Introduction
In the k-12 curriculum, senior high school students will study general subjects regardless
of their chosen career track or learning strand. This is similar to the general education subject
that college students usually take on their first or second year of college. In senior high school,
every academic track has their specialized subjects. These are the subjects that are unique to the
career track or learning strand that the student chose, similar to the major subject that colleges
have. Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) is one of the given strands that a student
can take. K-12 is also an advance learning for students to be more prepared in college. Being
ABM students, you must open your mind about business because it is also one of the specialized
subjects you will take. In business you must think of a way in making your work stand out,
thinking of a way that will attract your customers, a marketing strategy. It is important for a
business to set marketing objectives because managers can then have targets for their work. And
it can done using marketing strategies, because through marketing strategy they can measure
more effectively the success or failure of their marketing strategies to achieve these objectives.
There are numerous marketing strategies but the researchers selected eight marketing strategies
that the entrepreneur can use in order to come up with a smart and unique plan. The first one is
the paid advertising which includes multiple approaches for marketing and traditional approach
like TVCs and print media advertising. Second is the Cause marketing which links the services
and products of a company to a social cause or issue. Third is the Relationship and this type of
marketing is basically focused on customer building. Fourth is the Undercover marketing, this
type of marketing strategy focused on marketing products while customers remain unaware of
the marketing strategy. Fifth is the Word of mouth, it is totally relies on what impression you
leave on people. Sixth is the Internet marketing also known as cloud marketing and it usually
happens over the Internet. Seventh is the Transactional marketing, sales is particularly the most
challenging work because even for the largest retailer, selling is always tough especially when
there are high volume targets. And the last one is the Diversity marketing which caters diverse
audience by customizing and integrating different marketing strategies. In this generation, as a
business owner, marketing strategies are very important because having it is like having a road

Alfred
Oxen Feldt (1958, p. 267) defined marketing strategy in two parts: “(1) definition of target
markets and (2) the composition of a marketing mix.” Oxenfeldt worked with Alderson’s
consulting firm and was heavily influenced by him. These two parts of a marketing strategy are
fundamental because customer targets represent the demand side of the market (see Robinson,
1933) on one hand, and the marketing mix represents the supply side of the market (see
Chamberlin, 1933) on the other. Over the decades, subsequent marketing thinkers have
continually embraced this two-part definition (McCarthy, 1960; Kotler, 1967; Enis, 1974; Lazer
and Culley, 1983; Cravens, 1987; Czepiel, 1992; Kerin and Peterson, 1993; Boone and Kurtz,
1998; Kotler and Keller, 2009, etc.), and there are no apparent challenges or disagreements with
it in the marketing literature.

According to Kotler and Armstrong (2004), marketing is a societal and managerial
process by which individuals and groups obtain what they need and want through creating and
exchanging products and values with others. Marketing is all about satisfying the needs and
wants of the people. Marketing management, on the other hand, is the process of satisfying
product demand and building profitable relationship with the market by providing them with
products with superior value and satisfaction. We need marketing strategies to fulfill this, if the
firms want to survive in the competitive world of business. (Marketing Strategies of Selected
Business Establishments in the City of Tarlac)

On the other hand in accordance to the study of Collins Nwakanma Amaze entitled “An
Analysis of Marketing Strategies of an Integrated Facility Services Company” Many service
companies in the world engage in providing more than one service to its customers. The
companies identify gaps, which must be filled in order to meet customers’ needs and they
endeavor to fill these gaps by offering a range of services to them. They identify weakness in the
market segment that are emerging, neglected or poorly served by competitors after which they
select a strategy using the marketing mix as a resource. Any organization that wants to be
successful in doing business needs to concentrate its resources on the greatest opportunities to
increase sales and achieve a sustainable competitive advantage. This is true of service
companies. Marketing strategy therefore, is a long-term response to the changing environment
and involves fundamental decisions about how to match resources to that changing environment.
Although strategies provide a firm with a plan of action, the struggle does not end there.
A constant strife to implement the best strategy available, tweak it or integrate two or more
strategies together,are some of the things that need to be done. For all this to be viable the firm
needs to have a dedicated working unit. The marketers, the strategy makers as well as the
manager, before implementing or introducing new methods/strategies, need to remember what is
truly important for the long term benefit of the firm; the idea and needs of their customers.
Internal marketing links company and employees. However it is also the most important part for
a service company. In addition, the authors mentioned that from a market approach to a
relationship approach is in accord with trend, moreover service company would be obliged to
massively invest in employee performance and quality, therefore it has a significant meaning for
the potential success of the company which is based on the - 12 - cornerstones in people’s
relations (Donaldsson & O’Toole, 2007, p.115) .For instance, Internal marketing is focused on
how to train staffs to engage in and innovate their services so that the employees can make
contacts with people and customers efficiently. In connection with internal marketing, it is
absolutely necessary for the employees to work hard in efforts to reach top satisfaction of the
customers. There is no doubt that the keynote of internal marketing is to make the company form
the customer-oriented conception so as to provide outstanding services for the customers.

External Marketing links companies and their customers. Press Releases, Media Outreach, Trade
Shows, and User Events may be some of the activities that have been a part of annual marketing
mix. As Kotler, Wong, Saunders and Armstrong (2005) mentioned before, External marketing is
more crucial for the firm to send and receive the clear and correct signals from their customers.
Keller (2008) found that interactive marketing is exorbitant to deal with personal contact and
commit itself to the tasks that satisfy peculiar customers' requirements. In a word, Interactive
Marketing concentrates on direct interaction with potential buyers or purchasers via personal
activities of selling. For example, if a customer could receive extraordinary goods, especially the
product is tailor-made, he or she will feel satisfied during the whole process of purchase. Of
course, cost is a factor that firms have to take into account.
Theoretical Framework
“Polygraphy and Informatics” (Kotler, Ph., Armstrong, G., Saunders, J., Wrong, V., 2003).
According to Kotler (2003) marketing strategy is marketing logic according to which the
business unit is marketing. Marketing strategy focuses on the target customers. The company
chooses a market, divide it into segments, select the most viable ones and consolidates its forces
in the service segment. The company creates a marketing mix, using the tools at its disposal:
product, price, distribution, sales support. In order to establish the best marketing plans and
carries them out. It carries out these activities by monitoring the environment and adapting to it.
is very high over all business strategy, Because of control of key marketing relationship with
organizations outside of the support function it delivery goods to the market and sales. The
overall (corporate and marketing) action program , including all elements of marketing complex
in order to clarify undertaking to set goals and objectives. This is a logical continuation of the
business plan that combines a number of interrelated decisions.
Marketing strategy has five elements it deals with where the organization plans to be active, how
it will get there, how it will succeed in the market place, what the speed and sequence of moves
will be and how the organization will obtain profits. The real lesson of a strategic marketing
philosophy is that better performing organizations recognize the basic and enduring nature of the
customer needs they are attempting to satisfy.
According to Liu Fang, Yan Jian-ren (2007) discusses the relationship of product value
and marketing strategy for example the noodle business: business marketing strategy for
achieving and enhancing product value is essential. They recognize the marketing strategies can
enhance product value (focusing on benefits), but how to upgrade are not theoretical arguments
and empirical analysis. Although some scholars have tried to study the relationship between
marketing strategy and value, but unfortunately, the existing value is mainly the demand value of
benefit / cost. The outbreak of financial crisis makes the social transformation, people from the
industrial society into the Commercial society, thus much-needed depth to excavate value,
restoring the true colors of the value. This study has an important guiding significance to the
investor of the entire value market.
