arketing exists in order to
support an organization in
achieving its strategic goals–for
growth, profitability, revenue,
influence, and so on. The role of marketing
is to identify, satisfy, and retain customers.
A comprehensive marketing plan paints the big picture of what is happening with an
organization internally and externally. After analyzing the marketing environment,
the plan then recommends strategies and tactics aimed at helping the organization
take full advantage of available opportunities and resources to accomplish its goals.
When a marketing plan is completed thoughtfully and skillfully, it helps marketers
not only present the case for what they
recommend doing, but it also creates a
common vision within the organization
about what’s happening and how people
and resources will come together to achieve
that vision.

What is It

arketing plans can be developed to focus in a variety of areas. A corporate
marketing plan can be developed to promote the organization as a whole.
Marketing plans may also focus on specific brands, products, services,
market segments, and even to cover a set period of time, such as a quarterly
marketing plan.
To illustrate:
Company A might develop and execute three distinct marketing plans that share
some common elements, such as the situation and company analysis and the market
segmentation. When it comes to specific target audiences, positioning, campaign
objectives, and planning, the three marketing plans diverge to focus on different
dimensions of the business:
2. A marketing plan focused on the launch and rollout of a new product line
On the other hand, Company B might develop and execute a single marketing plan
that incorporates several different campaigns targeting the market segments served
by its product and service portfolio. In this case, some sections of the plan are
expanded to provide information, strategy, and planning focused on each target
segment. This includes segment-specific customer profiles, positioning, Integrated
Marketing campaigns, and so forth.
Either of these approaches could be exactly right for the organization, depending on
its goals and objectives. What’s most important is for the marketing plans to do a
good job guiding marketing teams to formulate and execute marketing activities that
are well aligned what the organization is trying to achieve. If multiple marketing plans
are being developed and used, it is essential for marketing managers to make sure
internal communication and sharing are happening between the marketing team
members executing the plans. By sharing information about goals, messaging,
timing, audience touch points, and other elements, marketers can avoid stepping on
one another’s toes or creating confusion in the market. Ideally, teams can learn from
one another’s successes and experiences so that the entire marketing effort becomes
smarter and more efficient over time.

expresses what is true about marketing plan.
__________1. Marketing plans may focus on specific brands, products or segments.
