Marketing Strategy

Understanding your strengths and weaknesses

Your strategy must take account of how your business' strengths and weaknesses will affect your marketing.

Begin your marketing strategy document with an honest and rigorous SWOT analysis, looking at your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.

Strengths could include:

• personal and flexible customer service
• special features or benefits that your product offers
• specialist skills

Weaknesses could include:

• limited financial resources
• lack of an established reputation
• inefficient accounting systems

Opportunities could include:

• increased demand from a successful customer
• using the Internet to reach new markets
• new technologies that allow you to improve product quality

Threats could include:

• the emergence of a new competitor
• more sophisticated, attractive or cheaper versions of your product or service
• new legislation increasing your costs
• a downturn in the economy, reducing overall demand

Having compiled this list, you can then measure the potential effects of each and how they may affect your marketing strategy.

For example, if new regulations will increase the cost of competing in a market where you're already weak, you might want to look for other opportunities. On the other hand, if you have a good reputation and your key competitor is struggling, the regulations might present the opportunity to push aggressively for new customers.
