Definition
Marketing strategy development is the stage of the new-product development process in which a three-part marketing strategy plan is developed:
- Define product position, including target market size, structure, and purchasing behavior. Identify initial sales goals in terms of market share and profits.
- Specify year-one price and distribution strategy, and marketing budget.
- Describe ongoing marketing-mix strategy and future sales and profits.[1]
