Critique of a Niche Market Strategy
A company implements a strategy to offer customized, made-to-measure suits—a product traditionally available only to the very wealthy—to a much broader market at a significantly lower price. A market analyst argues this 'affordable luxury' model is unsustainable because it will be simultaneously pressured by low-cost, mass-market producers from below and high-end, traditional artisans from above. Evaluate the validity of the analyst's argument. In your response, defend a position on whether this strategy is more likely to succeed or fail, explaining the single most critical factor for its success.
