Price, place, promotion and product: with the invested money Devialet will be able in 2017:
1. Devide the firm better into (a small) firm of Expert driven specialities for a select number of shops with top of the line hifi solutions. The integration of expert with surround sound is one of them. In 2017 I expect that I must doubt between selling the brand new Oppo UHD205 and buying the new Devialet solution;
2. The larger business will contain the internet website with more "Apple minded" products, lower margins and larger quantities. Car solutions will be introduced and my Focal with Italian amplifiers in the cars will be replaced in 2018;
3. The firm will be more driven by a marketing mix and be less driven by technological innovations. In other words: the link for a dealer between selling one Phantom Gold and 3 pair of Phantoms silver at the same time will disappear. The number of shops which will sell Devialet will be less; on the other hand the quality of the shops will rise. Integration between sound and picture will rise further.
The Devialet company will rise from product minded into.......sold? Yes (partly) in 2019.
