Because new brands require to reach a minimum level of market exposure to affect the purchasing habits of a customer whereas brands with large market share already have enough market exposure.

Competitive advertising is used after the introductory phase of the product lifecycle during the growth phase when the product market is new and advertising provides positive points about the product to the customers.

Examples include advertisements by major washing powder brands


Comparative advertising is used at later stages of product lifecycle when there are only a few competitors. The advertising compares two or more competing brands on one or more specific attributes, be it directly or indirectly compared.
