1. Market Penetration
 Focus on selling your existing products or services in your existing/home market(s)
 Goal is to gain a higher market share and achieve maximum return in the home market
2. Market Development
 Selling your existing products into new markets
 Products may need to be attuned based on specific customer needs
3. Product Development
 Creating new products for the existing customer base
 This is done via R&D, by assessing customer needs and brand extension
4. Diversification Strategy
 Entering a new market with a totally new product.
 There are 3 diversification strategies:
a. Concentric Diversification
 A company acquires or develops new products or services
 Products/services are closely related to the core business
b. Horizontal Diversification
 New products or services that are (unrelated) technologically or commercially but
that may appeal to current customers
 Increases the firm's dependence on certain market segments
c. Conglomerate diversification

, MAREX Week 3

 Adding new products/services that are significantly different from the
organization's present products/services
 Expansion to unrelated areas of current business
Growth Opportunities
1. Backward vertical integration
 A company integrates its operations with supply side of the business
 The company gains control over the raw material suppliers by integrating them with their
ongoing business
2. Forward vertical integration
 Business activities are expanded to include control of the direct distribution/supply of a
company's products
 Company moves down the supply chain
 e.g. farmer sells his crops at a local grocery store rather than to a distribution center that
controls grocery store placement
3. Horizontal integration
 Acquisition/expansion of a business at the same level of the value chain

3.2/3.3 Growth Strategies & Segmentation, Target Groups & Positioning

Generally 3 types of marketing:
1. Mass marketing
 Segment marketing (lots of competition)
 e.g. products in the supermarket
2. Niche Marketing
 Sub-segment marketing (little competition)
 e.g. special audio installation SONOS
3. Micro Marketing
 Tailor made marketing (no competition)
 e.g. architect designs a house for a customer
