Market Penetration (lower left quadrant). This is the safest of the four options. Here, you focus on expanding sales of your existing product in your existing market: you know the product works, and the market holds few surprises for you.
Product Development (lower right quadrant). This area is slightly more risky, because you`re introducing a new product into your existing market.
Market Development (upper left quadrant). Here, you`re putting an existing product into an entirely new market. You can do this by finding a new use for the product, or by adding new features or benefits to it.
Diversification (upper right quadrant). This is the riskiest of the four options, because you`re introducing a new, unproven product into an entirely new market that you may not fully understand.
