key elements in the marketing strategy. With all this information the company addresses these
needs fully thoroughly and successfully than competition. One of these businesses cannot
meet all these needs for all the persons. So, all must analyze the market to determine how one
will focus on each individual needs with the all target market.
Brand identity:
Each and every businesses needs to identify that there is a part of focused marketing
strategy. This brand has an overall proposed message of the company of its products and the
services. In this, which it describes what the customers and other should think and how they
feel whenever they encounter to the company or its products and the services.

These are the process of marketing strategies that are deliberately in the series of the steps
which will help you to identify and they need to reach their goals. Even, while in the
discovering, what are the customer wants and the needs that will develop products and
they meet in the business needs. These are the steps for the successful marketing
strategies.

Marketing strategies can give our marketing efforts and the campaigns which will focus.
As an alternative of hoping the customers they find their way to small business and they do

is into ocean of customers to controllable segments. The segments can be addressed
individually which is to understand the marketing message is in attractive to each one. This

Market Identification:
Market identification which means, it represents one of the key objectives or the element
of the marketing strategies. In order to marketing strategy which is to serve the normal
business goals to increase the profits. It is the account for demographic which represents the
viable customers. The marketing business which provides the high volume water filtration
equipment’s, for example a business which is likely to focus on the marketing efforts on the
large manufacturing and the industrial concerns which requires the high volume of filtered
water such, as food production.
Getting stuck:
Major downside for the marketing strategy is the dependence which cause for the small
businesses. When, small business choses its marketing strategy for one year and it should be
followed throughout the end where there is a no matter of occurring any consequences. When
market changes or the marketing strategy fails the amount of resources and the effort which
we have put into for the development and for the distribution are too great to allow the
alterations and getting something in the right position. One of the market dimensional
approaches is to marketing not even once with a good idea but, in some of the cases even
multi faced campaigns which fall victim to much similarly between the initiatives and it focus
on the single targeted market.
Marketing mix:
In the marketing strategy, marketing mix is one of the main objectives which will
determine in the business. Marketing mix has a four p’s which consists of product, price,
place and promotion. These four p’s is very important in the business factors. The factors
which line up with the typical ideas of what marketing will do or does. Such as advertisements
and public relations while other factors cannot do, Such as pricing strategy and inventory
management. In marketing mix which we will decide and helps the business and it clarifies
the issues such as how the customers get to know about the product and the services and how
much the business can certainly expect to make the profit
Expense:
In the marketing strategies expense is one of the important objective. The cost involved
with some of the marketing strategies which places them out to reach for some of the small
businesses. These small businesses are not able to collect data. Purchase information and thry
produce right marketing campaigns to address each segment of the business.
Positioning:
Positioning is a middle ground between a business objective in the market and it is the
one of the important objective of the marketing strategies. But, it has the implications for the
marketing and in the business. It is the spirit of positioning which boils down the wants of
the business to the customers to recognize its products and the services. When they are similar
in some of the respects they, do not do mistake in the positioning for the branding. In this
branding deals with the visuals, emotional response and the identification with the culture
and they built around the company. Rather, than specific in the perceptions about the products
and the services.

Review of literature and research designs
Review of literature:
According to ‘kotler’ the selection of the targeted markets and the marketing mix, the marketing
expenditures and the levels. The marketing strategy is one of the way in which, all the marketing
functions categorizes the accomplishments or the activities to complete the profitable growth in
the sales in the marketing mix levels. Marketing strategy is mainly specified by objectives of the
marketing. The customers and the reasonable or the competitive perceptions mad the product
momentum that is extrapolation of the earlier performance to the upcoming business, from the
basis of the marketing strategies. Marketing strategy which is developed by the business element
of the level, with in the given level of the environment the marketing strategy which deals,
especially with the relationship of the three focused well known strategic of three c’s the
customer and the corporation and the competition. The three good marketing strategy which s
will be categorized by the. a. A suitable match between the corporate strong point and the needs
of market. b. A larger performance which is relatively to competitions. c. a good marketing
strategy which, clears the market definitions and which is the key success for the business.
A marketing strategy may be defined as the plan to achieve the organization objectives which follows
the
• Specifying what the resources are should be allocated to the marketing.
• Specifying what are the resources should be used to take an advantage of the
opportunities in which they are expected to arise in the future terms, in this the
marketing strategies which will consists of the following points

b. Planning the products in which they will satisfy the needs in the market.
c. Organizing the marketing resources which as to match.
Products of the customers in which they are mostly effective and efficiently which in the way
it is possible, that is so as to max the customers satisfaction and the companies profit and the
sales revenue which at the same time. The marketing strategy is made with the more than a
few interconnected elements. The first and the foremost important section is market selection.
[brown a sommers, and E 192] which is straightly related to the chose of the market which is
to be served. The product planning which includes the organization sales, the character of the
product line, the design of the individual which offers in the line. One of the element is the
distribution structure, the retailer and the wholesale channels which are the products move to
people that are eventually to buy it and they use it.
Here the overall communication strategy employs the advertisements to tell to the potential
customers about the products through the radio, direct mails, television, and the public print.
Personal selling to set up a sales force to call on the possible customers they urges them to
buy and they take the orders. Finally the pricing is an important component of the marketing
program. It is one of the most focused marketing elements in creation of the values for the
shareholders[Doyle, 2000]. The organization should set the product prices which are in the
different classes of the customers which they have to pay and they determine the boundaries
and the commissions to compensate the agents, retailers and the wholesalers for moving the
products to the ultimate customers. The approach level is one which is for the strategic
decisions making, it is the function of the number of the products in the market in which the
organization which operates the degree of activities between the products market which are
interrelated. The extreme strategic decision making which can be restricted to high levels
which the organization operates in the few inters related products markets. In one of the
situation there was a sustainable intersection between the marketing strategy and the
corporates [D Sudharsan 1995]. One of the case the marketing manager they have to
delimitate to the relevant market. To develop the market segmentation, which have to
estimate the segments, which are size, growth of the demand, and to develop the competition
based analysis in the competitive position. The important strategic marketing is to follow the
deep internal analysis in the order to which to see the tangible and intangible factors and the
resources [Accountsnts, McShane P and Accounts 1988]. The section which covers the
movements to take into the accounts which will analyses the strategic marketing. It is really
very much important to follow the key aspects and the elements of which are expressed like
having a understandings about the market and the environment
[Drummond Ensor, Graeme, john and marketing 2001]. Here, both the resources are very
much important marketing strategies which take into the account. Some of the aspects, which
are related to appraising the importance of knowledgeable capital. The characteristic which
measurements the skills and the company which sequences the crucial in the order to
determine the forthcoming strengths [Praha lad et 2004] and the weaknesses and which they
influence on the forthcoming business achievements [kotler] the preparation or the
formulation of the purposes and the strategies which are oriented to the market which are also
very much important and they help to describe the competitive advantages.
The factors of the business, in the marketing strategies in which the terms of the elements that
must be defined as an attempt by the corporates to the differentiates the positives from the
competitors which will be using the relation the corporate strength to be the better satisfy the
content of customer needs and the wants which are given in the environmental setting. Based,
on the elements of the three strategic of 3c’s which are the formation of the marketing
strategies that requires the four decisions.
Where they compete in one or two various segments.
How they compete i,e the requires the means of the challenging.
When they compete that is when they require the timing of the market entry.
In this strategic role the market focuses on the business which intention the market, which
means the timings that, realizes the attentions. The one of the strategic role of the marketing
is to quit the different marketing management, which they deals with the developing,
directing programs and the implementing which is to accomplish the designated intentions.
