Strategic Marketing Management is the application of marketing principles and techniques to achieve your strategic goals. It is based on the idea that marketing is not an one-time activity but a continuous and dynamic process that adapts to the changing needs and preferences of your customers and the environment. Strategic Marketing Management helps you to:
a) Understand your current and potential customers, their needs, wants, and expectations.
b) Analyse your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) in relation to your competitors and the market.
c) Define your mission, vision, values, and objectives that guide your marketing decisions.
d) Craft a comprehensive marketing strategy delineating your target market segments, positioning, differentiation, and competitive advantage.
e) Implement a marketing mix that consists of the four Ps: product, price, place, and promotion.
f) Monitor and evaluate your marketing performance and outcomes using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and feedback mechanisms.
g) Review and revise your marketing strategy and tactics as needed to ensure alignment with your goals and customer satisfaction.
Strategic Marketing Management is not an optional or luxury activity but a vital and essential methodology for any business that wants to survive and thrive in a competitive and dynamic market. Strategic Marketing Management is important because it:
a) Helps you to identify and satisfy your customers' needs and wants better than your competitors.
b) Enables you to create and deliver value to your customers and stakeholders.
c) Allows you to adapt and respond to the changing market conditions and customer preferences.
d) Assists in attaining your business goals and objectives, fostering business growth.
