Joshua Mellet - Business

Ms Moore writes;

Joshua has followed our ‘recipe for success’ when answering an ‘analyse’ question. He has worked hard to include context in his answer and he has highlighted this in green to support him in checking that he has achieved this throughout his response. Joshua has read the question carefully and ensured that his points relate directly to the marketing mix. Well done, Josh!

Analyse the impact on GoPro’s marketing mix of cheaper competitors entering the market (6).

One potential impact is that they have to produce a new action camera to differentiate their products from others in their market, such as Sony and to keep their position as leader of this market. However because they need to produce this new camera, they will need to undergo market research to see what customers want with them when they do these extreme sports. Because they are undergoing this research, their costs will increase, and if revenue stays the same, their profit for a time will decrease.

Another potential impact is that they may have to increase their promotion so that the audience is aware why they charge these premium prices and why they should purchase one when they next go skiing or bungee jumping. Because they now have a more luxurious advertisement, this could draw in more customers, as it will show where they stand out and why their competitors are selling at cheaper prices. Because they have drawn in more people interested in extreme sports, their revenue could increase, due to the increase in their camera sales.

Ellis Harrison-Scott - Design Technology

Mia Appleby - Business

Mia Appleby, Year 10 in her response to this examination question, has demonstrated excellent business understanding and applied this to the GoPro business context beautifully.

Analyse the impact on GoPro’s marketing mix of cheaper competitors entering the market (6).

As cheaper competitors are entering the market Go Pro may have to further differentiate their cameras to make sure they have a USP and to maintain market leader position. However, this will increase the business’ costs because it will take research and development and as a result the business may have to increase their prices on gadgets to maintain profits. In addition if GoPro have to increase their prices then photographers may go to their cheaper competitors such as Xaomi.

Another impact on GoPro could be they may have to lower their prices to remain competitive over competitors such as Canon. Consequently, GoPro may attract to a new videographers and as a result their revenue may increase due to the higher sales on electronic equipment however, this will depend on the price sensitivity.
