Principles of Marketing Amwell
Consultancy and Training Ltd (ACT) has a strong reputation in all
areas of Marketing. Marketing is all about identifying, anticipating
and satisfying customer requirements profitably. It is so important
that organisations ignore marketing at their peril. It is the key
to survival. If you get the 4 P's right, then there is every possibility
(probability?) that you will be successful - Product, Price, Place
and Promotion.

Marketing is a positive business activity, which establishes, develops
and satisfies both customer needs and wants. It is an intercommunications
link provided by suppliers with a view to matching adequate supply with
realistic demand, the reward for which is the operation of a profitable
undertaking. ACT offers a wide-ranging service to Clients
in the areas of Marketing and the development of Marketing Plans.
Market Research
Market research is the process of making investigations into the characteristics
of given markets. For example, location, size, growth potential and observed
attitudes. ACT has substantial experience in this area
and our Lead Associate is Michael Mayers, who has a long track record
of successful marketing and market research in the private sector. We
have experience of devising, administering and analysing the results of
questionnaires, conducting focus groups and consulting with users, non-users
and lapsed users of products and services.
Marketing Strategy and the Marketing Plan
A Marketing Strategy is generally a written Plan, usually comprehensive,
which describes all activities involved in achieving a particular marketing
objective and their relationship to one another in both time and magnitude.
A Marketing Strategy will include both short- and long-term sales forecasts,
production and profit targets, pricing policy, promotional and selling
strategy, staffing requirements, as well as the selected marketing mix
and expense budgets.
Developing a Marketing Strategy
In simple terms, two related tasks are involved.
These are:
Select a target market or target markets in which the enterprise is to
operate and
Develop a "Marketing Mix" for each target market selected.

Market Planning Process
In outline, the Market Planning Process comprises the following steps:
|
Who are your Customers and how do you reach them?
You generally know who your customers are, but what about the non-users and lapsed users of your product
or service? How do you reach them and what do they think of you? Know this and you can target them
successfully. |
