Differentiation Strategy

This product differentiates itself by moving away from lace and embracing a minimalist, modern aesthetic with seamless construction. The value proposition is shifted from decorative lace to functional simplicity and affordability. By offering standard sizing and multi-pack options, it targets a price-sensitive consumer who prioritizes a clean look and stocking up on basics. The marketing would focus on the "second-skin" feel and its invisibility under activewear and everyday clothing.

Success Replication

The strategy is to replicate the core functional benefits that made the original a success. This includes retaining the trendy and flattering high-waist silhouette that offers a sense of security and a smooth look under clothes. It keeps the thong back to guarantee no visible panty lines, a primary purchase driver for this style. Finally, it focuses on all-day comfort, which Hanky Panky is known for, by using soft, stretchy materials.
