Part 4:
Marketing (Topic 5)

Consider if your
strategic plan is a market entry plan (entrepreneurial), a market
expansion plan for an existing organization, or a mergers and
acquisitions plan. Deciding who the target market is and determining
their demographics, behaviors, motivation, needs, and goals is
essential because the target market drives the marketing plan. This
is typically done through studying research and data related to how
potential customers are willing to invest their time and energy.
Additionally, by deciding who potential customers are, deciphering
their needs, and likes and dislikes, learning about their lifestyle,
and observing how the target market behaves, creating a brand that
appeals to these customers is possible.

Create a 15-20
slide PowerPoint with speaker notes that explains your marketing
strategy. Refer to the Marketing section of ?Operations Chart?
that was due in Topic 4. Based on your research and experience, your
ideas may have changed and can be modified at any time during this
plan.

Address the
following:

1. What is your
   target market?
2. What is the
   size of your target market?
3. What
   resources do you believe would be required to implement your plan?
4. How will you
   reach your plan?
5. How does
   your marketing strategy seek to achieve your vision? How will you
   measure if the marketing strategy is achieving your vision? What are
   the indicators to identify this?
6. What type of
   leadership and innovative qualities do you plan to implement in
   order to execute your marketing strategy?

five sources in your presentation.
