Show More Toggle Drawer Context Marketing plays an important role in business by making sure that people know about the products or services that a business offers. Marketing is part of the overall business plan of a company and integrates all aspects of the business, from financial to operations to legal. Once a marketing plan is developed, department leaders can forecast sales. Forecasts can be used to create production schedules, create budgets, and even determine hiring needs. Marketing research can identify specific unmet needs or wants in a target market segment, which may lead a company to develop new products to meet those needs. It can also track buying behaviors and use that information to build brand loyalty and add value to the company.
