Step 2: Creating a Customer-Driven Marketing Strategy
Once the needs are understood, it’s time to craft a strategy that resonates with the target audience. Creating a marketing strategy involves market segmentation, targeting, and positioning (STP). The STP model helps marketers decide which customers to target and how. The business must also decide which overarching concept will lead its marketing strategy. The five key concepts are as follows:
The production concept
The product concept
The selling concept
The marketing concept and
The social marketing concept

Step 3: Creating an Integrated Marketing Plan
With the strategy in place, it’s crucial to develop an integrated marketing plan that aligns with the brand’s objectives. We’ll explore the 4Ps of marketing—product, price, promotion, and place—and how they contribute to delivering superior value to customers.

Step 4: Fostering Long-Term Sustainable Customer Relationships
Building strong relationships with customers is essential for long-term success. We’ll delve into customer relationship management strategies aimed at increasing satisfaction, engagement, and loyalty.

Step 5: Capturing Value from Customers
Finally, businesses must capture the value they’ve created by fostering brand preference, loyalty, and market share. We’ll discuss how brands can monetize these relationships and ensure sustainable profitability.
