To increase sales, companies must adapt to new circumstances and changes brought about by shifts in customer habits and consumption patterns. A marketing plan, aligned with the ISO 9001 standard, is the tool that helps achieve this, as it enables companies to identify new business opportunities in response to customers’ evolving needs and expectations.
Marketing plan to boost sales and comply with ISO 9001
The marketing plan is a key tool enabling management to make strategic decisions regarding sales and marketing activities, with a clear objective: to increase sales and improve profitability.
Within the framework of ISO 9001, the marketing plan must be aligned with the business strategy, processes and continuous improvement.
Marketing objectives in the marketing plan
The plan must set out clear, measurable objectives that are aligned with the ISO 9001 quality management system, including:
- Qualitative objectives. These rely heavily on digital marketing, social media and corporate communications. They relate to how the company is perceived in the market:
- Brand awareness and positioning
- Corporate image and reputation.
- Perception of quality.
- Customer satisfaction and loyalty.
- Sales and profitability objectives. Directly focused on financial results:
- Increase in turnover and revenue.
- Increase in units sold.
- Improvement in market share.
- Commercial profitability per customer or product
- Strategic objectives. Integrated within the Balanced Scorecard, aligning:
- Commercial strategy.
- Internal processes.
- Quality indicators and process performance indicators.
- Continuous improvement.
Sales strategies to boost sales
The marketing plan must set out how the objectives will be achieved, establishing clear and consistent business strategies. The most common are:
- Segmentation strategy. This enables the identification of the priority target audience, optimising sales and marketing resources.
- Positioning strategy. This defines the image the company wishes to project in relation to its competitors. It involves answering a key question: Why should our customers choose us over the competition?
🏷️ Product and brand strategies
These align the value proposition with market needs and quality requirements.
💶 Pricing, distribution and communication strategies
These drive competitiveness and ensure consistency in the commercial message across all channels.
Action plan for the marketing strategy
The marketing plan must be translated into an action plan, setting out:
Sales and marketing activities
Channels and media to be used
Responsible parties and deadlines
Monitoring and control indicators
All of this with the ultimate aim of increasing sales, improving results and strengthening customer confidence.
