Directions

• This writing assignment closes the loop on strategic marketing planning in that it identifies the types of marketing strategies the company might employ to market its offering through the value chain prior to its final customer.   Also, strategic planning is useless unless there are reliable and useful sources of inputs and a way to organize the data to be used in the planning process decision making; and metrics need to be in place to measure how successful (or not so successful) the strategies to reach marketing objectives have been.  Strategic marketing planning then becomes an ongoing process of measuring and adjusting to new information and current conditions.

• Many of your responses to these questions will be your best educated and informed (as much as possible) information on your product or service offering’s company.  Where concrete information is not obtainable, you should use your judgment and to describe why you made your judgment call.

• Prepare your assignment beginning with a title page to include your name, your product (Samsung Galazy) and your target market.  Then respond to each of the following four questions in order and identify the number of each response.  There is no need to repeat question.

1. B2B marketing.  Consider your product or service offering.  Based on the categories of B2B markets, name at least two of the B2B markets your company may be a target market for another company.  Why?
