Market Penetration: Presented By: Sharan Raj M Srishti Agarwal Sourish Bhattacharya Mukesh

Market penetration is a growth strategy that involves increasing sales of existing products within current markets. It focuses on more aggressively marketing products to existing customers. The degree to which a product is purchased in a given market is its market penetration. Some key tactics for market penetration include penetration pricing by initially setting low prices, expanding distribution channels, tailoring marketing messages, and packaging products for specific target markets. The main advantages are quickly achieving high penetration rates and creating brand loyalty, while disadvantages can include difficulty raising prices later.

MARKET PENETRATION

1. Marketing strategy used by a manufacturer


to increase the sales of a product within an
existing market through the employment of
more aggressive marketing tactics.
2. Degree to which a particular product is
purchased in a particular market.
MARKET PENETRATION
 Market penetration is one of the four growth
strategies of the Product-Market Growth
Matrix defined by Ansoff.
 Market penetration occurs when the product
and market already exists .
PENETRATION PRICING
 Penetration pricing is the pricing technique of
setting a relatively low initial entry price, often
lower than the eventual market price, to attract
new customers.
ADVANTAGES
 This can achieve high market penetration
rates quickly.
 It can create goodwill among the early
adopters segment.
 It creates cost control and cost reduction
pressures from the start, leading to greater
efficiency.
 It discourages the entry of competitors. Low
prices act as a barrier to entry.
DISADVANTAGES
 The main disadvantage with penetration pricing
is that it establishes long term price
expectations for the product, and image
preconceptions for the brand and company. This
makes it difficult to eventually raise prices.
 Some commentators claim that penetration
pricing attracts only the switchers (bargain
hunters), and that they will switch away as soon
as the price rises.
 Another potential disadvantage is that the low
profit margins may not be sustainable long
enough for the strategy to be effective.
OTHER MODELS OF
PENETRATION
 Bait and hook model where a starter product
is sold at a very low price but requires more
expensive replacements (such as refills)
which are sold at a higher price.
 Taken to the extreme, penetration pricing
becomes predatory pricing, when a firm
initially sells a product or service at
unsustainably low prices to eliminate
competition and establish a monopoly .
