Situation or SWOT Analysis

 “The marketer should conduct a SWOT analysis, by which it evaluates the company’s overall strengths (S), weaknesses (W), opportunities (O), and threats (T).” (Armstrong, Gary, Philip Kotler. Marketing: An Introduction, 10th Edition. Pearson Learning Solutions, 01/2010. VitalSource Bookshelf Online.)

The company’s overall strengths lies in the overall taste of our product as well as our ability to sell the product. The advantage we have is that we have a creative team that with an impressive list of skills to help boost sales in our product. We are quite knowledgeable on the business aspect of our product. We also have various financial resources necessary to help produce and distribute our product.
Our weaknesses, for starters, lies in our companies geographic location is far removed from our overall target customer location. Our product isn’t well known around the world. It is our objective but we are starting from the ground up. Our creative team have impressive skills but we are limited at the very moment to the few that we have.
Our opportunities include getting into the system so we can mass produce our product for customers all over the world. Also we have the opportunity to boost our image and sales with the various interesting ideas our creative team has developed.

Threats can stem from overall competition from other companies, especially from those that mimic our product. Selling our product overseas involve shipping costs and if we cannot hit the projected amount of sales from that then we could lose worldwide sales. There could be issues with economic conditions in certain countries that could limit or hinder us.
