Customers buy a product or service because it fulfills a want or need. Marketing is how potential customers learn about a product and determine if it might be a good fit. Your ability to articulate the key benefits your product provides is, therefore, critical to business success.

To communicate with potential customers in a meaningful way requires a deep understanding of your product and the problems it solves. Communicating the benefits gives meaning to features and helps buyers make an informed choice of the value they will receive by purchasing the product.

Including this information in your marketing strategy helps the team consistently describe why potential customers are going to love your product. This is key to launching integrated campaigns that reinforce the same value proposition across all social channels, advertisements, and company-published content.

A marketing strategy establishes how you will achieve your company's vision, mission, and business goals. It brings together core building blocks that show a comprehensive understanding of the market and where your product or service fits.

Your strategy should be clearly articulated and easily accessible to the team. This keeps everyone aligned on the long-term plan and how success will be measured. You will need to review your strategy regularly as market conditions change and you learn more about what your customers want and need. This ensures that your marketing efforts stay in sync with the business and, most importantly, effectively engage your customers.
