Unit 2: The marketing plan 1: audit and objectives
The marketing plan
In Units 2 and 3, you will look at a case study that shows all of the stages in the development of the
marketing plan
The audit: PESTEL
The purpose of an audit is to help an organisation answer the question ‘Where are we now?’, while
also identifying the internal and external factors which will have an impact on the organisation’s
future plans. A good audit should help an organisation clarify its objectives and develop its strategy.
The first stage of the marketing audit process is the external analysis which we can group under 5
broad headings:
1. Political: How stable is the government/ political situation?
2. Economic: What is the general economic forecast? What is happening to interest rates,
unemployment, GDP etc.
3. Sociological: Do people have strong or weak views on: green issues, gender issues etc.
4. Technological: What opportunities does technology offer in terms of: new products,
distribution etc.
5. Environmental: How worried are people on environmental issues?
6. Legal: Are we at risk from legal action?
Certain verb tenses are often used in PESTEL analyses:
A future certainty: will (won’t) + VERB
A future event that is very likely but not certain: will probably (not) + VERB
A future possibility: may (not) + VERB
Something that we imagine to be the result/ consequence of another event: would (wouldn’t) +
VERB
A past event which has an important result/ consequence for now: have/has (haven’t/hasn’t) + PAST
PARTICIPLE
A current trend: is/are (isn’t/ aren’t) + PAST PARTICIPLE
The audit: SWOT and the Five Forces
Suppliers+ leveranciers
Few= weinig
