Situation or SWOT Analysis


“Managing the marketing function begins with a complete analysis of the company’s situation. 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 & Kotler (2011). Marketing: An Introduction, 10th Ed. Prentice Hall Publishing-Page54) The strengths to the Honey Bar would be the fact that is a snack from the Philippines and the experience of how it is broken in smaller pieces so it can be shared between everyone. Our weakness would be how long the deliveries would take because of it being from the Philippines.  “The main section of the plan presents a detailed SWOT analysis of the current marketing situation as well as potential threats and opportunities. The plan next states major objectives for the brand and outlines the specifics of a marketing strategy for achieving them.”(Armstrong & Kotler (2011). Marketing: An Introduction, 10th Ed. Prentice Hall Publishing-Page55) The opportunities that the Honey Bar would offer would jobs because we would need employees in the factories as well as distributing the item. The threats we would have would be the other companies that are trying to promote their snacks at the bar and trying to be number one just like we our.
