How do firms penetrate an existing market?
Cadburys have to improve their levels of market penetration and also
make more sales customers.
Cadburys have improved their penetration which helps them to improve
market share. It can increase in there market share which can create
significant sales. Market penetration suggests a further penetration
of existing markets with existing products. This will involve a
strategy of increasing market share within existing segments and
markets.
· Market development is a strategy requires the producer to develop
raw market segments for products.
· Product development is the process of researching market needs,
creating products to meet the identified needs.
· Diversification means going into new market with entirely new
products.
· Market penetration is increasing the % of sales in present markets
by taking sales from competitors.
To improve their market penetration there are six district stages in
the development process for new products are;
- Ideas
All Cadbury products start from ideas. These ideas may come from the
following sources:
Research and Development
-This is where product development and market research working
together.
Mindstorming
-This is where it involves few people developing ideas from words and
concepts.
Suggestion box
- Here Cadburys is working close to the customer and the sales forces
understand their needs and requirements.
Forced relationships
-At times one or more products can be joined together to form new
product concepts.
Competitors
- Monitoring the actions of competitors may provide a rich source of
new ideas.
Screening of ideas
-Once Cadburys ideas have been generated. It is important to screen
for the ideas likely to be successful. Considerations may include how
well the product fits in with others in the product range the unique
element of any idea that makes it competitive. They are likely to
demand for the product and whether or not it could be manufactured
economically.
The two main errors Cadbury needs to avoid when screening ideas are;
· They must not reject new ideas
· They must not develop poor ideas or Cadbury will loose money

Stars
These are products with a high market share like Cadburys in a rapidly
growing industry. Unless Cadburys chocolate bar has not achieved this
position through heavy discounting, it should be generating high
profits. For Cadbury to remain a star in a competitive environment its
chocolate bean will continue to need heavy marketing expenditure.
Cash cow
Cash cows have a high market share in a slow growing, but mature
market. Cadbury could fall into this because there competitors do have
higher cost slightly. But Cadbury benefits from high economic of
scale. It can generate high profits which could be used to finance
‘problem children/question marks’.
Question Marks and problem children
This product has a low market share in a rapidly growing market. The
business has to decide whether to with draw the product or to support
it with heavy marketing, which could be difficult if it is not
generating funds elsewhere.
Dog

or no growth.

We also focus on product life-cycle of the business goods. The stages the product undergoes from manufacturing packaging until the final stage where it focuses on time, cost and revenue generated. In the initial stage of the product, promotion is done to create awareness of the product. In this juncture profits are not a big concern of the company.
The most intense damage occurring further south last year, Queensland scientists say. Over 1,500km had been bleached. The main cause is the coral cannot keep with the heat. Global warming is a huge problem. Other threats to the Great Barrier Reef include agriculture, more specifically, ports accommodating coal, natural gas and oil shale extraction plants. Also, agricultural irrigation, which carries pollutants into waterways and reef lagoons that cause water quality to decline as well as by nearby port infrastructure development. Another thing with ports is that pieces of sediment go into the water possibly causing quite toxic effects. Turtles in Gladstone Harbour have high levels of metals, which is a contributing to a worrying number of fatalities of turtles in the area.
The four stages of the technology life cycle are Innovation Stage, Syndication Stage, Diffusion Stage, and Substitution Stage.

Plath spent most of her childhood by the sea, until her father abruptly died in 1940 from diabetes mellitus (Sylvia). The Plath family would eventually move to Wellesley, Massachusetts, so her mother could get a job at Boston College. Plath won numerous awards and had stories published in her youth, before she even got to college. Her first poem entitled On Hot Summer Nights, which she won an award for, was published in the Boston Herald when she was eight years old (Debata). Plath won a scholarship to Smith College in Massachusetts, where she
Climate change is arguably one of the most discussed issues in climatic conferences and political debates across the world. Establishment of the fact that global warming is the leading cause of climate change continues to persuade people to find out ways of reducing or mitigating the effects it has on the earth. Global warming occurs naturally, but artificial causes, which are mainly human activities, contribute to this effect. The release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide from human activates has led to a 0.60C rise in global temperatures (Walther et al., 2002). This implies that different life forms are affected in one way or the other given the effect of temperature on life. Different species of flora and fauna have and continue to suffer the effect of climatic changes.
The Great Barrier Reef is a site of remarkable aquatic life and is located in the Coral Sea off the coast of Queensland, Australia. Made up of nearly 2,900 individual reefs, 600 continental islands and 300 coral cays, it’s the world’s largest single structure comprised of living organisms. If the Great Barrier Reef is looked at primarily by species diversity, then it can be classified as one of the most diverse habitats on the entire planet. Close to 9,000 species of marine life live in the GBR and have existed there for millions of years. (Bellwood, 2016) This can be detrimental to the entire ecosystem if the Great Barrier Reef reaches it tipping point due to the negative impact that human activity has on it. Many organisms and humans depend
Based on the business opportunities provided, I decided to introduce the product of keyless locks for bicycles to the country of Portugal. This product sensors movement, offers community alarm service, GPS tracking, and are smartphone controlled. The reason this product would be successful in the emerging markets in Portugal is because even with the economic, financial, political, and cultural challenges, this product will be introduced based on need and therefore it offers more value to the customer. Biking and technology is already integrated in the culture and everyday life of the Portuguese people, and this new product will be improving those tasks to increase effectiveness and productivity in their lives.

emerging or new market. It can originate from new technology or new market opportunities (Eliashberg, J., Lilien, G. L., & Rao, V. R. 1997). Literature defines product development as exploiting an untapped market opportunity and turning it into a value product for customer satisfaction. Development and introduction of a new product requires extensive research on understanding customer needs, market structure, emerging trends and analysing the internal & external competitive market environments. To evaluate customer satisfaction previous researches provide strong relationship between customer satisfaction and product quality, product features and value for money. ***
The product life cycle is an important concept in marketing. It describes the stages a product goes through from when it was first thought of until it finally is removed from the market. Not all products reach this final stage. Some continue to grow and others rise and fall.
A Product Life Cycle can vary due to various marketplace product or service offerings. Maturity length of time may vary because the end consumer was not prepared to accept the new offerings. Faster maturity breakthroughs can be a direct result of certain production service breakthroughs that usually get accepted quite quickly. Decline of a product or service can be the result of a customer interest and then disinterest. When a product or service does not extend its growth, it can be because the product or service has lost its usefulness. In conclusion, The Product Life Cycle can be used as a marketers planning tool to create portfolio planning, strategy formations, as well as future forecasting. One must never to marketplace, and competition. (Fortenberry, J. L.,
