SWOT Analysis in Marketing

Successful internet marketing requires an internal and external analysis. Tools such as a SWOT analysis will determine the strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities, and threats that different organizations face. Strengths and weaknesses focus on the internal aspects of an organization, while opportunities and threats are external factors. Conducting a simple SWOT analysis will provide information that can guide the marketing campaign and increase its effectiveness.

Strength

Core competencies and competitive advantages are the strengths of a company. To put it simply, strengths are what the company does well. Strengths are internal to the organization, and they should be approached from the customers’ point of view for marketing purposes.

Market research is useful for finding strengths and other parts of a SWOT analysis. For example, low price points, excellent customer service, or quality merchandise are examples of different strengths that draw in customers. It is important to identify and build upon strengths so that you may use them effectively in your internet marketing campaigns.
