What is Marketing Strategy?
Put simply, it’s an overarching, intelligent and comprehensive plan designed to sell and promote your particular product or service. Done well, it will define your value proposition, identify your key markets and set measurable goals that will guide your future decisions.
In my experience, a business can sometimes get so carried away in the tactics of marketing that they lose sight of the bigger picture. A Marketing Strategy specifically tailored to your business will show you how to allocate resources wisely, make every tactic effective and give you and your team a clear roadmap to follow.
How a Marketing Strategy can improve your results
- Have a defined plan the whole business can follow
- Pinpoint your key markets
- Set consistent, realistic and measurable goals
- Make decisions on how those goals will be met
- Allocate resources wisely to save time, effort and money
- Measure the success of your campaigns.

Key components of a Marketing Strategy
No two Marketing Strategies are identical, but they should include:
- Understanding the current situation of your business
- Identifying who your ideal customers are (and the best way to acquire them!)
- Setting measurable goals
- Establishing clear, achievable objectives to track your progress and success.
FAQs
Why is a Marketing Strategy important for my business?
Your Marketing Strategy provides a roadmap. It ensures consistency across all channels and helps you make decisions on how to allocate resources wisely, set achievable measurable goals and accurately assess the success of your campaigns.
How often should I update my Marketing Strategy?
Your Marketing Strategy should be a dynamic document (not printed off to gather dust on a shelf!). It needs to evolve with your business and current marketing conditions, so I recommend that you update it at least annually (and more frequently if there are significant changes to your industry, target markets or business goals). Regular updates will ensure that your strategy remains relevant and effective.
How does a Marketing Strategy differ from Marketing Tactics?
Think of your Marketing Strategy as an overarching plan. Your marketing tactics are the specific actions and tools you use to execute your strategy. However, without a strong Marketing Strategy, tactics such as advertising, social media posts and email campaigns can become disjointed and less effective.
