- Step 1: Determine the needs and wants of the target population because marketing always starts with the customer.
- Step 2: Specify the benefits of the product or service to the target population.
- Step 3: Develop a budget and timetable.
- Step 4: Implement the plan according to the original design and then evaluate its effectiveness.
- Step 5: Develop a marketing strategy for ensuring a good fit between the goals and resources of the organization and the needs and wants of the target population.
Marketing Strategy
- Specifies a target market and four elements: Product, Place, Price, and Promotion.
- Product: all of the characteristics of the product or service that are to be exchanged with the target market.
- Place: the actual location where the exchange takes place, including accessibility and comfort for the client.

- Promotion: the organization’s informative or communication with the target market.
Marketing Tools

- Four classes of variables used for market segmentation:
- Geographical segmentation: grouping people according to the location of their residence or work.
- Demographic segmentation: grouping based on variables such as income, age, sex, occupation, family size, religion, and marital status.
- Psychographic segmentation: based on criteria such as personal values, attitudes, opinions, behavior, lifestyle, and level of readiness for change.
- Behavioristic segmentation: based on criteria such as purchase frequency and occasion, and attitude toward the product.
