Having a marketing plan helps businesses to focus on their current target market, as well as to identify any gaps in the market that could be opportunities for new markets. – Ability to measure progress. Marketing plans provide a tool against which a business can measure its progress in relation to its goals.

A solid marketing plan enables a business to show potential external financiers, with great confidence, that it is able to reach its planned goals. – New leads. Good marketing plans create new networking opportunities for businesses, thus enabling them to source new leads.

This is generally when you launch a new product. Initially this product will cost you more money than what it generates ▪ Cash cow: these are the successful “stars”. They are well- established. Makes money and is nearing their maturing phase. ▪ Problem children: small market share and require a lot of marketing just to stay at the same level of market share. The problem child can become a star but a lot of cash is needed. ▪ Dogs: low market share and market growth are poor. Cash flow of the products are limited. These are later sold or closed. Implementation The importance of implementation Drivers of strategy implementation – Organisational structure – Organisational leadership – The organisational culture – Managerial processes Implementation – Pg504 The next step is implementation This is one of the key routes to improved business performance. It is easy to develop and plan but implementation is difficult. Successful implementation depend on: formulation, communication, monitoring and management of the implementation process. Drivers of strategy Implementation: - Organisational structure - Organisational leadership - Organisational culture - Managerial processes 1. Organisational Culture ▪ When you decide on your marketing strategy, you have to make sure that your chain of command is set-up in such a way that it compliments the strategy. ▪ Example: you have decided that you want to enter new markets. – Then you should enable your marketing, R&D and sales people to work together and decide on markets to explore. ▪ Example you want to be more ecologically friendly and market the farm as such – You have to ensure that you employ engineers and specialists in the field. They then need to be able to make changes to products, the way products are produced and marketed. 2. Organisational leadership ▪ Leadership is an integral part of the implementation of strategies. ▪ It includes: – Delegation – Communication – Establishing corporate culture ▪ Delegation – To be able to make decisions on farm level. – Example: Westfalia have different farms in different locations and on each farm that manager must be able to make day-to-day decisions without having to first get approval from the main farm. ▪ 2. Communication ▪ Communication is vital and there should be systems and process in place to make sure that top management communicate to lower managers, employees on the same level communicate and then also different departments communicate. ▪ Examples to enable this: team meetings, monthly meetings with management and then once a term you sit in on the meetings with other departments and discuss important aspects ▪ 3.
