Defending your established brand from storage copycats
For an established storage brand, copycats are a constant nuisance, but they only win if you let them. If you stop innovating or stop telling your story, you make it easy for them. You need to double down on your brand equity and remind everyone why you are the leader in the industry, which you can do using a managed content network.

Storage and organization brand, established: copycat competitors undercut on price.
The challenge of the established leader
You are the leader, and everyone is trying to be you. Copycats are inevitable when you are successful. The danger is not that they win, but that you start to doubt your own brand strategy. You do not need to drop your prices. You need to keep building your brand and keep showing the world why your quality and service are unmatched. You have the advantage of being the original, so use it. Keep your story front and center and stay true to your brand's core values.
What is a managed content network
A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post the brand's existing videos many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, so organic reach grows with the number of pages instead of headcount or ad spend. This lets you keep your message in front of everyone, everywhere. It is a powerful way to reinforce your position as the brand of choice in the storage space, leaving copycats far behind.
Maintaining your leadership
This strategy allows you to protect your market share and keep growing. The cost to run this is about the cost of one marketing hire, and it is a small investment for the peace of mind and brand protection it offers. You are showing the market that you are not going anywhere, and your quality will always be the standard. This is the key to maintaining your leadership in an industry that is constantly trying to copy your success.
Onboarding your provider
Send your provider your entire library of brand-building content, and focus on your values and your story. Provide details on why your products are the best in the market. The provider will then set up the network and start sharing your message, keeping your brand at the forefront of everyone's minds. You focus on your long-term strategy and your customers while the network protects your market share and reinforces your leadership status in the industry.
