Nunavut
Forecast: Demand > Supply until at least 2015 Implication: Now is the time to capitalize and realize gains (driving option) Demand Risk: Iron Ore tied to economy Explanation: Iron Ore is tied highly to steel which is tied highly to construction which is tied highly to economy. Economy is in bad place. If this continues…. Demand Risk: ArcelorMittal is world’s biggest steel producer Explanation: Bidding war may put us on their bad side. However, they only represent 10% which leaves large portion… Political Risk: China is world’s biggest importer of iron ore Explanation: At 60%, China’s demand for iron ore greatly impact the demand and price. China has all the power here. What if trade is blocked between Canada and China…tariffs increased? What if China’s economic progress slows?

Product: year round, all weather, high utility and functionality Price: $110 000 Place: Canadian dealership networks Promotion: campaign via different mediums- ALSO talk about the cool car race thingy For wealthy middle-aged men, Porsche is a luxury sports car that provides high year-round performance and status, while providing high customer care and service.
We ’re “Piggybacking” the success of our winter promotions off of the launch of this promotion which is a huge risk. Secondly if we fail to shift our customer perception we could risk diluting the brand. And the last major risk we considered is if there is less reception to converting their porsches to winter equipment than initially expected then we cannot cover the marketing costs inccured. So our suggested contingency plan is to go to Porsche headquarters and ask for a budget increase so we can approach a different strategy in marketing. If these strategies don ’t work then we suggest to revert to the traditional image and build off of this to build more market share. As for expansion into new markets currently unexplored we mean to suggest a new marketing campaign for Quebec, considering that we don ’t have an individual marketing strategy for the french culture.
