Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of a market penetration strategy: it focuses on increasing sales of existing products within the current market.
Identify the target group for market penetration, which is typically the existing customers who already purchase the product or service.
Recognize that unrelated industries, suppliers, distributors, and new geographic markets are not the primary focus of market penetration; these relate more to diversification, vertical integration, or market development strategies.
Conclude that the goal of market penetration is to increase usage or purchase frequency among existing customers rather than seeking new customers or markets.
Therefore, the group targeted by a market penetration strategy is the existing customers.
