Marketing plan


In today's very competitive marketplace a strategy that insures a consistent approach to offering your product or service in a way that will outsell the competition is critical. However, in concert with defining the marketing strategy you must also have a well defined methodology for the day to day process of implementing it. It is of little value to have a strategy if you lack either the resources or the expertise to implement it.

In the process of creating a marketing strategy you must consider many factors. Of those many factors, some are more important than others. Because each strategy must address some unique considerations, it is not reasonable to identify 'every' important factor at a generic level. However, many are common to all marketing strategies.

Marketing strategies and paradigms


It originated in consumer markets where relatively low-valued products were sold to mass markets using mass media. Marketing theory held that the first step was to determine customer needs, then next, produce a product or service that will satisfy these needs. The underlying philosophy was that all the firm's strategic decisions were driven by customer expectations. This core idea has gone though many incarnations in the intervening decades, and gone under various names including: marketing orientation, customer driven, the marketing philosophy, customer intimacy, customer focus, and market driven.

Customer Paradigm Spanish is a prominent language services company providing professional bilingual English-Spanish business services for clients seeking to gain access and develop a lasting presence in the burgeoning Latin-American internet consumer marketplace. We utilize our native-level knowledge of the Spanish language and the many regional and cultural differences in the Latin-American community to develop impacting Spanish website copy, landing pages and Spanish Internet marketing strategies that resonate with the target market and impact the bottom line.

There was a group of theorists that felt this gradual evolution was unsatisfactory. They saw marketing, not as a continuously evolving discipline, but as an established discipline ripe for a paradigm shift. They felt that a radical new perspective was required. These theorists are typically associated with either relationship marketing, customer experience management, or network marketing. Relationship marketers, for example, feel that the shift from single transaction marketing to long-term relationship marketing will require a complete revamping of the discipline. Customer experience marketers feel that the relationship marketers started in the right direction but were derailed by their dependence on customer relationship management software, which caused them to lose focus of the individual customer's experience of the service encounter. Network marketers stress the interconnectedness of market actors and transactions and can be seen as the application of systems thinking to marketing.

Customer Paradigm Spanish provides comprehensive business solutions to businesses and organizations with business issues and challenges that require more than standard language skills and Spanish Internet marketing knowledge. Our wide range of solution offerings can consist of developing multi-discipline teams of business and/or marketing professionals combined with skilled linguists to develop an international presence in the Hispanic internet consumer marketplace or developing a Spanish landing page and PPC advertising campaign on the fly. No matter what the objective, Customer Paradigm Spanish has a solution to your Spanish Internet marketing needs.

Marketing Fundamentals


Many proven marketing processes, like lead generation, branding, PR, and product innovation, are increasingly hard to achieve with any degree of predictability - both in terms of measurable results as well as costs.

The Marketing Fundamentals Unit develops a basic knowledge and understanding of marketing, marketing process and the marketing mix. It aims to provide participants with a framework on which to build marketing knowledge and skills through the units of this level, through units at later levels and in the workplace. Students will not be expected to have any prior knowledge or experience in a marketing role.

The reason for this is that some of the context in which we market products and services has gone through a fundamental transformation, enabled by a participatory technology infrastructure. But unlike what some marketing pundits are claiming - not all the marketing fundamentals have changed. In fact there may be more fundamentals that remained the same than those that changed.

In recent years, the technical, engineering, and industrial communities have migrated to the Internet to search for components and services, and to locate manufacturers, distributors, and service companies. New and innovative online marketing tactics help companies build their brand and generate leads online. Some of the leads are “hot” and ready to buy, while others are long term and need nurturing. To turn these leads into customers, marketing and sales teams must have dedicated and collaborative lead management practices.
