Topic for Discussion

“ Competition/ Competitors”

“How do you upgrade your market share”?

................

Solution:

1.Reallocate marketing budgets from branding to direct-target marketing for a higher return on investment.

2.Know your customer. Build a marketing database designed to gain insights into customer value, vulnerability and potential.

3.Get smart about your customer data. Hotel sales and marketing teams should profile their best customers on highest value and target others that look like those best customers. Hotels attracting conventions or meetings need to prioritize prospects into A-B-C lists and provide value-added incentives for A-list prospects, focusing the majority of the budget on those.

4.Leverage new customer insights on customer value, vulnerability and potential into campaigns that maximize ROI.

5.Test creative and offers to measure and redeploy what works best.

6.Track and report campaign response and conversion effectiveness.

7.Grow relationships with current customers. Use social media and electronic communications to increase loyalty and reasons to communicate with customers.

..............

Another solution:

Unless a company is increasing its turnover every year, it’s shrinking in real terms.
A manager must know their customers in terms of what they buy, why they buy, how they buy, their typical budget and where else they buy from.
The ways that can help me to increase market share of my company are:
I must try to get customers to buy more frequently by adding value to products and services.
Former customers can be won back if I find out why they left and try to resolve the problem.
Consider ways to make the business more appealing, such as a time-limited discount, but I must be realistic as it is not worth winning customers back at any cost.
Additional sales methods, such as a direct sales operation, using wholesalers or distributors, appointing an agent, setting up an e-commerce operation.
Growth by creating new products or services is even more risky, because if mishandled it can damage productivity and relationships with existing customers. However, handled well it can be a company’s biggest driver to growth and profitability.

Market penetration is one of the four growth strategies of the Product-Market Growth

Matrix defined by Ansoff. Market penetration occurs when a company enters/penetrates a market

with current products. The best way to achieve this is by gaining competitors' customers (part of

their market share). Other ways include attracting non-users of your product or convincing current

clients to use more of your product/service (by advertising etc). Ansoff developed the Product-

Market Growth Matrix to help firms recognise if there was any advantage of entering a market.

Market penetration occurs when the product and market already exists

Other growth strategies include:

Product development (existing markets, new products): McDonalds is always within the fast-food Market development (new markets, existing products): Lucozade was first marketed for sick children and then rebranded to target athletes.

Diversification (new markets, new products): Mohen A.S, Bion Products, Selectron Ltd, bk

The penetration that brands and products have can be recorded by companies such as ACNielsen and TNS who offer panel measurement services to calculate this and other consumer measures. In these cases penetration is given as a percentage of a country's households of time.

CEO has given you the target at the time of joining this organization that Market share should be 40% within a year.

“How do you upgrade your market share”?

MARKET SHARE DEFINITION JUST FOR CONCEPTS:
Market share is used by businesses to determine their competitive strength in a sector as compared to other companies in the same sector. It also allows you to accurately assess your performance from year to year

1-By improving my product quality, I will upgrade my market shares from 20% to 40% as target given to me by CEO.
