The strategy is developed to ensure the company will deliver the intended value to those customers through a blend of marketing mix tools. Example of an Integrated Marketing Plan Environmental Analysis Environmental analysis is a vital exercise to complete by any company that will explore and understand the external local, national or international forces that might affect your business. The factors are largely outside the direct control of any company and can sometimes have a negative impact on their plans. Equally this can be very important as it will support the business and marketing strategy allowing the company to take advantage of potential opportunities whilst minimising the potential threats to the company.

...2001).The marketing environment is all the factors and forces outside the marketing department that would affect the mangers decisions. It is split into 2 sections: The Micro-environment and the Macro-Environment. These factors can bring opportunities or threats hence why managers need to ensure they are aware of them to ensure the company maximize sales and doesn’t go out of business (Baines et al, 2008). The main purpose of this report is to analyse how the Premier Inn marketing strategies relate to the current macro-environment. To enable me to critically analyse this I have taken the 3 forces; Economical, Technological and demographic. Firstly however I will review the theory on this topic. 2. MICRO-ENVIRONMENT The micro-environment forces can be summarised as the forces that directly affect the business (Armstrong et al, 2009). Evan’s (1988) believes that as they are directly affecting the business, they are much easier to identify than macro-forces which are ‘knock on effects’. The common micro-environment factors are: other departments (within the company), suppliers, marketing intermediaries, customers, competitors and public (Armstrong et al, 2009). The company will need to build relationships with these forces to enable them to sufficiently receive and provide information, create agreements that benefit both parties and to avoid negative publicity (Gillespie, 2011). 3. MACRO-ENVIRONMENT The macro-environment factors are the influences that indirectly affect...

When speak from macro and micro perspective we must bear in mind that these are two different phenomenon’s. Micro factors can be described as factors that people and businesses keep in mind when making decisions concerning the allocation of resources, whereas macro factors can be described as the factors that are kept in mind when making decisions regarding not only specific companies but industries as a whole and economies, more over micro environmental factors are the one’s over which the business has control for example price, product and promotion whereas macro environmental factors are the one’s over which the business has no control as such as social, cultural, technological and political factors. Businesses operate in markets keeping in mind changing situations not only of their market conditions but also the trends of the economies that they operate in, so that they can adjust and survive in accordance with new situations because adaptation is a must for a business to survive and prosper otherwise a business might be forced to cease operations and shut down.

...Marketing Principles All organisations will use some sort of marketing. Marketing is there so an organisation can find out what their customers’ needs are, and how these can be met. In this manual I will be talking about John Lewis Marketing process. Having a good marketing department can help the John Lewis keep costs down. If the correct process is taken for marketing, it will eliminate the guessing and forecasting that are linked with trying to predict product trends and consumers demand for goods or services. when the organisation knows what they customers wants, they will all be able to provide the right type of product or service and will always have customers ready to purchase. All so having a good marketing department or team, will help a John Lewis build a loyal customer base and help with repeat custom. This is called brand loyalty; it is one of the main advantages of having a good marketing team.

Every business or organisation will follow marketing plan or a marketing process. The marketing plan will serve as a wide range plan which will outline the organisations marketing efforts.

...interest the new market youth. We will look at the micro and macro-environmental forces that can influence the marketing strategies for these products and services. We will look at whether marketers in these countries will use similar marketing strategies to influence this group or will their strategies be different from Western-based consumption marketers. Then we will take a look to see what opportunities for the U.S companies we might foresee. China and India are two of the world’s largest emerging markets that are growing rapidly. Our text states “As populations grow, so does consumer spending. As the percentage of the population of working age grows, so does economic stability. When a large share of a country's population is in the work force, that country sees income growth and high per-capita savings” (White, 2012). So as these countries grow we will see a significant increase in consumer spending. As these markets become wealthier we will see an increase in personal income growth for consumers which will increase their purchasing power. This can be an increase in food, housing accommodation, cars and energy etc... I think we will also see the younger market leaning towards branding and discretionary spending. “The most important factors in the micro environment are a firm’s competitive position and the composition of its customers. An operation has more influence on its micro environment than on the macro environment. Therefore, operators and marketers...

...1. What micro environmental factors have affected Target’s performance over the past few years? Target’s performance has been affected by a range of micro environmental factors. The major micro environmental factor was the drop in sales revenues and the dwindling profits. Wal-Mart’s sales were growing, and that meant that Target’s sales would go down since consumers preferred Wal-Mart for Target. The inability of Target’s managers to identify a solution to the problem of dropping sales and develop a viable course of action also affected Target’s performance. Another micro environmental factor was the thriftiness of customers all over America, which endeared them to Wal-Mart. The impatience of Target’s shareholders and the pressure they exerted on the company’s board to deliver was also a major factor. The marketing strategies that were adopted by the management also failed to turn things around. However hard the company tried, they were unable to establish a firm grip on the market. 2. What macro environmental factors have affected Target’s performance during that period? Target’s performance was affected by the global financial crisis that hit the world during that time. The crisis caused a fall in GDP and massive unemployment. This affected the buying habits of customers who then preferred to buy from Wal-Mart due to their legacy as a low-cost discounting store. Wal-Mart, Target’s main competitor, was attracting more customers because of its low-cost selling strategy. Consumption...

...Company Case: Prius: Leading a Wave of Hybrids 1. What micro-environmental factors affected both the first generation and second generation models of Toyota Prius? How well has to Toyota dealt with these factors? In order for the reader to have an understanding of this question is important to begin by defining Micro-environment. This term is a factor of the Marketing Environment and it consists of the issues that, in one way or another, affect the company's ability to serve its clientele in a close and direct way. This includes factors such as customers, suppliers, competitors, shareholders, employees and media (among others). Having this in mind, it could be safe to state that the micro-environmental factors affecting the first and second generation of the Toyota Prius are the customers and the competitors. Consumers, getting affected by the gas prices, were looking for an answer to their prayers. Toyota gave them the answer, a vehicle that would allow people to save on gas as well as provide good and efficient service. Once the first generation Prius was released, although not too pretty or fancy, it served to its purposed and customers were buying it. The other factor, competitors, is pretty obvious. Everybody wants a piece of the pie. Auto makers such as Honda started developing and/or implementing the hybrid system on some of their vehicles. Toyota's answer was to keep developing what already has been a success, the Prius. A second generation was developed and...
