The marketing plan document outlines the process for defining and achieving marketing goals. It is divided into three phases: planning, implementation, and control. In the planning phase, the mission is defined using a SWOT analysis to evaluate strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. In the implementation phase, the STP process of segmentation, targeting, and positioning is used to identify opportunities within the marketing mix of the four P's (product, price, place, promotion). In the control phase, performance is evaluated using metrics to determine if the strategy needs correcting in order to meet goals.
