SUMMARY
The best way to win a price war is to reframe the category on your terms. So when every major brokerage dropped their commission fees to zero, TD Ameritrade changed the conversation from price to value, targeting experienced investors with a lifelong love of learning. By positioning TD Ameritrade as the place “Where Smart Investors Get Smarter” and offering enhanced education services, the brand expanded new accounts dramatically, by more than 249% year-on-year, the fastest growth in the brand’s history.
