Market Planning Services

Market Planning is the process through which a business selects target customers, assesses the needs or wants of these customers and manages its resources to satisfy its target customers' needs or wants.

It includes a number of other sub-processes:

• Defining the business you're in
• Analyzing market conditions
• Defining the customer set and the classes of wants or needs to be addressed
• Segmenting the customer set
• Selecting certain segments and deselecting other segments
• Assessment of the company's capabilities vis-à-vis competition for the selected segments
• Defining offerings to satisfy the selected segments buyers' needs or wants
• Identifying resources needed to deliver these offerings
