Element 1: Plan Marketing Activities
What is Marketing?
The word ‘marketing’ is one that is widely known, but only a few people could actually sit down and define it, such is its nebulous nature. Marketing is all about doing things right; getting the right product, to the right people, at the right price, by using the right promotional techniques in order to make profit for your organisation. In this manual we will be examining how you can determine what marketing techniques are right for your organisation.
Planning in Marketing
A well planned marketing strategy is absolutely vital to the growth of any business. As a manager, you make business decisions every day. Oftentimes these decisions are made mostly relying on your intuition. In marketing however, there is still a need to make solid decisions; your intuition and gut instinct will not provide you with the information you need to achieve marketing results. Marketing decision making requires you to have an idea of what it is that your customers want, and while instinct can be used to determine this, often you will find that the customer is not that simple to read and that you have to rely on gathering information to make your final decisions. Helping you get these marketing and business goals are all part of getting your marketing activities set up and underway. A marketing strategy can help you not only define your business goals, but help you develop the activities to achieve them. Essentially a marketing strategy establishes where you want to go.
As a manager, it is possible to simply sit down and set up your own informal marketing plan using just a few steps. A marketing plan is useful in helping you in making decisions later down the road.
Why are We Different?
The first step in developing a marketing strategy is to describe a company’s unique selling proposition, which is often abbreviated to USP. A USP is what sets one business apart from the rest of the market. What service or product do you have to offer that is unique? Why would a consumer choose your product or service over others? Why are you in business?
Once you have defined your USP, it is time to establish who your target market is. Who are your customers? Who do you want as your customers? Do some research into target markets to determine whether you are similar to others in your industry? You may find that you have different targets for different products and you may need a different marketing strategy for each.
Now describe how you will position your products or services. This step may take a little research and involves thinking creatively. Start with how you are currently positioning your product, and then move on to what you would like to see in the future. Think about whether your current marketing position reflects what you want it to or whether there needs to be some changes occurring. Does your market position reflect your goals?

Element 1: Plan Marketing Activities
Finally, define your marketing tactics. What methods are you currently using? Do these methods match your target audiences? For example, someone who loves reading blogs via RSS feeds will be a very different individual than someone who reads the tabloid newspapers or someone who watches SBS.
It is important that you formulate an effective marketing budget. Most organisations treat marketing as an investment – one that you hope will pay off in terms of improved profits or sales.
Marketing Strategies
Let’s now look at some examples of specific marketing strategies. Marketing strategies work to show the linkage between your marketing tactics and the overall direction the business wants to achieve. Examples of marketing strategies could be:
Expand distribution
Increase sales
Improve market share
Launch new products
Increase profits
Start selling products in to overseas markets
Increase selling prices
Reduce the amount spent on television advertising
Implement a public relations program
Build customer awareness
Invest more in advertising.
Once you have determined what strategy you would like to adopt, you must turn that overall strategy into an action plan – a series of marketing tactics that will enable you to achieve your goals. The starting point for this plan is the setting of marketing objectives. Marketing objectives are the specific targets for marketing set by the business to achieve their corporate objectives.
Examples of marketing objectives might be:
Increase sales by 8%
Launch a new product that satisfies a specific need in the market by the end of the year
Achieve a 98% customer satisfaction rating
Increase the number of retail outlets selling our products by 250 within 12 months
Achieve brand recognition among 90% of the general population within 3 years.

Element 1: Plan Marketing Activities
Marketing objectives are critical to marketing success because they give managers targets to work towards. If there are solid targets in place, then managers can measure more effectively whether the marketing strategies are actually working or whether there are problems with the way things are being done.
Now that we have set specific objectives for our organisation, let’s now consider examining the market as a whole.
Determining Opportunities
The marketing audit is critical to the process of developing ideas for marketing a business. The audit itself looks at all aspects of current marketing to identify areas where improvements can be made. The process is conducted at the beginning of the marketing process, and should be repeated at intervals to allow you to see any advancement that is being made. An audit of your marketing activities should consider carefully both the internal and the external environments within which your organisation operates as well as looking at your previous marketing plans. Essentially, a marketing audit is attempting to establish what environment an organisation is operating in - what a business is facing and how an organisation can use this to their advantage.
Marketing audits generally work best when they are based on tools that allow you to gather the right level of information. One of the most effective tools is the SWOT analysis which looks at the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats that a business faces. It covers both the internal and external environment. Other tools that may be adopted include the PEST and Five Forces Analyses; these are strongly focussed on the external environment. By conducting a marketing audit you are attempting to make clear the opportunities and threats faced by an organisation and using this information you will try to make alterations to the plan based on the information from the audit tools. We will also consider the part the marketing environment plays.
The Internal Marketing Environment
The internal marketing environment is made up of those aspects of the environment that affect marketing within the organisation. Here you should examine:
What resources do we use within our marketing plan
Labour
The budget
Equipment
Time
Factors of production
Marketing team organisation

Element 1: Plan Marketing Activities
The External Marketing Environment
All market orientated organisations must examine who their customers actually are. This is one of the important aspects of the external environment. Think about:
Their needs and how we satisfy them.
Their buyer decision process and consumer behaviour.
Their perception of our brand, and loyalty to it.
The nature of segmentation, targeting and positioning in our markets.
What customers ‘value’ and how we provide that ‘value’.
As well as dealing with customers, you must think about the competition:
What is the nature of competition in our target markets?
How profitable the competition is.
Who the competition are and how many we are facing.
The external environment also covers culture in general, as this can be a source of opportunities or threats:
What cultures are present
Religious and other beliefs
Education
Lifestyles
Consumerism
Demographics of the target audience (age, gender and so on)
Manufacturing techniques
Economic conditions
Income
Tax, inflation, interest rates, exchange rates
The law
Regulation.
Reviewing the Current Marketing Plan
Next we need to consider the organisation’s current marketing plan, so that we can establish the following points:
Marketing objectives
Marketing strategies
How the marketing mix is utilised
13Candidate Resource BSBMKG414A Undertake Marketing Activities© Precision Group (Australia) Pty Ltd
Element 1: Plan Marketing Activities
Marketing controls that are in place
Marketing budget
How well objectives are being reached
Is the plan being implemented correctly
Staffing levels
Staff training
The experience levels of marketing staff
Market share
Financial targets.
As mentioned previously, there are a range of tools that can be used to assist in determining where the organisation lies in regard to overall market position. In this section we will look at a range of these tools.
Target Markets and Segmentation
There are many ways in which a market can be segmented. The segment that you select will also have a significant effect on the marketing tactics that you adopt. Sometimes the best option arises from using a number of different strategies. In order to segment the market, it is best to answer the following questions: where, who, why and how?
Where?
A market can be divided according to where consumers are located. Geographic segmentation is the division of the market according to different geographical areas. You may segment based on country, town, region or even suburb. This form of segmentation provides the marketer with an image of the consumers within a specific area.
Geographic segmentation has a number of advantages including:
providing an overview of consumer differences and similarities according to geographical unit;
cultural differences become prominent;
climatic differences can be taken into account for seasonal marketing; and
recognises language differences.
But geographic segmentation does not allow you to look at personality or demographic factors and the way that they are influencing market behaviours.

Element 1: Plan Marketing Activities
Who?
A very useful segmentation method uses demographic variables in order to accurately segment the market into smaller groups. This allows you to gain a solid understanding of exactly who your customers are, in order for you to identify and understand what they want or need from your products as well as examining the rates of use. In order to really understand your customers, you need to divide your customers down into groups such as male/female, age, religion, education level and the like. This segmentation strategy really lets you get to the heart of who your customers are because this data is very readily available from secondary sources.
Why?
If the above segmentation strategy aims to determine who your customers are, this one tries to address why they purchase. The why question is answered using psycho-demographic segmentation. This segmentation strategy attempts to divide up your customers into groups based on personality, lifestyle and values variables. This type of segmentation is useful because it:
provides useful data on the psychological make-up of your customers, which can be
leveraged to produce better strategies;
enables you to determine the reasons why people are purchasing your product, and
you can use this to improve sales levels;
Allows you to tailor your marketing communication efforts more closely towards the
tastes of your customers; and
allows you to profile your customers more closely.
Your Objectives and Reviews
The objective is the starting point of the marketing plan. Once environmental analysis (such as SWOT, and GAP) and a market audit have been completed, their results will be useful in determining objectives. The objectives that you set are aimed at attempting to answer the question – where is it that we are trying to go with our marketing? The purposes of objectives include:
To enable a company to control its marketing performance.
To help to motivate individuals and teams to reach a common goal.
To provide the organisation with a focus for its marketing function.
When setting your marketing objectives, ensure that they are SMART, that is: Specific,
Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Timed.
15Candidate Resource BSBMKG414A Undertake Marketing Activities© Precision Group (Australia) Pty Ltd
Element 1: Plan Marketing Activities
Specific – look at what you want to achieve and be specific about what it is you are
looking to achieve.
Measurable – ensure that the objective is quantifiable.
Achievable – ensure that you aren’t asking for too much.
Realistic – do you have everything together that you need?
Time-bound – when do you want to achieve the objective by? (Within a month? By February 2013?)
These objectives can then form the basis of any performance review. Once your performance is measured, you can compare the results against your objectives in order to determine where improvement is needed.
As a marketing organisation, you need to be careful not to believe the evaluation process takes place only at the end of the processes in question. If you only evaluate at the conclusion of the activities, it is essentially too late to see whether things actually went well. It also means that you are likely to be missing a lot of opportunities to change for the better. While we cover marketing plan monitoring later in this manual, it is important to always consider the fact that SMART objectives allow you to monitor your plan fully.
