First Mover

December 12, 2013  |     |     |   0 Comment

A first mover is the business that goes into or establishes a niche first before other competitors come in later.

The first mover advantage enables the business to make its brand name synonymous with the industry and establish a strong brand and loyalty among consumers. By the time, competitors come into the niche, the first mover is seen as the number 1 in the sector with respect to market share and brand recognition. Everyone else is competing for the number 2 spot.
