Cheetah USA promotes its Cheetah Speed System as providing significant labor savings over traditional electrical devices. The system includes screwless boxes, devices, and wallplates that install up to 50% faster. Cheetah aims to differentiate itself from commodity devices by positioning the system as providing real labor savings results. It targets contractors and distributors through programs that provide free product and track savings to demonstrate the benefits. Cheetah also develops commercial and datacom solutions to expand its product offerings.

System vs. Device
Cheetah Speed System
Devices
Forced to compete at commodity lowest price ($)
All products have basically the same features
No differentiation or loyalty
System
Clearly differentiates - no one can compete or undercut
Creates loyalty based upon labor saving results
Does not require commodity pricing to compete
Cuts out competition = IP/Patents
Guaranteed trim = Boxes pull the device and wallplates
6. Cheetah
Pricing Strategy
We WANT to be more expensive than commodity screw devices
We are a SYSTEM – Not a Device
Compare “Total Home Costs” vs. Device Prices
Compare “pennies” to “dollars”
Labor Savings ALWAYS wins
Don’t get caught up in device penny-pinching
