EAS definitely has a competitive advantage over its competitors when it comes to product mix. Experimental and Applied Science (EAS) offers three product lines with eight different tiers. They also offer customized training programs that include nutritional, supplemental and physical training programs tailored to specific needs. This is based on product differentiation which caters to the marketing target based on market research and targeted marketing.
EAS has been the leader in quality products of the nutrition and supplement business arena since 1996. This is due to their concentration on quality and technology in pursuit of the highest performing product in the supplement market. A product can best be described by the following:
