A good strategy provides a clear roadmap, consisting of a set of guiding principles or rules, that defines the actions people in the business should take (and not take) and the things they should prioritise (and not prioritise) to achieve desired goals. Without a researched and well thought through marketing strategy and plan, your marketing efforts could be haphazard and ineffectual.
In this session, we’ll find out how to get a detailed understanding of the market you are doing business in, and how to use that knowledge to inform your business decisions and actions.
