Rather than building a
new factory as this can
be time consuming and
will slow down growth
GAINING NEW
CUSTOMERS
A business might gain
more customers in a
number of ways
Reducing the prices of its
products or service
Opening
shops in new
places
Better Marketing
DEVELOPING
NEW PRODUCTS
New products and services that
appeal to a wider range of customers
E.g. Apple has grown from first
producing computers to introducing
iPod, iPad, iPhone and the Apple watch
INCREASING
MARKET SHARE
This means that the business
has a greater percentage
share of the market.
E.g. if 1000 tables were sold in a country,
and a business sold 100 of those tables, it
would have 10 per cent share of the
market. If the total number of tables sold
rose from 1000 to 2000, the business d
have to sell more than 200 tables (10 per
cent of 2000) if it were to increase its
market share.
A business might take over a
competitor to help achieve
higher market share
