A successful product differentiation strategy will move your product from competing based primarily on price to competing on non-price factors (such as product characteristics, distribution strategy, or promotional variables).
Most people think that companies differentiate their products to be able to charge more for their product.
This is a very simpliticx view, that does not cover all aspects.
If customers like what the firs has to offer, they will be less sensitive to the offers of other compamies.
Price may not be one of these aspects.
Differentiation makes customers in a given segment have a lower sensitivity to other features (non-price) of the product.
Vertical product differentiation
Vertical product differentiation can be measured objectively by a consumer, for example when comparing two similar products the quality and price can clearly be identified and ranked by the customer.
If both A and B products are charged the same price to the consumer, then the market share for each one will be positive, according to the Hotelling model.
The major theory in this is all consumers prefer the higher quality product if two distinct products are offered at the same price.
A product can differ in many vertical attributes such as its operating speed.
What really matters is the relationship between consumers willingness to pay for improvements in quality and the increase in cost per unit that comes with such improvements.
Therefore, the perceived difference in quality is different with different consumer, so it is objective.
A green product might be having a lower or zero negative effect on the environment, however, it may turn out to be inferior than other products in other aspects.
Hence, it also depends on the way it is advertised and the social pressure a potential consumer is living in.
Even one vertical differentiation can be a decisive factor in purchasing.
Horizontal product differentiation
Horizontal differentiation seeks to affect an individual's subjective decision-making.
The difference cannot be measured in an objective way.
For example, different color versions of the same iPhone or MacBook.
A lemon ice cream is not superior to a chocolate ice cream, is completely based on the user's preference.
A restaurant may price all of its desserts at the same price and lets the consumer freely choose its preferences since all the alternatives cost the same.
A clear example of Horizontal Product Differentiation can be seen when comparing Coca Cola and Pepsi: if priced the same then individuals will differentiate between the two based purely on their own taste preference.
Other types of product differentiation
Usually, product differentiation is seen as either vertical or horizontal.
Most forms of product differentiation have both horizontal and vertical product differentiations.
Those two are not the only way to differentiate products.
Another way to differentiate a product is through spatial differentiation.
Spatial Product Differentiation is using a geographical location as a way to differentiate.
An example of Spatial Differentiation is a firm locally sourcing inputs and producing their product.

A severe weather and tornado outbreak happened between December 10 and 11, 2021.
In the outbreak, there were just under 70 tornadoes involved, along with severe thunderstorms traveled across the U.S. states of Missouri, Arkansas, Kentucky, Illinois and Tennessee.
Across Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee and Illinois, the tornado sequence might have carved a path of almost 250 miles.
If confirmed, that may have broken the record of the 1925 Tri-State tornado as the longest such event on record.
The starting report on several tornadoes is that they were EF4.
89 people were confirmed killed by the outbreak.
The Governor of Kentucky (at that time) stated that beyond seventy people might have been killed in the state alone.

A strong tornado struck Vicksburg, Mississippi and areas nearby during the evening of December 5, 1953.
The storm ran through the city at right after 5:30 pm that Saturday evening.
The event killed 38 people.
It was then the fourth deadliest tornado in the history of the state.
It also injured almost 270.
Damage totaled $25 million at the time.
The tornado that went through Vicksburg was estimated officially as an F5.
That rating, however, is questionable.
That's because the property destroyed was frail and weak.
Some people call this tornado likely an F4 instead of an F5.

Cinderella effect is the name for a phenomenon found in psychology: Child abuse and mistreatment is more common in families with stepparents.
It is named after the fairy tale Cinderella, where a girl gets mistreated by her stepsisters and stepmother.
Psychologists think this shows a bias towards kin.
A person has fewer incentives to invest in a child that is not his or her direct offspring.
P.D. Scott first used the term Cinderella effect, in a study he did in 1973: He studied 29 cases of babies who were  beaten to death in anger; he found that in 15 cases, the baby's stepfather was the killer.

Clara Cannucciari (née Bonfanti; August 18, 1915 – November 29, 2013) hosted the web series Great Depression Cooking with Clara and wrote the book Clara's Kitchen.
Clara was born in Melrose Park, Illinois on August 18, 1915 to Giuseppe and Giuseppina Bonfanti, who recently moved from Sicily.
The family had a bad life during the Great Depression, but ended up safe and healthy because Giuseppina made their meals last longer.
In 2007, her grandson Christopher started making the web series Great Depression Cooking with Clara, in which she made those meals.
She retired shortly after her 96th birthday.
Their last video, Fried Fish, was posted on April 18, 2019.
On March 25, 2020, Christopher said he would start uploading more videos of Clara.
Clara died on November 29, 2013 at 98 years old.
Her daughter-in-law, four grandchildren and three great-grandchildren were still alive.

A city block is a block of houses, in a built up area.
Usually, it is delimited by roads, pathways, or by geographical features, such as a railway line or a river.
It consists of several land lots which are directly next to each other, and usually privately owned.
A city block is a typical form of inner-city design.
Commonly, multi-storey apartment buildings, semi-detatched houses, office blocks, or mixed-use houses make up the elements of a city block.
As all the houses touch each other, this is known as a closed form.
In the suburbs, there is more space, and the buildings don't usually touch each other.
This is known as an open form.
In Europe, cities have grown over centuries, and their layout is different from that of a planned city.
As a result, the city block in a planned city also looks different.
The design of city blocks started with the emergence of cities, in the Middle Ages.
Medieval Hanseatic cities already used city blocks.
The design can also be found in baroque inner cities, such as the Dutch Quarter in Potsdam.
It is typical of absolutist urban development and the tenement districts of major German cities that were built after 1870 during the Wilhelminian era.
In response to the housing shortage of the 1920s, housing associations built apartment blocks with large courtyards and small apartments.
At the same time, however, city planners were also looking for alternatives to the perimeter block development that was common at the time.
What they did was build blocks perpendicular to the road; they would then build footpaths as access.
This has the benefit that all apartments get the same amount of sunshine.
It has the drawback, that larger arrangements look monontonus.
This kind of city planning was widespread during the reconstruction of Germany after the Second World War, in the 1950s and 1960s.
Another benefit of this model is that neighborhoods have a better airflow.
During the Middle Ages, city blocks were often simply chaining buildings, in an unplanned way.
Even in antiquity , there were planned cities.
Examples of this are the city of Miletus, or the model of a Roman city, which both used a regular grid layout.
During the Baroque era, citty planning was common: Cities were planned with big geometric layouts, later they were divided into different land lots, before being built.
City blocks are also used for collecting statistical data on the population structure .
When visualizing 3D city models, people oftenuse  simplified solid bodies that are supposed to correspond to the real building blocks.

The Poeciliidae are a family of fish of the order Cyprinodontiformes, the tooth-carps.
Many live-bearing aquarium fish, such as the guppy, molly, platy, and swordtail are in Poeciliidae.
These fish are from the United States to north of Río de la Plata, Argentina, and Africa, including Madagascar.
Human beings took these fish to many other parts of the world and set them free there, so they have become invasive species.
Today, poeciliid fish live in all tropical and subtropical parts of planet Earth.
People have seen fish in the genuses Poecilia and Gambusia in hot spring pools as far north as Banff, Alberta in Canada.
Live-bearing
Although all fish in Poeciliidae are called "live bearers" (viviparous), some species do lay eggs with external fertilization.
All African fish in Poeciliidae lay eggs.
Almost all the American Poeciliidae bear live young (except for fish in the genus Tomeurus).
Poeciliidae has three subfamilies.
The fish in subfamily Aplocheilichthyinae live only in Africa.
Most Poeciliinae live in the Americas (except for Rhexipanchax, which lives in Africa).
