Marketing plan. A marketing plan is
critical for the development of a successful business. The following table
gives you an indication of the marketing process you should be going through in
order to produce a coherent and achievable marketing plan. The large
multi-national companies will spend many months on this and hold many, many
internal meetings to debate the options. Smaller companies should at least
consider the process and attempt to answer the same questions - although it
should be much quicker/easier.
Marketing mix. You have decided what
your overall company mission is. You have then gone through the process of
defining your marketing objectives, and defining the marketing strategies you
will employee in order to meet those objectives. You are now moving into the
decision-making process for defining the actual tactics you will
utilise. |
