One of the most relevant parts of any strategic document is the definition of the
baseline situation of the organization and its environment.
This analysis allows for the development of an action plan that is reality based
and shall therefore minimize the risks in the development of a strategy.
The starting point of any situational analysis is to define the mission, vision and
values of the organisation. This definition helps guide any marketing action.
Mission
The mission defines the chore of the company, its essence. This definition usually
includes the work or activity of the organization, reference to its audience,
business models and the singularity or differential factor of the organization. The
mission responds to questions such as who am I?, where do I come from?, what
do I do?, whom do I address?, what is my field of operations? and what is my
competitive edge?
Vision & Values
The vision must describe the future goals of the organization in a short and
concise way. These goals must be realistic and achievable in order to motivate all
stakeholders in their achievement. The organization's vision answers questions
such as where am I going to?, what do I long to be? and where do I want to be?
The values are the principles that guide the business culture and that the
organization—must—fulfil in all its activities.

suppliers), as well as the general environment, (PEST)
Both analyses lead to a SWOT matrix
An E-marketing plan, apart from being a study of the organization and its
environment, must analyze its online presence and position. This study shall help
determine a concrete digital strategy and shall help compare its results with the
initial situation.
In this sense, the following must be developed
The goals must also be flexible to adapt to the changes in the company and Web
evolution and reached through a consensus.
In an e-marketing plan, the most usual types of goals are as follows:
Scope goals.
Activity goals.
Conversion goals.
Loyalty goals.
Once these goals are set, they must be implemented through key performance
indicators. These indicators enable measurement and monitoring.
