After finishing his marketing degree, Ryan inherited the family Shrimp Shack restaurant. The restaurant is a small, local institution that beach visitors have been coming to for decades. Ryan wants to make his business grow and is considering either a market penetration or market development strategy. Describe what Ryan will likely do if he pursues either strategy.

What will be an ideal response?


If Ryan pursues a market penetration strategy, he will likely expand advertising and promotion, maybe adding billboards, promoting specials, adding hours, and likely expanding the restaurant to serve more customers.

If Ryan pursues a market development strategy, he will attempt to serve new market segments. Since his product is a restaurant, market development would likely include opening additional locations in other areas, offering the same menu.
