Task: This assignment requires you to design, produce and present a poster on international market analysis. You are required to choose a British tea brand from the following choices (Clipper, Fortnum & Mason, Typhoo, or Yorkshire Tea) and select one Middle Eastern market for potential international expansion.
For this assignment, you are required to critically analyse and utilise international marketing insights and structure your poster as follows:
• Analyse the market structure, including size, key players, distribution systems, regulations, and ease of entry for your selected British tea brand.
• Identify and justify market segmentation, outlining the most relevant consumer segments based on cultural, demographic, or behavioural characteristics.
• Map and evaluate competitor positioning, showing how local and global tea brands are positioned and identifying gaps or opportunities.
• Explore buyer behaviour patterns, considering local tastes, consumption habits, cultural influences, and purchasing behaviours.
• You must ensure that any material used has appropriate citations/references using APA 7th Edition to show the source of the information.
Be creative with your posters to capture the readers' or audience’s attention, e.g., use of images, tables, charts & figures (these will also need to be labelled, cited, and incorporated into your discussions) supported by relevant secondary data, and demonstrate clear strategic thinking in the context of international marketing.
