Non-price competition refers to competition among firms that choose to distinguish their product via non-price means. EX: style, delivery, location, atmosphere, promotions, etc. Non-price competition is often used by firms that wish to differentiate between virtually identical products (dry-cleaners, food products, cigarettes, etc). Although any firm can use non-price competition, it is most common among monopolistically competitive firms. The reason for this is that firms which operate in the monopolistically competitive market are price takers, that is, they simply do not have enough market power to influence or change the price of their good. Consequently, in order to distinguish themselves, they must use non-price means.
