Preface
In business it is very important to plan the firm's marketing strategy. It is no longer
the case that people will buy your good or service just because you think it is a good
product. Potential customers must be convinced that you have the right product, at the
right place, at the right time, at the right price, which satisfies their particular need
or want. Managers must not only know how to produce a product, but they should also have
some knowledge of how to successfully market it. One way businesses can develop an
effective plan for their overall marketing strategy is by designing a marketing plan.
This electronic
workbook presents a simple step-by-step guide to preparing an appropriate strategic
marketing plan. The model presented aims to assist you in developing a detailed and
thorough marketing plan, however, it is up to you to use your knowledge of the product,
service or idea, your creative imagination and the space provided, to bring life to a
realistic and practical plan.
Topics include
undertaking situation analysis, setting objectives, targeting a specific market,
developing an appropriate marketing strategy and organising evaluative controls on the
marketing activities.
