Try to be innovative
Innovation is valued in every industry. This is why many companies strive to improve their products and services enough to show a different approach than their competitors. For example, as users, we are more likely to replace an old smartphone model with a new one equipped with additional functions. Rather than a new one with the same features as the previous one. Therefore, being an innovator can bring more benefits in the long run than adopting a follower strategy. However, it is a very risky approach.
Watch out for competition and learn from others mistakes
Every innovator must remember that competitors will be watching their decisions. Any mistakes can bring negative consequences for the company and at the same time strengthen rivals in the market. A perfect example is Samsung, which in 2019 released the Galaxy Fold series of foldable smartphones. Unfortunately, the copies that went to some reviewers turned out to be defective and began to crack during testing. The high price of the device and the failure rate made the first release of the devices unpopular among users.
Don't wait too long with your product
Many companies that follow innovators learn from the mistakes they make. Failures can be used to improve products. You should remember that your product will never be perfect, and certainly not at launch. Therefore, it is worth being open to changes and improvements, but you shouldn't slow down the development. Too much perfectionism may cause that the project you are working on will not be an innovation after further corrections, and the race for the position of market leader will be won by another company.
Adapt quickly to changes to become a market leader
Responding to current customer needs and looking for competitive advantages can be helpful in developing a strong market position. The final customer pays attention not only to the product, but also to its packaging, method of distribution and even the environmental impact of the company's activities. Therefore, it is worthwhile to go a few steps ahead and provide him with everything he expects. Market leaders are able to adapt quickly to changes, thanks to which they are able to secure a stable position for many years.

They are often the key to success.
