From the 800-Pound Gorilla to a Mickey Mouse Corporation in 10 years

Using the Internet to stay relevant in today’s market share.

In the 1990s, Nokia had predicted what the smartphone would look like in the future.  They had spent millions on research and had even developed a touch screen that looked like the iPad.

“Nokia actually developed the sorts of devices that consumers are gobbling up today.  It just didn’t bring them to market. In a strategic blunder, it shifted its focus from smartphones back to basic phones right as the iPhone upended the market,” according to the Wall Street Journal.

Nokia had over 40% of the smartphone market share in the early 2000s.  By 2013 it only had 3% of the market share. It went from the 800-pound gorilla to a Mickey Mouse corporation in just 10 years.  This story is not unique.

It happens every single day.  It happened to BlockBuster, Toys R’ Us, and many others.  The entrepreneur marketplace is like a graveyard, it’s riddled with dead companies.

And it will happen to the roofing industry too.

The companies that adapt to the modern way of doing business will continue to gain market share and eventually put the other companies out of business.

Don’t be like Nokia.  It’s time to adapt to the Internet and start heavily investing in your online presence.
