Failing at Marketing, "ALL HIKVISION PRODUCTS" On Sale

Author: John Honovich, Published on Apr 18, 2017

The ballerinas are out.

The price cuts are back.

Hikvision is struggling to build a premium brand (i.e., 'The Art of Video Surveillance') so they have reverted to what has worked best - putting "ALL HIKVISION PRODUCTS" on sale.

In this note, we contrast Hikvision's failing marketing campaign vs the tactic of further across the board price cuts.
