercial value are becoming easier to access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    AI Is Changing the Economics of Competition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    People often describe artificial intelligence as a productivity tool. It helps employees write faster, analyse information, automate repetitive tasks and produce more output with less effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    The strategic implications go much further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    When the cost of performing a task falls, the economics of delivering the associated service change. Activities that previously required specialist teams, substantial working hours or expensive infrastructure can become accessible to smaller businesses and new competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A small company can undertake research that once required a dedicated analyst. An entrepreneur can develop a basic digital product without building a large technical team. Professionals can automate administrative work and spend more time with clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    AI is changing three important aspects of competition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • The cost of competence:<\/strong> More businesses can access capabilities that previously required significant resources.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The speed of execution:<\/strong> Research, production and analysis can often be completed faster.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The economics of scale:<\/strong> Smaller teams can potentially serve more customers without proportionately increasing operating costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      However, cheaper production does not automatically translate into a profitable business. Customer acquisition, quality control, distribution, trust and retention still matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The companies that benefit most will use AI to rethink their operating models rather than add another tool to existing processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Two Ways to Build a Stronger Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      One useful way to approach this changing environment is to examine two broad sources of competitive advantage: distinctive value and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The first involves creating something customers consider sufficiently valuable to pay more for. The second involves delivering useful value at a cost that allows the business to serve a much larger market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Make the value difficult to replicate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Premium positioning works when customers recognise a meaningful difference between an offering and its alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      That difference could come from specialist expertise, original design, trusted relationships, superior performance, a strong reputation or an experience that competitors struggle to reproduce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Consider a financial adviser. AI can help generate investment summaries, explain financial concepts and compare scenarios. But a client facing a complex financial decision may also value an adviser who understands the family’s circumstances, identifies risks, explains trade-offs and takes responsibility for the advice provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      The premium cannot rest on information alone when information becomes widely accessible. It must rest on the quality of interpretation, service and outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Businesses seeking to strengthen premium positioning should focus on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Expertise:<\/strong> Develop knowledge that goes beyond easily available information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Trust:<\/strong> Build relationships and a reputation for delivering on promises.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Distinctiveness:<\/strong> Offer experiences, products or perspectives that customers can recognise.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Accountability:<\/strong> Take responsibility for outcomes, not just for supplying information or deliverables.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        The same principle applies to brands. When competing products offer similar functional benefits, reputation, identity and emotional relevance can influence the final choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        2. Make useful value accessible to more people<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        The alternative is to build a business around efficiency, repeatability and reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Imagine a company offering bookkeeping services to small businesses. A traditional service may involve substantial manual data entry, routine reconciliation and repetitive reporting. An AI-enabled operation could automate parts of this work, standardise delivery, and support a larger customer base without proportionately increasing costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The opportunity is to make professional assistance affordable to businesses that might otherwise manage their accounts themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        A scalable business needs to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Standardise processes wherever individual customisation adds little value.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Automate repetitive tasks while retaining appropriate human oversight.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Reduce the cost and complexity of serving each additional customer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Use technology to improve accessibility, speed and consistency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Maintain service quality while expanding its customer base.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          But scale requires more than low prices. The business must control acquisition costs, protect customer data, maintain reliability and retain customers long enough to generate sustainable returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          AI creates the possibility of better economics. The business model determines whether those economics become a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The Middle Is Not the Enemy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          It’s easy to interpret this shift too simplistically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Not every business needs to become a luxury brand or the cheapest provider in its category. Many successful companies occupy the middle of their markets because they offer a compelling balance of quality, convenience, reliability and price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          A neighbourhood retailer may thrive because customers trust it and find it convenient. A software company may succeed because its product integrates seamlessly into existing workflows. A specialist manufacturer may command loyalty through consistent quality and dependable delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          These businesses are not stuck in the middle. They have a reason to be chosen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The real vulnerability lies in being interchangeable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          A company that charges an average price for an average product, delivers an average experience and offers no distinctive advantage has little protection when competitors become more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          The distinction is important:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • A mid-market business<\/strong> can succeed through a well-defined customer segment and a compelling value proposition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • An undifferentiated business<\/strong> struggles because customers cannot identify a meaningful reason to choose it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • An AI-enabled competitor<\/strong> can intensify the pressure by delivering comparable functionality at a lower cost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            The question is therefore not where a business sits on the price spectrum. It is whether a meaningful advantage supports that position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            What This Means for Brands and Marketing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            AI makes producing content, advertising variations, and campaign assets faster and more accessible. As these capabilities spread, producing more material will not necessarily help a brand stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            When every competitor can generate hundreds of social media posts, content volume becomes a weaker differentiator. When every agency can produce a presentation quickly, the presentation itself becomes less valuable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            What matters instead is the thinking behind the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Does the brand understand its customer better?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Does it have a distinctive point of view?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Can it identify an unmet need and establish a meaningful position?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Does it translate that position into experiences customers recognise?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Can it demonstrate that its marketing creates measurable business outcomes?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              AI can support these activities through research, analysis and experimentation. But the company must still make strategic choices about whom it serves, what it stands for and why it deserves attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              There is also an opportunity to make professional services more accessible. Smaller businesses can get customised marketing support, niche audiences can be served cost-effectively, and companies can experiment with products without committing enormous upfront resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              The challenge is to combine efficiency with differentiation. If automation reduces costs but makes the brand indistinguishable from its competitors, the business may become cheaper to operate without becoming more valuable to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Five Questions Business Leaders Should Ask<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              Before investing in AI, leaders should examine the strategic implications for their businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              1. What are customers really paying us for?<\/strong> Identify the outcomes, experiences and capabilities that influence purchasing decisions, rather than focusing only on the activities involved in delivering the product.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              2. Which parts of our offering are becoming easier to replicate?<\/strong> Determine where competitors can use AI to provide comparable value and where pricing pressure is likely to emerge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              3. Why should customers choose us?<\/strong> Identify tangible advantages such as specialist knowledge, reputation, proprietary information, distribution, integration or demonstrably better outcomes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              4. Where can AI improve our economics?<\/strong> Examine opportunities to reduce delivery costs, shorten turnaround times, improve service, and reach customers we previously couldn’t serve profitably.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              5. What will we do with the advantage we create?<\/strong> Decide whether efficiency gains will support lower prices, stronger margins, better customer experiences, investment in differentiation or a combination of these outcomes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                The final question is particularly important. Cost savings do not automatically create strategic advantage. Competitors may achieve similar savings, and price reductions may quickly become necessary to remain competitive. Businesses must decide how to convert productivity into lasting value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The Real Test of an AI-Ready Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

                The enduring lesson from the Fantasy Bra is that a product’s value can extend far beyond its direct sales. It can shape perception, strengthen a brand and influence the commercial performance of a wider portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                AI introduces a different but related challenge. It changes the cost of creating and delivering value, forcing businesses to reconsider what customers will pay for and what they can deliver more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Some will succeed by offering exceptional expertise, distinctive product experiences, and products that carry meaning beyond their functional benefits. Others will win by making useful services affordable and accessible at scale. Many will combine these approaches across different products and customer segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                A business that relies on doing ordinary things in an ordinary way will be harder to sustain while expecting customers to see a compelling reason to pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The strategic priority is not to adopt AI simply because competitors are doing so. It is to understand how AI changes the business’s economics, identify the advantage that remains defensible, and redesign the organisation around that advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The most important question for a business leader is not, “How much of our work can AI do?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                It is this: Now that more businesses can do what we do, what will make customers choose us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                The answer will determine whether AI becomes merely a tool for greater efficiency or the foundation of a genuinely stronger business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
