Business Marketing Strategies Determine The Success Or Failure Of An Organization

By Ed Hulse


Business marketing strategies are action plans on how an organization plans to use its limited resources for maximum benefit. An organization is able to increase its sales and gain a competitive advantage. Business marketing strategy is the main factor that determines whether an enterprise will succeed or fail in its ventures.

Action plans are designed to accomplish short term and long term objectives of an organization. An action plan has to ensure that the markets needs and wants are satisfactorily met. The needs and wants of the market keep changing. It is therefore important for the action plan to be interactive and dynamic in nature.

The action plan takes into account internal and external factors that affect the organization. The organization looks at how to use the positive factors to its advantage and how to minimize the effect of the constraint factors.

An action plan has to do an analysis on the acronym SWOT which stands for Strengths, Weakness, Opportunity and Threats. This analysis seeks to find the strengths of the organization and its weakness. This assists to know where the organization should focus its efforts on and where it should pull up its socks.

A SWOT analysis exposes known or unknown opportunities for an organization. This may mean that an organization can diversify their line of work to include a product that is unrelated to the core product or to really intensify their core product production.

The final step in creating business marketing strategies is implementing a monitoring process to evaluate the progress of the strategies. This is vital in that an organization is able to know where exactly it is going wrong and correct it.
