Introduction
Vivid Image
Background History
E-Commerce Business
While expanding to a new operation, it is important to have a vivid image of the state that one wants to dwell in. The Company one chooses to work with must be willing and able to cooperate in order to gain numerous returns. Every firm has a background history that one may need to carry out a thorough check up. In this presentation I have chosen to work with an e-commerce business that is popularly known all over the universe for its online operations.

Brief Description Of The Product
Corporate Office
Vancouver
Canada
Expenses
The product being introduced in this case is a corporate office that will be situated in Canada. In Vancouver, there are chances to grow a brand merged with Amazon (Cloud, 2011). The biggest advantage is that there is a large target market whereby products can never lack purchasers. Availability of workforce is also a great achievement. In order to land a great deal much investment will be outsourced. The biggest challenge will be the expenses that may be needed to cover for the new structure and also for marketing.

Our intended customers are versatile. The new office is meant to ensure that every client receives their products in a good state. In order to enter the market by full force, we plan on creating large banners and making offers for our new customers. This is a good way of making these news spread all over the area. This particular segment has the ability of doubling our revenue due to the kind government policies hence we shall ensure that all rules are followed to the latter. In order to penetrate we shall observe our competitors and know the ways of having a competitive advantage over them.

Strategies For Entering Market
Target Market
New Plan
It is part of Amazon’s comprehensive market to tap in to their target market. This involves selling services and products in the new country. The new segment of our market is not aware of the plan and this should make them thrilled about the new plan. It is apparent that we shall penetrate through this new location by the use of ads and social media marketing. The strategy is to make people aware about our new products and services. It is our hope that with time we shall manage to tap this market within the shortest time possible.

The offering we are planning to provide is expected to gain high returns. Amazon can be a great platform in ensuring that everything develops and grows as planned. Despite the weaknesses and challenges that will be faced in Canada, the team is determined to ensure that the business grows in to greater heights. Corporate business can be a major success if incorporated with online stalls. This is the idea that we are trying to implement in this case.
