I found the main goal of the article to explain the concept of marketing. As the author implies, the concept of the marketing mix is a great tool to give an answer to the question “what is marketing”. It is a great introduction of the elements of marketing as a whole, with visual charts that sum the different marketing forces. Marketing is not about doing or not doing, its mainly about doing the right things for your operation with consideration of the resources that are available. This also sheds light over the fact that managing functions of marketing must be oriented to the market and with consideration of the marketing changes make a marketing mix that fits the resources of the firm.

Marketing strategy is defined as the results of a thorough market analysis, which combines all of a firm’s or company’s goals into one comprehensive plan. An effective marketing strategy must be drawn from the fundamental research of the markets it resides in; focusing on the correct product mix in order to fully potentially profit at the highest possibility.

Strategic Marketing Process The purpose of this paper is to briefly explore the strategic marketing process, specifically the key phases of planning, implementation, and control. In addition, the application of mixed marketing to create a market segments as well as customer loyalty is equally explored. Several relevant scholarly sources were identified to provide research and information about the strategic marketing process and its evolutionary development from the industrial to the information technological age.

All levels of an organization, including functional areas can have a strategy for achieving its specific goals and objectives (Proctor, 2000).
