The next component of the marketing plan is the SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) which utilizes the information gathered in environmental analysis.

The marketing objectives section of the marketing plan states what a company wants to accomplish through marketing activities, using the SWOT analysis as a guide of where the firm stands in the market.

The marketing strategies component outlines how the firm plans to achieve its marketing objectives and discusses the company's target market selection(s) and marketing mix.

The marketing implementation component of the plan outlines how marketing strategies will be executed.

The performance evaluation establishes the standards for how results will be measured and evaluated, and what actions the company should take to reduce the differences between the planned and actual performance.
