Red Ocean Strategy, which is a tried and tested business model, and implement it in a Blue Ocean, which stands for an untapped market or an untapped sector. This kind of growth is also referred to as horizontal expansion.

However, this does not imply that you should completely cease considering the possibility of finding blue oceans.

There are companies who made their beginnings with a Blue Ocean concept, saw a rapid increase in the number of competitors, but continued to concentrate on enhancing their product or service in order to maintain their company growth.

In other words,organizations with mature goods may assure long-term survival and sustainability by developing additional distribution channels for items beyond their primary business. These companies compete with direct rivals in red seas for core goods, but lack flexibility to concentrate on new and innovative products and services.

Organizations using Purple Ocean strategies prioritize creating new product lines in current markets, apart from their main markets, utilizing various methodologies.

Example Of Purple Ocean Strategy

German automotive manufacturer Daimler joined the vehicle-sharing industry in 2009 with the car2go urban mobility app, a new business pillar distinct from its main business.

Daimler does neither have a blue ocean opportunity since it has other rivals in this new market, nor a red ocean scenario because of its know-how and resources, which provide it an edge over its immediate competitors.
