SWOT Analysis for exporting Indian brands to Nigeria
Strengths • • • • Good quality International sounding names Low production costs Based in a rapidly developing and financially stable country

Weaknesses
• Very less experience of exporting • Regulations in alcohol content • Absence of presently established distribution network • Unknown brands globally

Threats

Objectives
• Establish and rapidly improve levels of retail distribution • Achieve a market share of at least 5% in the first 18 months • Reduce marketing expenditures sufficiently to achieve higher profits • Identify opportunities for profit making complimentary products • To break even within 4 years

Strategies
• Target market will mainly be the middle to upper middle class • It will be positioned as a very high quality product with a good taste • Price: It should be affordable but not very cheap • Place: It should be launched only in the big cities of Lagos, Ibadan, Kano, Pot Harcourt, Benin city, Zaria, Maiduguri, Jos, Oyo, Aba, Abuja, Bida, Okpoko, Bauchi, Mubi, Ondo and Shagamu

Strategies continued….
• Distribution Outlets: use of sales agents as well as supermarkets. Will bring more visibility • Sales force will be paid more than the competition with a high percentage in sales commission • Advertisements mainly in the print media which is popular among the general public • Market Research to go on continuously in order to capture latest trends • Have a contingency plan in case there is a problem outside one’s control like a worldwide economic recession or the entry of an unexpected competitor
