...e-Marketing Project : Option 2 Marketing is the life blood of any organisation. Outline and describe the process of marketing with particular reference to services marketing and outline a marketing plan for a services organisation. Introduction There are many complex definitions and ideas of what marketing actually is, but a simple and concise one is: Marketing is “the commercial processes involved in promoting and selling and distributing a product or service” (Dictionary.com). In the context of services marketing, there is no “out of the box” product, which can be just purchased by a potential customer, so the marketing process is slightly different; however, the same rules apply. In this project I am going to address a general description of the marketing process, a brief look at how some services companies do their marketing, with particular focus on the software solutions division of the global multi-national Accenture, for whom I previously worked, so I will be talking largely from personal experience when referring to them and the online auction site eBay, of which I am an extremely regular user, buying on average 2 items per week from their site. Finally, I will outline a short marketing plan for a fictional software development services company. I will conclude just how important marketing is to any services organisation. Main Body The Process of Marketing Step 1 – Market Research In first step in any process is nearly always information gathering...

...Swot analysis of TCCC Objectives STP strategies 4ps strategies Financial budgeting Coca Cola’s mission statement: -To refresh the world -To inspire moments of optimism and happiness -To create value and make a difference Executive summary . The Coca-Cola Company was first established in 1886 by Dr John Styth Pemberton. Since then the company has become the world’s leading manufacturer in the soft drink industry, offering more than 500 brands in over 200 countries. TCCC provides 1.7 billion servings every day ,78% of these being Coke branded products. Over the past decade carbonated drinks have been increasingly criticised for their high sugar content or the health risks of artificial sweeteners and their impact on obesity. As a result we observe that the market for carbonates is shrinking significantly. Health awareness linked to alimentation is expected to grow exponentially over the next decade and it is safe to assume that the target market in 2 years will be much larger than today. People will tend to act more responsibly and be more careful about the chemicals they put in their bodies. In an effort to capture health-conscious customers, Coca Cola recently launched a new mid calorie alternative containing naturally occurring sugar, The Coca-cola life. This new soda takes advantage of the stevia, a natural sweetener which is calorie free and can be substituted to sugar. In this essay i will try to establish a marketing plan which will allow the...
