They have narrowly defined as "the right product to the right customer at the right time".
b) Their strategy is to produce the best products for their segment that cannot be replicated by other competitors. Hence, giving them a competitive advantage of product differentiation and quality.
c) The company is known for its quality products and has sales of almost $1 billion, which shows that customers like the product quality. Their priorities are to produce good quality products and service or application is up to the customer.

e) Here the order qualifiers are in the targeted segment which is parks and golf courses, who consider fertilizer and seeds essential for their premises. Hence, it is a fit for purchase for the consumers
The company also delivers very good quality products that separate it from other competitors which makes it an order winner.
