It is the first stage of planning and helps marketers to focus on key issues. SWOT stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Strengths and weaknesses are internal factors. Opportunities and threats are external factors.  \nStrengths and weaknesses are internal factors. For example:  \nA strength could be:  \n• your specialist marketing expertise.  \n• a new, innovative product or service  \n• location of your business  \n• quality processes and procedures  \n• any other aspect of your business that adds value to your product or service.  \nA weakness could be:  \n• lack of marketing expertise  \n• undifferentiated products or services ([i.e. in](i.e. in) relation to your competitors)  \n• location of your business  \n• poor quality goods or services  \n• damaged reputation  \nOpportunities and threats are external factors. For example:  \nAn opportunity could be:  \n• a developing market such as the Internet.  \n• mergers, joint ventures or strategic alliances  \n• moving into new market segments that offer improved profits  \n• a new international market  \n• a market vacated by an ineffective competitor  \nA threat could be:  \n• a new competitor in your home market  \n• price wars with competitors  \n• a competitor has a new, innovative product or service  \n• competitors have superior access to channels of distribution  \n• taxation is introduced on your product or service  \nA word of caution, SWOT analysis can be very subjective. Do not rely on it too much. Two people rarely come-up with the same final version of SWOT. TOWS analysis is extremely similar. It simply looks at the negative factors first in order to turn them into positive factors. So use it as guide and not a prescription.  \nSimple rules for successful SWOT analysis  \n• be realistic about the strengths and weaknesses of your organization  \n• analysis should distinguish between where your organization is today, and where it could be in the future  \n• be specific. Avoid grey areas.  \n• always analyse in relation to your competition i.e. better than or worse than your competition  \n• keep your SWOT short and simple. Avoid complexity and over analysis  \n• SWOT is subjective.  \nSWOT Analysis-Exercise.  \nHighly Brill Leisure Center  \nHighly Brill Leisure Center has hired you to help them with their marketing decision making.
