Abstract
This research is a qualitative study aimed at analyzing the 8Ps marketing mix strategy and TOWS Matrix strategy of the Cha Punpee tea brand business to create a competitive advantage and meet the needs of the target group in the tea business. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the owner of the Cha Punpee tea brand (Mr.Nuttapong Maneekorn) and gathered from documents, textbooks, and research papers. The data were analyzed using the 8Ps marketing mix strategy, TOWS Matrix, and BCG Matrix.
The results showed that the analysis of the 8Ps marketing mix strategy combined with the TOWS Matrix strategy identified key strengths of the Cha Punpee tea brand, including 1) Product Strategy, where Cha Punpee tea brand offers a variety of products with meticulous production processes, and 2) Promotion Strategy, where Cha Punpee tea brand employs three types of marketing promotion: Integrated Marketing Communication, Word-of-Mouth Marketing, and Informal Sales Promotion. However, the brand still lacks diverse distribution channels. The analysis of the BCG Matrix reveals that Pan Pee Tea is classified as a Question Mark. As a new brand, Pan Pee Tea lacks a broad customer base, with most of its customers being loyal, repeat buyers. Consequently, its sales volume is not very high. Additionally, the investment in production and sales is minimal, with the owner managing all processes from the start to the end independently.

Introduction
Tea consumption is popular in various cultures around the world. Tea plays a significant role in the daily lives of millions of people, not only because of its pleasant taste but also due to its numerous health benefits. Consequently, the global tea industry continues to experience steady growth. In 2023, the global tea market was valued at approximately USD 75.93 billion, and it is projected to grow to USD 118.77 billion by 2030 (Maximize Market Research, 2024). In Thailand, the tea market is also experiencing continuous growth, with expected increases in revenue and sales volume across all distribution channels (6Wresearch, 2024). This demonstrates that in an era where business competition is intensifying, particularly in the highly competitive tea industry, comprehensive and effective marketing strategies are crucial for organizations aiming for success.
The marketing mix strategy is a comprehensive framework that enables organizations to develop and implement consistent and effective marketing strategies. Therefore, tea business operators must be well-prepared to face increasing competition. The 8Ps marketing mix strategy and TOWS Matrix strategy are vital tools for creating, managing, and analyzing organizational marketing activities. These strategies cover various aspects, including Product Strategy, Price Strategy, Place Strategy, Promotion Strategy, Packaging Strategy, Personal Strategy, Public Relation Strategy, and Power Strategy. Chotianan (2012) stated that the 8Ps strategy is a fundamental tool widely adopted by most businesses to ensure effective marketing. However, to achieve optimal results, it is essential to meticulously consider every detail of each strategy. The TOWS Matrix is an analytical tool used to organize information obtained from analyzing strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. This information is then analyzed to formulate appropriate strategies across all categories (Wannavisa, 2012).
This research aims to study the 8Ps marketing mix strategy and the TOWS Matrix strategy of the Cha Punpee tea brand, a new tea brand developed to promote the livelihoods of ethnic groups in the Huai Nam Khun village, Mae Fah Luang District, Chiang Rai Province. The study focuses on analyzing various aspects of the 8Ps marketing mix strategy, as well as conducting a SWOT analysis to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats using the TOWS Matrix. The goal is to create a competitive advantage, meet the needs of the target audience, and provide guidance for future entrepreneurs.

Literature Review
Concept of the Marketing Mix
Siriwan et al. (2003) stated that the Marketing Mix (or 4Ps) is a tool used for planning and managing marketing activities within an organization to meet the needs and satisfaction of the target audience. The Marketing Mix consists of four key elements:
Product: This refers to the goods or services offered by an organization to meet customer needs. This element requires consideration of the product’s features, the value provides to customers, and the unique qualities that differentiate it from competitors’ offerings.
Price: This is the amount customers must pay to acquire a product or service. Price setting must take into account production costs, competitor pricing, market conditions, and customer acceptance.
Place: This involves the distribution of the product or service, ensuring it is easily and conveniently accessible. Distribution channels may include physical stores, online platforms, or through intermediaries.
Promotion: This encompasses activities aimed at advertising and raising awareness of the product or service. Promotion can include television, radio, or online advertising, promotional events, discounts, or leveraging social media to generate interest.
Based on the marketing mix concepts discussed by scholars, the Marketing Mix is an essential framework that requires continuous development to achieve marketing goals, as customer needs are constantly evolving (Kongnaren, 2021).
Concept of Purchase Decision
Consumer behavior involves the actions related to purchasing, acquiring goods, and receiving services to satisfy needs through the consumer’s decision-making process. This process requires various stimuli or causes to trigger a specific behavior, which can be described as factors influencing consumer behavior. The decision to purchase goods or services is not immediate; rather, it is a process that unfolds in stages (Rangsiman, 2014).
Additionally, Suporn (2002) explained that the purchase decision process is the stage where consumers are ready to decide on purchasing a product or service after considering various options. During this stage, the intention to purchase a specific product arises. However, purchase intention does not necessarily result in an actual purchase, as other factors may influence the decision. These factors include economic conditions, market liquidity, emotional readiness, and financial capability, all of which play a significant role in determining the final purchase decision.
Concept of the TOWS Matrix
The TOWS Matrix is a strategic tool developed by Heinz Weihrich in 1982 to analyze situations and create effective strategies for organizations. It is an extension of the SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats), focusing on the alignment between internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) and external factors (opportunities and threats) to develop strategies that are in harmony with the organization’s environment and circumstances. The TOWS Matrix not only aids in strategic analysis and planning but also facilitates effective decision-making by considering both internal and external factors. This enables organizations to adapt and respond appropriately to market changes (Kotler & Keller, 2016).
Concept of the BCG Matrix
The BCG Matrix, also known as the Growth-Share Matrix, is a tool developed by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) to assist in analyzing and managing a business portfolio. This tool is designed to help companies identify and prioritize different products or business units within the organization by categorizing them into four main groups based on two dimensions: market growth and relative market share (Kotler, 2003). The categories are as follows:
1. Stars: Products or business units in high-growth markets with a high market share. These require significant investment to maintain and expand their market share.
2. Cash Cows: Products or business units with a high market share in low-growth markets. These generate stable revenue and typically require less investment.
3. Question Marks: Products or business units in high-growth markets with low market share. Strategic decisions are needed to determine whether to invest in increasing market share or to withdraw resources.
4. Dogs: Products or business units with low market share in low-growth markets. These typically generate minimal revenue and may be considered for divestment or closure.
Related Research
Marketing strategies play a crucial role in business operations and are essential in academic research for providing insights that can aid in business development and strategy formulation. A review of research on the 8Ps marketing mix strategy reveals that many scholars have studied this topic. For instance, Kumar and Malik (2020) studied and analyzed the 8Ps marketing mix strategy in the global beverage industry. Their findings indicate that effectively implementing the 8Ps marketing strategy can enhance competitiveness and customer satisfaction in the beverage industry. Similarly, Parmer et al. (2021) examined the 8Ps marketing mix and the buyer decision-making process. Their research concluded that various marketing elements such as product, promotion, training, pricing, and costs significantly influence customers’ decisions to purchase insurance policies.
In addition to the importance of marketing mix strategies for business, understanding the business environment and situation is also critical. The TOWS Matrix is a popular tool used for this purpose, and several researchers have applied it in their studies. For example, Nasution and Naufal (2020) studied customer needs in the wedding photography business, using the TOWS Matrix to develop business strategies that align with customer needs and market changes in the wedding photography sector. Their findings revealed that price and the packages offered by vendors were the most critical factors influencing customers’ decisions.
Similarly, Maity et al. (2023) applied SWOT and TOWS Matrix in evaluating agrivoltaics-crop cultivation under solar panels. Their research found that agrivoltaic systems have several strengths, including the potential for renewable energy production, increased crop yields, and economic benefits for farmers. However, the system also faces several weaknesses and threats, such as high initial investment costs, land-use conflicts, and potential environmental impacts. The TOWS Matrix analysis in this study provided strategic recommendations to maximize the potential of agrivoltaic systems while mitigating weaknesses and threats, including the adoption of flexible pricing strategies.
