products/services of a new business. It is a reflection of how serious a company is in meeting the competition head on, with strategies and plans to increase market share and attract customers.

The Plan enables you to recognize and take action on any trends and consumer preferences that other companies have overlooked, and to develop and expand your own select group of loyal customers now and into the future.
The Plan also shows to others that you have carefully considered how to produce a product that is innovative, unique and marketable- improving your chances of stable sales and profits - reasons for investors to financially back you.

5. Technological Forces
Technology is a major environmental force and refers to inventions or innovations from applied science or engineering research.
Some of the most dramatic technological changes occurring now are: the declining cost and size, and increasing
power, of microprocessors; the convergence of television, personal
computer, and telephone technologies; the pervasive trend toward
“connectedness” through the World Wide Web;
the emergence of biotechnology as a key component of the economy.

Responding to the Marketing EnvironmentThree basic options:
Passively accept the marketing environment and do not try to change it.
Adopt an environmental management perspective; take aggressive action to affect the publics and forces in the environment.
Use the technique of environmental scanning
Controllable and uncontrollable factors effecting marketing decision
The four controllable factors of the marketing mix: Product, Price, Promotion, Place
It can be manipulated to develop an effective marketing plan, but what can companies do about the uncontrollable factors? Successful marketers focus on these aspects of marketing, as well.
Competition. It is important for marketers to understand their competition’s marketing mix. This involves looking at what they are doing and how they go about doing it. This allows you to see what they could be doing better, and use that information within your marketing strategy. And depending on your size, you may be able to influence your competition when you make the most of your signature strengths.
Economy. The current economy must also be taken into consideration. Luxury items may not do as well in a hurting economy. You can see the opportunities available to offer the most affordable product. Your marketing strategy will need to be adjusted in order to maintain or increase your market position in challenging circumstances.
Regulations. Changes in current laws and regulation are also key factors for companies to keep into consideration. As laws and regulations change, what kinds of products are allowed, how they are produced, exporting and importing regulations, and shipping can change drastically. There could be barriers of trade, such as quotas restricting the amount of imports or tariffs that would affect the entire market and, perhaps, necessitate and complete change in strategy which to a nimble company can create new opportunities.
Technology. Having the latest technology can reduce costs, improve the quality of your product, and make marketing more effective. This can allow you to better target your customer, produce more efficiently, and create innovative products. As technology changes, your product or service may become obsolete, like the many manufacturers of buggy whips after the invention of the automobile. It is the role of marketers to monitor the marketplace and changing technology and to adapt to those changes.
Social. Marketing can be improved by paying attention to current social trends, such as concern for the environment and going “green”. Knowing what is most important to your customers will allow you to fine tune your marketing strategy to better target customers and create the kind of products and services they.

Concept of market potential & market share
Do you know how successfully your newly developed product will sell on the market?
Planning, development and introduction of new products is always associated with uncertainty.
Specific knowledge regarding potential target consumers and their probable spending on the new product provides you with more certainty concerning the market success of new product developments.
We can offer you precise and reliable information in this area after conducting a market potential analysis.
Definition and Goals Market potential describes the maximum
capacity of a defined market for a specific product / a service within a defined time period.
In this context market refers to the total of all potential consumers with a certain need or desire who are willing or able to satisfy this need or this desire through the purchase of products / services.
The sales potential can then be derived from the results of the market potential analysis.
Market potential consists of the upper limit of total demand which would theoretically be converged on at (infinite) rise of marketing expenditures of all relevant providers (see figure).
--------------------------------------------------------

Total demand(per time period)
Market potential
Market minimum
Market expenditures of the entire industry
Applications
Market potential analyses are especially used for growth or unsaturated markets for which “market size” cannot simply be estimated through the actual market volume.
Market potential analysis offers decision support for specific questions for which such as: Exploration of potential (target) markets
Determination of company locations Evaluation of ideas (screening) Designation of
sales areas
Market share
Market share is the portion or percentage of sales of a particular product or service in a given region that are controlled by a company. example, there are 100 widgets sold in
a country and company A sells 43 of them, then company A has a 43% market share
Market Share
Or – you sold widgets for a total cost of $860 and the people in the country spend a total of $2,000 on the same widgets, then the market share is $860/$2,000 or 43% The two different methods of calculating
market share won't always provide the same answer,
Market Share
Market share is used by businesses to determine their competitive strength in a sector as compared to other companies in the same sector
Method 1 – Number of Buyers
Estimate the total number of buyers in your market and determine how successful your competition is
Per month, estimate the number of people that will buy your product or service This is your percentage
Method 1 – Number of Buyers
Ex/ Organic Coffee HouseNumber of Tim Horton’s – 3040Market Share = 76% of Coffee and Baked
GoodsTim’s Sells 3 million cups a day
3,000,000/ 3,040 = 987 cups sold per day per store
987* 30 days = 29,605 per month 29,605 / .76 = 38,954 cups a month for a store
to have 100% market share in their area
Method 1 – Number of Buyers
Our Organic Coffee House should get 2% of the market, based off of the following data… (trends that support your business) 2% of total market share or 779 cups sold a day 38,954 * 0.02 = 779 cups sold a day
Method 2 – Percent of Sales
Total Market Share of top 5 competitors and average last five years of sales
Ex/ Organic Coffee House Top Five Competitors
Tim Horton’s – 76% - Sales $14 billion Starbucks – 7% - Sales $1.3 billion Timothy’s Coffees World Inc – 4% - Sales $736
million Second Cup – 2% - Sales $386 million William's – 1.5% - Sales $276 million
Method 2 – Percent of Sales
I think we can have a market share of 0.05% based on the following data … (trends…) Market share of 0.05% = $ 9.2 million

Consumer Markets & Buying Behaivor
Concept
The consumer market pertains to buyers who purchase goods and services for consumption rather than resale. However, not all consumers are alike in their tastes, preferences and buying habits due to different characteristics that can distinguish certain consumers from others.
These particular consumer characteristics include various demographic, psychographic, behaviorialistic and geographic traits.
Marketers usually define these consumer characteristics through market segmentation, the process of separating and identifying key customer groups.
Demographic Characteristics
Characteristics of consumer markets based on demographics include differences in gender, age, ethnic background, income, occupation, education, household size, religion, generation, nationality and even social class.
Most of these demographic categories are further defined by a certain range.
Psychographic Characteristics Psychographic characteristics of consumers include
interests, activities, opinions, values and attitudes. Obviously, many magazines are geared toward a
consumer's interest. For example, prenatal magazines target expectant mothers
who are interested in learning more about caring for a baby.
Additionally, consumer activities can include participation in martial arts or basket weaving.
Opinions and attitudes can be both specific or general. A company may better understand consumer opinions and
attitudes after conducting a focus group, and can use that information to tailor advertising or marketing campaigns.
Consumer values can pertain to how a group of individuals feels about certain social issues, which can be of interest to non-profit or charitable organizations.
Behavioralistic Characteristics Behavioralistic characteristics can also be garnered
through marketing research. Behavioralistic characteristics of consumer markets include
product usage rates, brand loyalty, user status or how long they have been a customer, and even benefits that consumers seek.
Companies like to know how often their consumers visit their restaurants, stores or use their products.
Company marketing departments usually try to distinguish between heavy, medium and light users, whom they can then target with advertising.
Marketers like to know which customers are brand loyalists, as those consumers usually only buy the company's brand.
Geographic Characteristics Consumer markets also have different
geographic characteristics. These geographic characteristics are often based
on market size, region, population density and even climate, according to the article "Market Segmentation" at netmba.com, a online business reference site.
A small retailer may find opportunities in a small market in which larger competitors have no interest.
Companies that sell beachwear will likely sell more products in warmer climates.
Consumers in different regions of the country also have different tastes in food and style.
Consumer markets and buyer behavior
Marketing and environmental stimuli enter the buyers consciousness.
The buyer’s characteristics and decision process lead to certain purchase decisions.
The marketer’s task is to understand what happens in the buyer’s consciousness between the arrival of outside stimuli and the buyers purchase decision.
A consumer buying behavior is influenced by cultural, social, personal and psychological factors.

Organizational Market & Buying Behavior
The crucial differences from a marketing viewpoint are: The motivations of the buyer: what the
organization will do with the product and the benefits it seeks to obtain.
The demographics of the market. The nature of the purchasing process
and the relationship between buyer and seller.
Comparison of organizational versus consumer markets
Purchase motives—Derived demand Demand for industrial goods and
services is:Derived from the demand for consumer
goods and services.Relatively inelastic.More erratic because small increases or
decreases in consumer demand can, over time, strongly affect the demand for manufacturing plants and equipment.
More cyclical.
Market demographics: Organizational buyers, when compared with buyers of consumer goods, are: Fewer in number. Larger. Geographically concentrated.
Purchasing processes and relationships –Organizational markets are characterized by the following: Use of professional buying specialists
following prescribed procedures. Closer buyer–seller relationships. Presence of multiple buying influences. More apt to buy on specifications.
Companies selling to organizational markets needs to keep one eye on: Possible changes in organizations’
buying behavior for its product. Trends in the underlying consumer
markets.Organizational marketers tend to:
Use direct selling. Be heavy users of “high-involvement”
media.
Participants in the organizational purchasing process: Users Influencers Gatekeepers Buyers Deciders
The organizational buying center The individuals in this group share
knowledge and information relevant to the purchase of a particular product or service.
Marketing implications Which individuals to target. How and when each should be
contacted. What kinds of information and appeals
each is likely to find most useful and persuasive.
Organizational Buyers – Manufacturers, Wholesalers, Retailers, Government Agencies
They buy goods and services for their own use or for resale.
Types of organizations
Industrial • Manufacturers • Mining • Construction• Farms, Timber & Fisheries• Services• Finance • Transportation • Not-for-profit
Reseller• Wholesalers• Retailers
Government• Federal• State• Local agencies
Organization Buying
Derived Demand Demand for industrial products and
services driven by demand for consumer products and services. It is based on expectations of future consumer demand.
Size of order or purchase is typically much larger than that in consumer buying.
Number of potential buyers is usually much smaller than in consumer buying.
Organizations buy products and services for one main reason: To help them achieve their objectives. The buying objective is usually to increase profits through reducing costs or increasing sales.
Organizational Buying Criteria are objectivePriceAbility to meet the quality
specifications required for the itemAbility to meet delivery schedulesTechnical capabilityWarranties and claim policiesPast performance on previous
contractsProduction facilities and capacity
