While many business owners rely mostly on their intuition
when it comes to making business decisions, this may not provide them all the
facts they need to get favorable results. To be able to reach business goals,
a businessman should have a well-planned marketing strategy to help him in
defining his business goals and develop activities to achieve them.
Marketing strategies are usually developed as multi-year
plans, together with a tactical plan that details the specific actions to be
accomplished in the current year. A marketing strategy needs to be seen on the
long term and it involves careful and precise examination of the internal and
external environments.
After a meticulous environmental scan is completed, a
strategic plan can now be developed to make out business alternatives, ascertain
challenging goals, determine the optimal marketing mix to achieve these goals,
and order implementation. One major component of a marketing strategy is to
keep marketing in line with the company’s mission statement.
The final step in the development of a marketing strategy is
to craft a plan that will oversee progress and to come up with a set of contingencies
should problems come up during the implementation of the plan.
It is important to come up with a good marketing strategy
that is based on market research and focus on the right product mix to be able
to achieve the maximum profit potential and maintain the business.
