Ansoff growth matrix
Ansoff growth matrix is a useful marketing tool that helps businesses deceide their product range and market growth strategy and it determines whether or not the business sells new or existing products to new or existing customers. The four main growth strategies are: market penetration is where the company increases its sales of existing products or services such as current accounts, loans etc to more customers in the market. market development is where the company grows in its total market by selling its existing products and services to new targeted customers. product development is where the company creates a product with new or different features or functions that offers new or additional benefits to existing customers. diversification is where the company sells a totally new product or service to new customers in other parts of the world.
