Sun and Fun Waterpark Assignment
1) The company Sun and Fun Park has been run successfully over the past 30 years and has held a high reputation among its locals. Tammy Yasky has built this company from the ground up and has put everything that she has had to contribute to the success of this company. The company’s current situation involves some obstacles to avoid but holds great potential for greater success. The company in general has had great success throughout their waterpark and their employees, attracting their customers. What they haven’t had as great success on over recently history id there outdated mini golf course and their inability to draw new customers through advertising. Threats to this company comes from expansion of the waterpark industry including a new company potentially moving to London. Though Tammy has toyed with the notion of selling the company, the opportunity that the park still has is a great reason of why she shouldn’t. The expansion of a food stand in the company is new area of service that can bring in great profit to the park. A possibility of a brand new mini golf course can also draw more attention and new customers to the park. In order to better advertise these expansions and modifications, advertisements through radio, coupons and billboards can be used to promote. The company, already well established, holds great opportunity and potential to improve on its weaknesses to acquire a maximum profit. The company has not been losing much profit but the areas of the park that have been making steady profit are able to improve.
