based on an analysis of internal strengths ad weaknesses as well as
a market place opportunities and threats. The four market strategy
that uses to identify alternate market opportunities is market
penetration, market development, product development, and
diversification.
- Market penetration: It refers to a strategy of an increasing
share of current markets with the current product range. This
strategy includes strategic capabilities builds or established,
increased power leads to greater market share and with buyers and
sellers.
- market development: Introducing present products or services
into new geographic areas eg, market expansion in new
continents.
- product development: It involves either improving an existing
product or its presentation, or developing a new product to target
a particular market segment. consistent product is a necessity for
companies striving to keep up with the changes and trends in the
marketplace to ensure their future profitability and success.
- Diversification: It is an act of existing entity branching out

it.

achieve its market strategy and identify a market opportunity. for

offerings more attractive to the target customers.
