SWOT Analysis: The SWOT analysis is an enormously useful tool for understanding and decision-making for all types of situations in business and organizations. SWOT is an abbreviation of: S--------Strengths W--------Weaknesses O---------Opportunities T-------- Threats. The SWOT analysis headings provide a good framework for reviewing strategy, position and direction of a company or business proposition, or any other idea. Strengths and Weaknesses are 'mapped' or 'graphed' in contrast to Opportunities and Threats. To enable this to happen cleanly and clearly, and from a logical point of view anyway when completing a SWOT analysis in most business and marketing situations.

22 HAILEY COLLEGE OF COMMERCE, UNIVERSITY OF THE PUNJAB, LAHORE SWOT Analysis: Our society is basically an Opportunity Heaven for baking industries with high utilization of bakery products. Whether we are talking about any marriage ceremony or may be any birthday event, presence of sweets and bakery products always there while conveying different messages. Even our cultural and religious occasions are considered incomplete without such a sweet and bakery stuff. The core idea is that sweet & bakery industry got a tremendous scope in Pakistans society with having negligible chances for its failure. So, we are the first one to introduce the online bunch of bakeries in Pakistan. We are providing Pakistans 9 largest trustworthy bakeries products under one roof. In addition to it, we are offering services to make the customers precious moments alive forever (such as birthdays, weddings, cultural festivals and religious festivals). With the changing trend of the society the traditional shape and taste of our people are changing and many other alternatives are replacing it. Status consciousness is among one of the strongly contributing factors which is continuously changing customer taste. Such as cake, pastries, ice creams and chocolates are the popular categories that are giving tough time to traditional desi sweets. Strengths and Weaknesses are regarded distinctly as internal factors, whereas Opportunities and Threats are regarded distinctly as external factors. The concept is explanation in more detail as follows: Strengths and Weaknesses the internal environment - the situation inside the company or organization for example, factors relating to products, pricing, costs, profitability, performance, quality, people, skills, adaptability, brands, services, reputation, processes, infrastructure, etc. factors tend to be in the present Opportunities and Threats the external environment - the situation outside the company or organization for example, factors relating to markets, sectors, audience, fashion, seasonality, trends, competition, economics, politics, society, culture, technology, environmental, media, law, etc.
