TAILIEUCHUNG - Developing a Strategic Marketing Plan for Horticultural Firms

A marketing plan is essential for every horticultural business and for efficient and effective marketing of any horticultural product or service. A marketing plan serves as a road map. It establishes objectives, recommended actions, and timing for achieving the objectives. An understanding of the marketing planning process is also a valuable aid in helping managers organize their thinking about the marketing process and the various methods and procedures used. A strategic marketing plan takes into account the market environment facing the business (. trends, competitive environment, regulatory issues, technological advancements, etc.) Thus, the emphasis is not only on projections but also on an in-depth understanding of the market. | January 2000 EB 2000-01 Developing a Strategic Marketing Plan for Horticultural Firms Gerald B.
