What Is a Marketing Strategy?

An effective, targeted marketing strategy is one of the most important tools for growing any business. The most successful businesses know more about their competitors than their competitors may know about themselves. These firms never stop gathering data that will help them succeed in the marketplace. And they use their information to reach new customers and retain existing customers.

But what is a marketing strategy? A complete marketing strategy addresses three basic issues: where you are now, where you want to be in the future, and how will you get there. Successful marketers use their in-house data as well as industry and national economic trends to develop long-range "big ideas" into a corporate marketing strategy that meets the company's goals. Strategy also encompasses theory, corporate and industry trends and forecasts, and yearly planning while also addressing human resource needs, channel viability and campaigns.
