In 1996, Jim Wagner was hired as chief financial officer and was able to successfully achieve steady profitability for the company. One year later, in 1997, in an attempt to source its strategic investments, Natureview organized an equity infusion from a venture capital firm; however, the venture capital now needs to cash out of its investment in Natureview and management will therefore need to find another investor or position itself for acquisition. In order to attain the maximum potential valuation, the company must make strategic marketing choices in an attempt to increase revenues to $20 million before the end of year 2001. And to meet this lofty goal, Natureview can potentially enter a new market and transition from the natural food channel into the supermarket channel, a move that would signify a dramatic departure from the company’s present cha...
protect the environment through initiatives, grants, the ways in which their products are manufactured, and proper waste disposal. In the field of marketing, it is known that “Too many choices means no choice at all”, which signifies that if customers have too many options to choose from, they tend to get confused and overwhelmed, which often leads to them not making a purchase (Barry, 2003). However, having very limited options tends to bore and discourage customers from purchasing the product as well. Patagonia, overall, doesn’t have a large product mix.
We can also find this product has become a very important element in terms of influencing people, we can see how customers buying it as a gift for friends and family. People nowadays are more considering the usage and healthy materials which is worth spending money for, people are more focused and cautious in choosing a product rather than just judging by the pretty surface packaging which does no good at all.

Many steps are taken while marketing a product or company, such defining a target market and researching the best approach to gain customers (Solomon, Marshall, & Stuart, 2012). Due to market fragmentation, many markets can be divided into small subgroups allowing for a better marketing approach. As seen in the marketing approach of the product Cheerios, understanding smaller target groups can create specialized campaigns to reach consumers, which increases brand loyalty and sales. In 2014, Mark Addicks, General Mills Chief Marketing Officer, stated with the new technology age his company has began a new approach focusing on new target markets such as expectant moms, which require folic acid that can be found in Cheerios (Schultz, 2014).

The best way to describe a product like FUV, would be to start at the origins of its innovative discovery. FUV is a mobile application developed with three things in mind: time management, convenience, and fridge-pantry efficiency. Our company’s vision is to avoid adding stress to our daily lives by suggesting recipes for homemade meals people can prepare using ingredients that they already have. This helps to eliminate food waste while also saving users money. The main concept behind FUV is combing food and convenience in a way that users have not yet experienced. Initially, potential brand names included: foovement (food/movement), foodvenience (food/convenience). Each worked well for the product, but the shortened “FUV” reinforced the idea of effortlessness that the app provides. Market research based on Google Play and Amazon Kindle suggest that shortening the name makes for a more attractive app (Google Play, 2016) (Amazon, 2016).
