The document discusses strategic marketing options for Hand Tools division to achieve a 900% growth target over 5 years. It analyzes the industry, competition and consumer landscape. Two main strategic ideas are proposed: 1) Create demand among technicians through a brand engagement program like a utility services exchange. 2) Create demand by facilitating and tapping into strong subcultures like bike maintenance workshops, skills workshops, and an reality show contest to engage enthusiasts. Brand building support requires understanding consumer attitudes and critical attributes, executing area-centric approaches aggressively with sufficient manpower and resources. The goal is to "jack up the market".
