A market opportunity is an area
of buyer need and interest that a
company has a high probability
of profitably satisfying.
There are three main sources of
market opportunities.
1.
2.
3.
The first is to offer something
that is in short supply.
The second is to supply an
existing product or service in a
new or differentiated way
The third is to offer a unique
and innovative product or
service

An environmental
threat is a challenge
posed by an
unfavorable trend or
development that, in
the absence of
defensive marketing
action, would lead to
lower sales or profit.
The failure to analyze
the external environment
¨
¨
¨
Each business needs to evaluate
its internal strengths and
weaknesses.
Clearly, the business doesn’t have
to correct all its weaknesses, nor
should it gloat about all its
strengths.
The big question is whether it
should limit itself to those
opportunities for which it
possesses the required strengths
or consider those that might
require it to find or develop new
strengths.
¨
Most business units pursue a mix of objectives, including
profitability, sales growth, and market share
improvement. Objectives should meet four criteria:
They must be arranged hierarchically, from most to least
important.
¤ Objectives should be quantitative whenever possible.
¤ Goals should be realistic.
¤ Objectives must be consistent. It s not possible to maximize
sales and profits simultaneously.
¤ In short; goals should be SMART

Marketing strategies serve
as the fundamental
underpinning of marketing
plans designed to fill
market needs and reach
marketing.
Porter generic strategies
describe the different
overall business strategies
¨
¨
Cost Leadership is a strategy,
by which a business offers an
average product at a low cost
to the broadest possible
market. Economies of scale
result in cost savings, partially
passed to consumers.
Cost Focus is a strategy, by
which a business offers an
average product at a low cost
to a specific customer group.
¨
Product Differentiation is a strategy
that focuses on offering a unique
product to the broadest possible
market. The product offering
necessitates continuous innovation in
light of the highly competitive market
forces.
¨
Differentiation Focus is a strategy that
focuses on offering a unique product to
a specific customer group. The customer
relationship largely depends on the
uniqueness of the product and the way
the customer is being served.
