Developing a Marketing Strategy – Part I

This entry is part 1 of 3 in the series Developing a Marketing Strategy

Business intuition is great from the perspective of a business owner, but you will need all of the facts to help define the business goals and objectives in order to develop successful small business marketing strategies.

Marketing is the total of activities involved in the transfer of goods from the producer or seller to the consumer or buyer, including advertising, packaging, distribution, shipping, storing, selling, etc. Strategy is the plan, method, or series of maneuvers or stratagems for obtaining a specific goal or result. Combine these definitions together and you come up with a strategy using market research that integrates company goals and objectives into the entire strategy. Meet with a marketing consultant for more help on these topics.
