The Long Tail
• Chris Anderson explains the long tail
equation:
• The lower the cost of distribution, the more
you can economically offer without having
to predict demand;
• The more you can offer, the greater the
chance that you will be able to tap latent
demand for minority tastes; and
• Aggregate enough minority taste, and you
may find a new market.

What is Customerization?
Customerization combines operationally
driven mass customization with customized
