Multiplying the ways in which consumers can interact with your brand is often quite the challenge.
It usually requires companies to branch outside of their comfort zones, much like an oral hygiene business diving into the world of frozen foods.
So we at Bored Panda decided it would be interesting to take a look at the times when big names announced products they weren't really known for.
After all, he who never takes risks doesn't get to drink champagne, right?

Audi Is Dog Friendly. My Car Came Back From The Service With These Dog Toys On The Back Seat. Both Of My Labrador Retrievers Went Nuts

My grandpa owns an audi and he would go to the officials garage. The last time he went he took me and I really liked one of the toy cars. My grandpa asked about it, even willing to pay. They said no. They went to get the manager. The manager let me take a different smaller one. After years of service there my grandpa just felt embarrassed and started going to the local shop instead. I got many toy cars over the years after that.

My McDonald's Themed Deck Of Cards Has The Queen Holding The Burger, So There Wouldn’t Be A Burger King

It's easy to understand why companies decide to diversify. 65% of CEOs of large companies around the world predict that in five to seven years, their firms' main competitors would be different from their main competitors today, and 63% say that new competitors with new business models would pose a major threat to their firms' core business.
The CEOs estimate that in the next decade, 40% of the value their companies created would come from entering new markets and launching new business models. Clearly, the business landscape feels highly unstable to them, which is no surprise given that new technologies continue to upend industries and wipe out businesses at a remarkable rate.

My Dad Owns A Working 40-Year-Old Mitsubishi Sharpener And You Can Adjust The Sharpness Of A Pencil
Axel Tojo 3 years ago
Mitsubishi is one of the old Japanese mega corps called zaibatsu. They have since been broken up into smaller companies and that's why you can find anything from Mitsubishi cars and banks to nuclear power plants and, indeed, pencil sharpeners. Fun fact: Mitsubishi means "Three diamonds", so now you know where the logo comes from.

Yep. Sharper pencils make thinner, more solid lines for outlines and fine details. Duller pencils make thicker lines, and can be smudged to shade an area (like a shadow, cheekbones, or feathers).

They have those in the Netherlands too. The nurse uses it to show the kid how an MRI works, she puts toy animals in it, that have a chip in them that activates a movie on a tv screen next to it. The video shows that the toy animal all have something inside them, for example the toy chicken has a golden egg in it's belly. And afterwards the kid can play with the machine for as long as it wants. It helps kids be much less afraid. Before this, they used to explain everything at the actual MRI machine, which occupies the MRI room for a long time. Now they can explain most of it with the toy MRI, so the actual machine is occupied shorter so they can scan more people in a day.

However, experts point out that diversification is an unpredictable, high-stakes game. First of all, companies usually face the decision in an atmosphere not conducive to thoughtful deliberation.
For instance, an attractive company comes into play, and a competitor is interested in buying it. Or the board of directors strongly urge expanding into new markets. Suddenly, senior managers must gather mountains of data—including internal rate-of-return calculations, market forecasts, and competitive assessments—under huge time pressure.
Diversification as a corporate strategy goes in and out of vogue on a regular basis. Simply put, there is little conventional wisdom to guide managers as they consider a move that could greatly increase shareholder value or seriously damage it.

McDonald's franchises outside the USA essentially serve as a "cultural experience" theme restaurant; they are a way for visitors to get a taste (literally and figuratively) of American culture. Similarly, restaurants serving foreign cuisine in the USA (Italian, Japanese, Greek, etc.) will often feature signs and decorations in the corresponding language to give that same experience to American customers. Edit: There's no need to downvote Michael people; they asked a reasonable question.

Before diversifying, businessmen must think not about what their company does but about what it does better than its competitors.
Consider the history of Blue Circle Industries, a British company that is one of the world's leading cement producers.
In the 1980s, Blue Circle decided to diversify on the basis of an unclear definition of its business. It was, the company’s managers thought, in the business of making products related to home building. So Blue Circle expanded into real estate, bricks, waste management, gas stoves, bath-tubs—even lawn mowers.

Special escalators to go from floor to floor. You can buy anything there. One thing they don’t sell anywhere is deodorant. Asians don’t sweat. So if you go bring it with you.

The Elevator At My Rome Airbnb Is A Ferrari
Christof Irran 3 years ago
Well, this is not surprising. The last name "Ferrari" is the Italian equivalent of the English "Smith," and is therefore one of the most if not the single most common last name in Italy.
Beans 3 years ago
No it's not the single most common surname in Italy. The most common Italian surname is Rossi, which is more like Smith. Ferrari is popular but it's more like the 3rd or 4th most common, it's more like Jones or Brown. Moreover this is clearly the Ferrari car brand logo, so this lift was either made by them or someone licensed it for some reason. Hence it's not some rando brand with the same name.

Hand me downs flood in when you have a kid, and often new parents are too polite to decline for risk of hurting the feelings of an aging relative/neighbor/friend. People will literally drop off garbage bags filled with their child's outgrown clothes on your doorstep. We got 18 (not exaggerating) giant bags full of clothes from coworkers from just my husband's work alone. I got at least double that. Then, my sisters started giving me stuff. My mother's friends would send her home with stuff. THEN we had our baby shower, and although we asked for no clothing, we got 52 full outfits ranging from preemie to 6 months, and 20 or so that were 9-12 month. In the end, we were overwhelmed with hand me downs that we never asked for, but were too polite to say no. It doesn't help that the first person we said no thank you to got really upset and told people we were "judging" her.... So yeah, it happens, it's common, and if you know enough people it's a huge problem.

Not the same company. Rolls Royce, the aircraft engine maker, sold (back in the early 1900's) the Rolls Royce automobile marque and division, as well as the use of the Rolls Royce name and logo to the car (and aircraft) maker Haviland who built the Rolls Royce cars; and BMW built the engines for those cars. Then in the early 2000's Haviland sold the carbrand Rolls Royce to Volkswagen, and because of that BMW refused to build any more engines for Rolls Royce cars, thus effectively killing the brand. So Volkswagen sold the now dead brand to BMW for pennies, and now the automotive brand Rolls Royce belongs to BMW, and the Rolls Royce aircraft engine brand belongs to Rolls Royce.
