Creating an STP is the second main component in creating a good Marketing Plan. The STP follows logically from the 5Cs. Given the reality of the external environment, a company must look at the possible customers and find a way to identify those group most likely to purchase. If we don’t understand which customers are most likely to buyer our product, then…
1. we won’t be able to create the best product to meet their needs,
2. with the best pricing to meet their needs,
3. and have that product distributed through the right channels to meet their needs (Place).
4. We also won’t know how and where to send out our promotional messages.
