• Category Analysis and Forecast Trends
• Sales Analysis
• 3 C Analysis
• Planning Assumptions
• Summary (Problems and Opportunities)
Marketing Plan – 14
Objectives
• “If you don’t know where you want to go, any road will take you there”
• Precise, with dates and numbers
• Sales, profits, share, etc.
• Measurable and achievable
• Subsequent strategy and tactics must demonstrate compliance with objectives
Marketing Plan – 15
Strategy and Tactics
• Strategy is means to accomplish goal, e.g., awareness goal will be met by advertising
• Tactics pertains to the implementation, e.g., media schedule, agency, message, etc.– how to, by whom, by when, with what
resources
Marketing Plan – 16
Monitors and Controls
• 74% of consumer product firms have explicit sales promotion tactics– Only 36% monitor
• 69% of industrial firms have explicit sales tactics– Only 46 % monitor
• Only 1 in 4 firms has a contingency plan– Both good and bad events (e.g., competitor merges or
leaves)– What ifs and appropriate trigger points

PharmaSim

production– Play against pc, not classmates

Marketing Plan – 27
PharmaSim Tips
• Please review tips on website (link from syllabus)
• Read pages 5-66 carefully. E.g., buried on page 66 is the statement that FC continue when product is dropped. Important, but easily missed. Other examples abound.
Marketing Plan – 28
Other PharmaSim Tips
• Think analytically• Sales = Share * Market Size
– Share = f (marketing $ and quality, value/price, synergies among marketing activities, fit with segments selected, positioning relative to competition)
– Size = f(population, needs, available product benefits, industry marketing $ and quality, product life cycle)
Marketing Plan – 29
More Tips
• Marketing $ can interact– Deals more effective with ads
• Stockpiling is possible• Understand the role of channel and how to motivate• Think about the ramifications of your strategies
– A leading brand (Allround) should never run comparison ads against a niche brand (Coughcure)
– Line extensions do not need the same marketing $ as new brands• Allocate marketing $ to area with highest returns• Key opportunity is chance to introduce new product into a market with a
real need (e.g., Allright Allergy).– Shift resources to new product
Marketing Plan – 30
One Last Tip
• Cost dynamics, margin management, value based pricing, and capacity utilization are essential to profitability.
Marketing Plan – 31

the first two parts• Note: marketing planning (although not handed in) should
occur each period of PharmaSim!
