In your analysis, consider types of markets and aspects of the marketing mix such as distribution, products and types of promotional activities, for example:

4. Estimate the effect of the two marketing opportunities on the business, for example:

5. Use numerical analysis or statistical methods to forecast effects. For example, use the least squares method to estimate demand. Use estimated demand to calculate effect on sales and profitability.

6. Explore and develop entrepreneurial, innovative or creative options (one for each opportunity) to apply the marketing opportunities in the context of the organisation.

For example, if you identify an e-commerce opportunity, determine how to apply the e-commerce opportunity to the organisation including aspects such as media, web-design to appeal to target markets, integration with existing operations, marketing strategy and overall strategic directions.

Part B

Prepare a 15–20 minute presentation for marketing peers explaining and supporting the two marketing opportunities you have identified. Ensure you complete the following:

1. Describe two marketing opportunities and how you identified them. Describe the process you undertook to analyse your organisation to identify the marketing opportunities. Refer to current organisational marketing plan and products/services

2. Support your choice of marketing opportunities with reference to market information such as market trends and sales figures. Include relevant statistics.

3. Describe the effect of opportunities on the business, for example:

a. sales volume

b. growth
