Situation or SWOT Analysis


Strengths – Our vodka’s flavors are uncommon, heightened customer service, and a tested production process for a quality product.
Weaknesses – No brand awareness as of yet and the cost of manufacturing.
Opportunities – Vodka is very popular and I’ll try to partner with a well-known restaurant to promote our vodka.
Threats - Vodka is a saturated market and people may think my vodka is priced too high.
“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)” (Pg. 54)
Conducting a SWOT analysis will give me an overview look at what things we could be doing better and what things to look out for when trying to get consumers to buy our product over a different type of vodka. It also shows what things we are doing right and how to continue that top-notch service to every consumer.
“The company should analyze its markets and marketing environment to find attractive opportunities and identify environmental threats. It should analyze company strengths and weaknesses as well as current and possible marketing actions to determine which opportunities it can best pursue.”
A SWOT analysis is crucial to make clear what the business is already doing great at and what it needs to work on. A SWOT analysis can change as a business grows and new obstacles come into light.
