Benefits of Mass
Customisation
Higher Profits

By providing tailored products to meet particular needs, you make comparative
shopping difficult and you shift the focus from price
to benefits.
-
Whilst it is possible to manufacture at a mass produced price, you have
the option to charge a premium whilst still
retailing below the price of a custom product. This in turn will open your
product to a wider market.
Lower Costs
-
Mass customisation allows the ordinary man or women in the street to acquire
a product that has been produced to meet their own particular needs yet at
a competitive price - thus providing exceptional value
for money.
Market Exploitation

Personalised and customised products and services will
differentiate against commodity type products. With their similar
cost they will be doublely attractive.

ideas that can also be exploited with other customers or with
new prospects. As a result, NPD has lower risk of
failure and a higher chance of beating the competition.
-

can be linked to the unique product.
-
Companies will forge a close relationships
with their suppliers, distributors and customers as they return time and
time again for further unique products.
