CONTENT:
Marketing strategy is about how a firm allocates its marketing resources to achieve its objectives and goals in a chosen target market segment. The most controllable marketing resources available to a firm have been defined as the classic 4P’s: Product, Price, Place (distribution), and Promotion (traditional and digital marketing communication). Taken together they represent a set of decisions that are central to marketing and business plans. In this course module, each of these decisions will be defined and articulated, especially to highlight the way in which target segment customer needs will be met. This will also include a brief introduction to basic marketing metrics to assess customer response to the 4P’s. The module includes short readings and a case study to practice your understanding, insights, and implementation of the 4P’s.
