1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1with no unique selling point / without (perceived) brand differentiation Explanation: This is the only way I can make this make sense in this context - les "plus produits" appears to be something which makes the customer think of one company's product more favourably than another's. You could stretch this (a rather long way!) to be a "unique selling point" in a marketing context. The references are are about the FR "plus produit" rather than of the EN translation so even if you don't like my EN suggestions, it might help in understanding the sentence. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2008-02-21 16:46:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It may help to think of the sentence written with quotes/guillemets as: [...] dans ce marché de prix sans "plus produits" Reference: http://www.apce.com/index.php?carac=80&pid=198&cid=44120 Reference: http://www.lesechos.fr/info/metiers/4682294.htm |

peer agreement (net): +1price-driven product [market] Explanation: "prix sans plus" = price is the only thing that matters; low cost is all you get. Writer has taken the phrase and inserted it, awkwardly, into "product market". |
