Organizational success depends on efficient performance in a variety of areas and functions. Marketing is undoubtedly one of the most significant. It showcases a firm’s products and services and aims to develop positive perceptions toward them in consumers’ minds. Development and implementation of effective marketing strategies is therefore imperative. Such strategies must address the needs and requirements of target markets, ensure that any strategy is appropriate to the market environment where it is utilized and play to the strengths of the company’s resources and competences.
