Establishing If there is a Commercial Opportunity

To establish a commercial opportunity, you need to conduct market analysis to assess the potential demand and viability of your product or service. This typically includes the following steps:

  1. Market segmentation: Divide the market into smaller, more manageable segments based on demographics, behaviour, needs, and purchasing patterns.
  2. Industry analysis: Evaluate the industry, including size, growth rate, key players, trends, and opportunities.
  3. Competitor analysis: Assess the strengths, weaknesses, and market positioning of your competitors to understand the level of competition.
  4. Customer analysis: Determine who your target customers are, what their needs and wants are, and how they make purchasing decisions.
  5. Market sizing: Estimate the size of the potential market for your product or service and assess its growth potential.
  6. Market trends: Identify any trends or shifts in consumer behavior or market conditions that may impact your product or service.
  7. Market demand: Analyse the demand for your product or service, including any seasonal or geographic trends.

By conducting this analysis, you can better understand the market, identify key opportunities and challenges, and determine the potential success of your product or service.

Establishing Priorities within a Strategy

Establishing priorities within a marketing strategy involves evaluating the various marketing activities and determining which ones are most important and should be given the highest priority. This can be done by following these steps:

  1. Define goals and objectives: Clearly define the overall goals and objectives of the marketing strategy and ensure that all activities align with these goals.
  2. Assess resources: Consider the available budget, personnel, and time resources and determine which activities are most feasible given these constraints.
  3. Evaluate impact: Evaluate the potential impact of each marketing activity on the target audience and overall business objectives.
  4. Rank activities: Rank each marketing activity based on its potential impact, feasibility, and alignment with goals and objectives.
  5. Allocate resources: Allocate resources to the highest-priority activities and adjust the marketing plan as necessary.
  6. Monitor progress: Continuously monitor progress and adjust priorities as needed based on changing market conditions or results from ongoing marketing efforts.

By following these steps, you can establish clear priorities for your marketing strategy and allocate resources effectively to achieve the desired outcomes.

Are Competitors Really Cheaper?

To identify if competitors are offering incredibly low prices, you can follow these steps:

  1. Gather competitor information: Research your competitors and gather information on their products, pricing, and marketing strategies.
  2. Compare prices: Compare the prices of your products with those of your competitors to determine if they are significantly lower.
  3. Analyse cost structure: Assess the cost structure of your competitors and determine if they are able to offer low prices while still maintaining profitability.
  4. Monitor market trends: Keep an eye on market trends and shifts in pricing to identify any sudden changes or shifts in competitor pricing.
  5. Ask customers: Reach out to your customers and ask for their perceptions of competitor pricing, as well as their purchasing behaviors and preferences.
  6. Monitor online reviews: Monitor online reviews and forums for feedback on competitor pricing and product offerings.

By following these steps, you can get a better understanding of your competitors’ pricing strategies and determine if they are offering incredibly low prices. This information can help you make informed decisions on your own pricing strategies and marketing efforts.
