...Formulating a Market Strategy BY REX STEWART #006 AUGUST - SEPTEMBER - 1986 In the previous article, we talked primarily about tools to determine your market niche and ways to utilize these tools in gathering information to determine your store's market position. With this information gathered, what do we do with it? On the board level, it should be utilized to formulate a strategic plan or to review an already existing plan. More importantly, on the staff level, the information gathered is the basis for an operational marketing strategy. A marketing strategy should be used as a working paper that guides the store's operations for the next 1-2 years. The format of a marketing strategy has three sections: 1. basic assumptions -- based on survey results and past planning processes; 2. strategic goals -- goals for growth and fiscal health of the co-op; 3. achieving goals -- operational ideas for changes that will alter the perception of the storefront by the public to conform to the strategic goals. (An advertising strategy, to be discussed in our next column, is a result of the marketing strategy and needs to be treated as a separate document. A market strategy creates the product to be advertised; the advertising strategy defines the markets to be advertised in and the media vehicles to be used.) As mentioned earlier, it is important that corporate goals are established through a strategic planning process before an operational marketing strategy can be written. These...

...Sustainable Export Marketing Strategy Fit and Performance Athina Zeriti, Matthew J. Robson, Stavroula Spyropoulou, and Constantinos N. Leonidou ABSTRACT Despite the growing global importance o f sustainability issues, scant research has examined marketing strategy sustain ability issues in international settings. Although significant prior work has examined drivers and performance conse quences o f adaptation/standardization o f marketing strategies in international markets, researchers have yet to apply this avenue o f inquiry to sustainable marketing strategies. Building on contingency theory and the concept o f strategic fit, the authors develop a model o f drivers o f sustainable export marketing strategy adaptation and explore the circum stances under which such a strategy affects export performance. Using a sample o f U.K. exporters, they find that vari ous macro- and microenvironmental factors are responsible for sustainable export marketing strategy adaptation, which shapes the nature o f sustainable export marketing strategy fit and its export venture performance outcomes. The results indicate that sustainable export marketing strategy adaptation is the outcome o f the differences between home and export markets in terms o f economic and technological conditions, competitive intensity, customer characteristics, and stakeholder pressures. Moreover, the performance relevance o f sustainable export marketing strategy adaptation requires adequate fit with...

...Marketing Strategy for Products Tiffany Major - Cooper Marketing Management / MKT 500 Dr. Shirley McLaughlin October 30, 2011 Choices My business Choices will be a Not for Profit, based upon educating women and children in abusive relationships. It would include helping them find resources to remove them from their environment, getting into support groups, other therapeutic techniques and starting educational classes if needed. Choices would need to determine which marketing objectives were needed if it wanted to start. It would also need to determine where it would be in the next year or longer, how Choices would get there, and how it will in point of fact know if it met its goals or not. I believe marketing objectives are very important for Choices, since the company is a not for profit company funding is a major key component that plays a big part in Choices functions. Without the proper funding Major Choice will not exist. Marketing will be important because Choices would be life changing for women and children and would need to take certain steps to make the women and children happy and healthy.
