<p> </p><p> </p><p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p></p><p><p>The thesis will provide a description of the previous Swedish NRT marketing mix, a description of the present plans of Swedish NRT marketers for the marketing mix of their products, and the present marketing mix of the previously deregulated pharmacy markets in Finland and Norway. The purpose is to develop conclusions on how marketers of NRT products could change their marketing mix in response to the deregulation of the Swedish pharmacy market. </p><p> </p><p>This thesis relies on a descriptive method. Interviews are used as the source of primary data. This is because some of the information sought after is not readily available and cannot be found through secondary data.</p></p><p>Markets are mature only in the minds of the actors on the market. Due to the deregulation the market seems to be a window of opportunity for any innovative, aggressive marketing entrepreneur who wants to radically change his or her position in the market. NRT marketers could attempt to design a new, more aggressive strategy and work with the remaining Ps to unhinge what seems to be regarded a mature market. NRT marketers should work more actively to create an effective market feedback loop. NRT marketers should consider using the Internet to sell their products to consumers, thus opening a new channel.</p>
