Marketing strategies for commercializing the small diameter Douglas-fir

University of British Columbia. Sustainability Office

When considering the resources, we can find that the forestry is the most prominent mutual benefit between Canada and China. Canada, especially B.C., is abundant in wood resources and China is hungry for wood materials. So in this case, we may think of this huge market and find a new way to commercialize our small diameter Douglas-fir. The first part is introducing the background of China’s fast economy growth and booming furnishings market. Then we will reach our target market-urban middle class. After analyzing the consumers’ conditions and tastes, the third part starts the 4P’s analysis. Combining with China’s real situation, this part presents the concrete products, provides detailed information and makes feasible marketing strategies. Then the forth part lays out some pros and cons and the fifth part gives recommendations on how to implement these strategies. Finally, the timetable will be suggested.
