highest potential for growth in the Indian textile due to its network of
facilities In India, people are breaking away from
traditional methods and lifestyles. This changed mindset is creating a huge
demand for products that are distinctive. The most important factor in which
a firm needs to focus is to understand the consumer. As
retail only functions as a channel for goods to flow to the consumer,
spinners of normal yarn is not having the opportunity to have a vibrant link
with the consumer. It goes without saying, consumer needs differentiation.

the product platform. Amsler Concept is an example of a successful product
family based on common platform. Product platforms based on design elegance

appetite for new design and gives a respite from usual yarn surface. The
concept facilitates to create a powerful differentiated offering to the
customers. When marketers discover an unexploited segment that has sales
potential, they can work with developers to quickly spin out a product that
appeals to customers in that segment. In each case the platform is the same,
only the outer trappings of the product are different. The concept enables
to create products with an emphasis on a particular need to differentiate.
Brand image, quality and effort were the most important variables in the
success of the concept. It is important
that a company involved in the Amsler network understands the consumer and
be willing to invest time and resource in order to continuously maintain the
consumer base. Due to technological intensive nature of the effect yarn
