A chart within the book shows the platform of growth in technology in 2007 and what is projected in 2010 (exhibit 3-1, pg 82).

Two important aspects of marketing include acquiring new customers, and the preservation and growth of relationships with current customers.

Marketing staff will also try to anticipate what customers will want in the future, often being accomplished with market research. In summation, a good marketing plan should be able to create a favorable proposition or series of benefits that a customer can value through goods or services.
