Marketing Objectives

  • Marketing is identifying, anticipating, and satisfying customer needs profitably, not just advertising.
  • Different market types include consumer markets, B2B markets, local markets, national markets, C2C markets, and global markets.
  • Marketing steps involve identifying customer needs, anticipating future demands, and developing/satisfying customer needs profitably.
  • Main marketing objectives include sales growth (increase in percentage change of sales over a period), sales volume (number or quantity of units sold), sales value (total revenue generated), market share (percentage of total market sales), brand loyalty (customer commitment), and new market entry (expanding customer base).
  • Corporate objectives are overall business goals (e.g., increasing profits or market share).
  • Marketing objectives are specific targets for the marketing department (e.g., achieving 10% market share).

Market Size

  • Market size in volume refers to the total number of units sold in a specific market.
  • Market size in value refers to the total revenue generated by sales in the market (measured in £).
  • Market size is calculated as: Market Size = (Volume sold / Market share) x 100

Market Growth

  • Market growth measures the increase of market size over a period, indicating future opportunities.
  • Market growth is calculated as: Market Growth = ((New Market Size - Old Market Size) / Old Market Size) x 100

Market Share

  • Market share is the percentage of total market sales attributed to a specific business and is calculated as: Market Share = (Business Sales / Total Market Sales) x 100
