What is marketing strategy?

A marketing strategy plan is a directed course of action to achieve an intended set of goals. A well-rounded marketing strategy specifically outlines the unique value proposition of the product or service, the market in which the organization or product competes and the resources and abilities that you and your organization have that make you a winning competitor in your market.

Marketing strategy plans can be the difference between the success and failure of your organization. Some of the top reasons why enterprises have failed in recent history because their products are inferior or don’t match a need, because of poor pricing strategy, poor marketing, or because of other issues related to product, price, promotion, or distribution. In essence, they fail to have a good plan that supports the goals of the company. This skills you bring to the table as a marketing strategist or as a leader with market strategy skills could help your ideas or organization better compete in the marketplace.
