WHAT IS MARKETING?

•What is it for you?

•How has marketing changed in your working lifetime?

According to Jobber/Ellis Chadwick (2013) the goal of marketing is
long term satisfaction not short term deception.
MARKETING PLANS
• Is a marketing plan a static document?
• Strategic v.Tactical plans?

According to Doyle and Stern (2006) the plan communicates the objectives and
strategy to the management team and permits rational debate about potential
and chances of success.

VISION V. MARKETING
• Mission, Vision and Values Statements
• Your company has them right? ….or does it?
• Fujitsu – Kill Kodak
• South West Airlines
“Organisations must be wary of a definition which is too wide or too
narrow, also the definition of the business must not be outside of the
competencies of the management and resources.”

Good examples of wide and well managed definitions; Virgin 300+ companies, ASDA were associated
dairies, had the distribution sorted and added more product lines beyond milk. See Jobber & Ellis
Chadwick 2013 p44-45

STRATEGIC V. MARKETING

• Strategic, tactical and emergencies
Understanding the strategic situation, confronting an organisation is an
essential starting point in developing a marketing strategy.” Cravens
(1986)

from Wilson & Gilligan (2013) p19 Strategic planning logically precedes marketing
planning by providing a framework within which marketing plans might be
formulated.

Tools: PEST, STEEPLE
MORE INFO ON MISSIONS…

Want to learn more about missions?
Google “big brand business name” mission statement 2013

Tactical moves away from the mission and emergencies:
Food scares, health scares, disasters,
Umbrellas to flip flops – dig about in that warehouse…

Jobber & Ellis Chadwick (2013) use Amazon as a good example of how mission can ride through
challenging trading times to become a leader demonstrating a fixed mission but flexibility of approach.

Tools: Porter’s Five Forces
MATCHING THE MISSION (ACTIVITY 5 MINS)
•What tools would you use to understand the decisions
behind strategic and tactical marketing in your

STEEPLE, PESTLE, SLEPT, PEST, SWOT

MARKETING PLAN RISKS (ACTIVITY)

the business?

making and new product development based on risk
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG ….

• SERIOUSLY IMPACT SALES POTENTIAL

WHAT IS THE RISK IF WE….
• send a press release out to announce xxxx will be on the market
dd/mm/yyyy

• When we decide a risque tweet will be what we need to get attention

• When we latch onto some unfortunate disaster and promote our
product

• A customer says they found some xxx in their xxxx

DIFFICULT MEASURES

Evaluating effectiveness is difficult, but with substantial
expenditure, close control is important.

Measurement and control should not only look at the extent to
which objectives have been met but also provide reasons for
variances which can be used to adjust future campaigns.

LANCASTER AND MASSINGHAM (2011)
TASK 3 MEASURE AND REVIEW
PRIMARY MEASURES OF SUCCESS FOR ANY BUSINESS:

• SHORT TERM SUCCESS MEASURES
• VOLUME (UNIT AND £) PROFIT CONTRIBUTION
