Honey bees are much more famous for producing honey. However, most people do not know that “the benefits of honey go beyond its great taste” (“Health Benefits of Honey”).

This first strategy calls for the creation of more sales without changing the original product, which can achieved through the four P’s of marketing. The next strategy, market development, allows the supplier to find new markets for their current products by using demographic markets to see where the greatest revenue will be based on the target group you are selling to (seniors, teens, etc.).
