evaluation of the marketing strategy
In Kotler and Keller, process is described in detail on pages 90-105
Example from page 61 about fictional sports company:
Pegasus is located in the center of the skating world, Venice, California.
It will be able to leverage this opportune location by working with many
of the different skates that live in the area. Pegasus was able to test all
of its products not only with principals, who are accomplished skaters,
but also with many other dedicated and “newbie” users located in
Venice. The extensive product testing by a wide variety of users
provided Pegasus with valuable product feedback and has led to several
design improvements.
