THE MARE MODEL Best Practices for Addressing the Marketing Success Factors (MSFs)
BEST PRACTICES AND MSFs • Purpose of the Section • Identify a “menu of actions” for how to pursue the opportunity. • Identify the key actions (marketing success factors) needed to create competitive advantage. • Benchmark the marketing success factors using companies both inside and outside the industry.
BEST PRACTICES AND MSFs Basic Logic Before trying to figure out what I should do, it would be useful to know what has worked for others. If I understand what has created success for others, I can copy or adapt what they do, and it should be successful for me. Maybe I can learn about new ways to approach the market by looking outside my industry.
BEST PRACTICES AND MSFs Component Steps Identify the marketing-related marketing success factors (MSFs). Identify alternative ways for achieving each marketing success factor. Evaluate the effectiveness of the alternative actions.
