Once your strategic goals are in place, the next step is figuring out how to achieve them. At any given moment, your company is likely to have a plethora of goals. These goals will in turn be achieved by a variety of means. Lets say one goal is to decrease payments outstanding. Maybe another goal is to increase your inventory turnover ratio. To achieve this goal you might reduce raw materials levels from two months to one.

Those changes do not deal with marketing specifically, although payment terms are certainly part of your marketing mix. Marketing is generally one of those areas of your business where the goals you have set must be achieved through direct interaction with your customers. If you want to increase the frequency of purchases by your current customers, you will design a marketing plan to accomplish that. If your goal is to expand the target market to non-traditional consumers, you would design a marketing plan to do that as well.

Whatever your goal is, if it has to do with your customers, it is a part of marketing. Marketing does not mean advertising. Companies frequently make the mistake of confusing the two. While advertising is certainly a component of a most marketing plans, it is merely one arrow in the marketing quiver.
