The long-tail theory 
{ 
By Chris Anderson
 The long tail theory was found by Chris 
Anderson. 
 In "long-tailed" distributions a high-frequency 
or high-amplitude population is followed by a 
low-frequency or low-amplitude population 
which gradually "tails off" 
Introduction
 a power law is a functional relationship 
between two quantities, where one quantity 
varies as a power of another. Wikipedia 
 For example: Many brands of soft drinks but 
only some including coke, pepsi or 7up actually 
contribute. 
The power law
 The long tail theory aims to tell us about the 
distributions of sales and goods. 
 The retailer can sell the large or main product 
such as coke or he could supply niches of the 
product to compensate for the actual price. 
The long-tail theory
The tail becomes 
bigger and longer in 
new markets 
(depicted in red). In 
other words, whereas 
traditional retailers 
have focused on the 
area to the left of the 
chart, online 
bookstores derive 
more sales from the 
area to the right. 
Wikipedia
 The long-tail theory grew when online retailers 
saw how easy and efficient it was to store 
products in warehouses rather than stores, thus 
they had more space for the storing of other 
products. 
Long-tail growth.
 The long-tail theory allows blockbusters to 
store more titles for example movie sites like 
netflix or moviorama store more movie titles 
that allow more sale of the titles which in turn 
give more income. 
Long-tail in example
 The 80-20 rule is used in business to help 
managers identify problems and determine 
which operating factors should be given more 
attention. 
The 80-20 rule
 The use of the long-tail theory and e-commerce 
has increased during the past few years. The 
more use of this means that the audience has 
started to become more aware of what they are 
up against.
