The methodology to develop a Marketing Plan has evolved through 25 years of analyzing niche market segments for clients in manufacturing of raw materials, components, ingredients and finished products.

The development of the plan involves input from all management areas.  This process focuses on six categories and fourteen steps.  The categories are;

1. Observation

2. Objectives

3. Rank

4. Strategy

5. Tasks

6. Evaluation

A Market Research initiative can be pursued with or without the development of a Marketing Plan.  Research objectives may include a comprehensive understanding of the markets in which you compete, the position of your products/services in those markets and the position of these products/services of your major competitors.

Keeping your pulse on customers and prospects requires a best practice approach with these four categories and eighteen subheadings:

• Definition of Data

• Planning

• Building

• Current & Future Uses
