               2: Analyse the Market

               Chase carried out extensive market research which to all

               3. Analyse the Competition

               The general market for vodka and gin crisps was increasing

               so Chase pursued the premier product segment as this was

               neglected by the main industry players.

               Chase’s strategy was partly based on entering foreign

               markets.




               4: Research distribution

               Chase sought high end independent outlets. After his

               experiences with some supermarkets whilst at Tyrrells

               Chips, he tried to tightly control the supply chain. He

               recognised the value of exports and the international
               market and rapidly moved to exploit these.
