Intensive Strategies
1. Market Penetration
 Nike features famous athletes in print and television ads designed to take market share
within the athletic shoe business from Adidas and other rivals.
 McDonald’s drive-thru and home delivery services, expansion of distribution channels,
clever pricing strategy, product modifications and expansion of its menu, and franchising
strategy.
 Dunkin’ Donuts has a modern décor, more packaged take-out options, pick-up lines,
drive-thru facilitates, a partnership with Grubhub, and mobile ordering.
2. Market Development
 Unilever initially went into business selling soap. After realizing that the ingredients for
making soap shared similarities with those needed for making margarine, they
diversified and expanded into a new market with a new product. Over time, Unilever
created and acquired new brands in the soap, cosmetics, butter, and ice cream
industries, essentially diversifying its product line and market.
 Philadelphia-based Tasty Baking Company has sold its Tastykake snack cakes since 1914
within Pennsylvania and adjoining states. Now it is extensively distributing Tastykake’s
products within the southeastern United States. Displaced Pennsylvania in the south
rejoiced.
 Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s are two companies that started as separate restaurants — Carl’s
Jr. on the west coast and Hardee’s on the east coast — they merged in the late 1990s to
become one company under two names. From a high-level perspective, this might seem
like a branding and marketing nightmare, but within their respective geographic
markets, the different names have been successful. Carl’s Jr. took the opportunity to
acquire Hardee’s, thus expanding the burger chain across the country, becoming one of
the largest burger chains in the United States.
3. Product Development
 McDonald’s is always within the fast-food industry, but frequently markets new burgers.
 Coca-Cola is also developed new products for its existing market. Diet Coke, Vanilla
Coke, and Ginger Coke are examples of new products created by Coca-Cola to leverage
the Coke brand.
 Google developed a new browser Chrome for the existing Internet user.

company on the planet.

 In 1997, Sara Lee embarked on a major restructuring designed to boost both profits,
which had been growing by just 6 percent a year since 1992. Sara Lee aimed to shift

facilities over the next two years.
