Depends what product. A toaster has very similar functionality to its competitors, so it needs to attract buyers with style and design elements.

When functionality is a given like it is for a kitchen toaster, we can argue the presentation and style is more important.



Most toasters are shit so there is definitely room to compete on functionality - it's just harder to convey that to buyers than a pretty design.
