Answer: False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trying to be all things to all people leads to LOWEST-common-denominator positioning, which is usually ineffective.

A successful business would rather be specific things to specific people, acknowledging that to be the right choice for a customer means to be the wrong one for another. The desire to make something attractive to everyone means making it not perfect for anyone: the lowest common denominator.
