Conclusion:

It’s obvious that Emerging players must adopt an aggressive pricing strategy to win market share from incumbents. The price competition analysis of sunglasses retailers in the cluster indicates an aggressive pricing strategy of emerging retailers will become a major threat to Large retailers. A customer most often will purchase sunglasses from an Emerging Retailer vs a large incumbent if an emerging retailer has good customer reviews and offers a lower price. Leading Sunglasses Retailers risk getting caught in the crossfire of fierce price competition and losing if they aren’t actively managing this.

Large retailers like Nordstrom compare their prices against large companies like themselves. They may ignore one-off small sellers, which is fine. However, they must remain vigilant of emerging aggressive competitors.
