MARKET DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
Dell is assembling a services portfolio that now includes e-mail disaster recovery,
spam/virus filtering and archiving via its Message One acquisition.
MARKET PENETRATION OBJECTIVES
• New geographical markets; for example exporting the product to a new country.
Companies can develop market on geographical such as city, country, region, state
etc and demographical such as age, sex, gender, class etc.
Example: Google developed a new browser Chrome for the existing Internet user.
McDonalds is always within the fast-food industry, but frequently markets new
burgers.
DIVERSIFICATION:
A business markets new products in new markets.
This is an inherently more risk strategy because the business is moving into markets
For a business to adopt a diversification strategy, therefore, it must have a clear idea
about what it expects to gain from the strategy and an honest assessment of the risks.
Adopted by the company if the current market is saturated due to which revenues and
profits are lower.
Examples
