Based on the BLSC (C) case, complete this assignment according to the instructions below.

Instructions

1. Conduct a SWOT analysis for Safe Appliance (under Boulay before acquisition). Develop and discuss 4Ps for Safe Appliance.
2. Discuss positioning strategy for Safe Appliance.

4. Answer the questions.
   1. What are the strengths and weaknesses of this positioning?
   2. Should SafeAppliance target multiple segments?
