Establish Objectives
STAGE 1
PRODUCT MARKETING PLAN
Your company develops, launches and manages products to achieve certain business objectives. As you begin
the process of drafting your product marketing plan, you will need to identify these objectives or create some if
none exist. The ultimate use of these objectives is to determine whether a product is successful.
As you identify or develop your product’s objectives, make sure they are consistent with
corporate strategy and vision, appropriate for where the product is in its lifecycle,
and complementary to the positioning strategy for the product.
STEP 1: Set Your Product Objectives
7PRODUCT MARKETING PLAN
Introduction
Establish
Objectives
1
Revenue – achieving predetermined levels of sales
Market share – to grow your share of the market, often by
taking it from a specific competitor
Other – profit, initial orders, perception of market leadership
or other goals can exist for a product
Set Your Product Objectives
STEP 1
Action Item
Begin this step by asking whether there is a vision for how this
product should contribute to the success of the business. If a
product was developed with a specific mission in mind, under-
stand that mission and set your objectives accordingly.
Typical product marketing goals are listed below. Observe that
some of these objectives conflict with each other:

Based on sales projections, how soon will you reach Break
Even? Use the Break Even Analysis Tool to help deter-
mine this.

the Product Profitability Analysis Tool to help determine
this. What discounts, rebates, coupons, or special pricing will

Proposition: invites action on the part of the customer in
favor of your product
Draft Your Unique Selling Proposition
Action Item
Use the Unique Selling Proposition Worksheet to craft your
product’s Unique Selling Proposition (USP).
Your USP should reflect your positioning (Step 1) and should answer
the customer’s question, “Why should I buy from you?”

door in 30 minutes or less – or it’s free.”

PRODUCT MARKETING PLAN
Is the market for your product substantial, and against whom will you compete?
The steps in this stage will have you consider your market, your customer, market size,
purchase process, access, and priority.
STEP 1: Identify Market Segments
STEP 2: Profile the Buyer
STEP 3: Analyze the Purchase Process
STEP 4: Ensure Access to Customers
STEP 5: Validate Your Market Position

STEP 1 STEP 2
Action Item Action Item
Use the Customer Profile Template to describe the buyer
for your product.
Why segment the market?
1. Few companies have the resources to vigorously pursue all
markets for their products.
2. Segmentation leads you to the market niche that represents
the best opportunity.
3. You can fully commit to owning the top priority segment and
more easily say “no” to distractions.
It is typically more useful to define and describe your target
market segments more narrowly than broadly. At the conclusion
of this step, you will have defined your segments and estimated
the Total Available Market for your product.
Create Customer Profiles based on market research data, not intu-
ition. Each of the following types of buyer should have a profile:

customers in your target segment(s):
1. What types of media do they consume?
2. What are their trusted sources of information?
3. What professional associations do they belong to?
4. What types of promotions have been effective?

STEP 5
Action Item
Based on the completion of the first three stages of this
playbook, does the market position you defined using the
Product Positioning Worksheet (Stage 2, Step 1) still make
sense? If not, refine your positioning now.
Consider the following questions as you validate your positioning
work:
1. Is the differentiation identified in Stage 2 substantial and capable
of providing a sustainable competitive advantage?
2. Is the target market segment identified in Stage 3 still valid?
3. Is your market position defined narrowly enough that only your
product can occupy it, at least initially?
4. Have you tested your market position with an external audience,
ideally with your target segment? (If you are considering the use
of a focus group, read our Focus Group Guide)

indirect competitors, and substitutes. In addition to knowing who they are, you will compare:
features, function, price and quality, advantages and disadvantages.
The goal of this stage is to know where each competitor is vulnerable
and to exploit that in your product marketing plan.

to do them all well.

What type of launch is appropriate?
For a new product, a formal product launch process is recommended.
For an existing product with significant new functionality, a formal product launch process also is
recommended.
For an existing product with minor enhancements, a product announcement is probably adequate.
A formal launch process often takes months to plan and execute properly.
Leave yourself plenty of time to do a launch well.
