Taking the time to look critically at and understand competitive advertising and positioning strategies has been among the most effective ways to leverage means-end research into an effective communications strategy that builds on strength, stresses defensible points of distinction, and reframes the consumer decision-making process in a way that creates competitive advantage. Segmentation divides a heterogeneous marketplace into smaller and more manageable homogenous components. These smaller market segments can be targeted with more personally relevant positioning strategies that have greater appeal to individuals within the group (Reynolds & Olson 2001). Today's winning companies have been among the first to accentuate their distinctiveness by adopting customer-based marketing and positioning strategies. Such strategies help managers deal with their growing uncertainty regarding how to position a product and develop an action plan that will retain and cultivate established customers, and in some cases, attract whole new market segments (Reynolds & Olson 2001).



This approach to strategy is successful because it outlines the means whereby a close connection can be made between product qualities and the personal motives of customers (Reynolds & Olson 2001).

5. Corporate and international marketing strategies

Technologies and products have life cycles and so do markets and industries. There are different stages in the life cycle of markets and industries and these have important ramifications for marketing strategy. It is taken in conjunction with the number and strength of competitors that operate in a market or an industry at any one time in the life cycle. The need for new products and new product markets has an important influence on strategy formulation. This is because there is evidence to show that most products have life cycles and progress through recognized stages (Proctor 2000). Every stage in the life cycle brings with it environmental threats and opportunities that require changes to be made in marketing strategy and have implications for marketing planning. Marketing strategy is an essential input into the overall corporate strategy and usually determines the most important elements of that strategy. Typical approaches to the production of such marketing strategy, however, focus on the relatively short term (Proctor 2000). The corporate strategy of ABC food retailer concentrates on providing products in affordable prices; provide employment opportunities and providing good food product.
