The company described its target market as “intelligent, educated, inquisitive individuals” and they reach this customer by opening store among well-educated residents (Ager & Roberto, 2014). Their customers are too loyal towards their brand image so they keep coming back. Instead of targeting all customers, they need to target new customers in order to grow their business and to keep being a leader in the retail industry in the US. And also, their employee are valuable assets of the company, who led them towards the further growth of the company, therefore they are treated fairly and trained to provide the nice and friendly service to Trader Joe’s customers.

If I were a proud owner of a new bakery shop, it would be called Eva’s Pastries. My bakery would be opened within a school district on Staten Island. The location of my bakery would play an important factor to my target market; the reason why I chose to open it within a school district is to attract the age range of the students attending the schools, as well as the parents of the students. The convenience of my bakery being opened within the school’s range is to provide the students a place near their school to grab some quick food to eat nearby for breakfast or a snack. In addition, my bakery would have different varieties of bread and cakes for the students to grab to go and also dine in for individuals to sit in to enjoy their pastries.

This means that it is possible to borrow on this basis to meet its current obligation. After calculating the net present value, which gave a positive NPV of £38450million, I move that we go ahead with the introduction of a new product. In traducing a new product is a sign of innovation and growth on the part of the competitors. In order for a new product to be introduced to the market, Kellogg’s will have to spend money on the actual product, the marketing side of
