Claude prompts for marketing strategy

This prompt produces a practical marketing strategy built around a defined customer, offer, and conversion goal. Use it when you need choices about positioning, channels, experiments, and measurement rather than a list of tactics.

PromptOpen ChatGPTOpen Claude
Build a 90-day marketing strategy for [BUSINESS AND OFFER]. The priority audience is [TARGET AUDIENCE], and the business goal is [BUSINESS GOAL]. Use these constraints and evidence: [MARKET EVIDENCE AND CONSTRAINTS]. Current assets, channels, budget, and capacity are [CURRENT RESOURCES].

Start by separating facts I supplied from assumptions that need validation. Then produce:
1. A one-sentence positioning statement using audience, urgent job, differentiated mechanism or proof, and category; avoid unsupported superiority claims.
2. A segment table with primary segment, secondary segment, trigger, objection, message, proof needed, and conversion action. Do not treat demographics as a strategy unless they change the job or channel.
3. A funnel plan from awareness through activation or purchase, with one primary call to action at each stage and the handoff to sales, product, or onboarding.
4. A channel plan limited to the three most plausible channels, explaining audience fit, format, frequency, owner, cost or effort, and what would disqualify the channel.
5. A 90-day roadmap in three phases, with six prioritized experiments. For each, state hypothesis, audience, offer/message, success metric, minimum sample or decision rule, owner, and next action if results are weak.
6. A measurement table defining baseline, target, source of truth, cadence, and leading versus lagging indicators.

Do not invent market size, conversion benchmarks, customer quotes, competitors, or capabilities. Flag legal, privacy, claims, or consent risks relevant to the plan. Before answering, check that every tactic connects to the offer and a measurable conversion action, and that the plan fits the stated resources. Ask up to 3 clarifying questions only if a required input is missing.

PlaceholderWhat to enterExample
[BUSINESS AND OFFER]Describe the company, product or service, pricing model, and the specific offer being marketed.Ledgerwell, a $79 per month bookkeeping review service for U.S. freelance designers; first-month review is the offer.
[TARGET AUDIENCE]Describe the priority buyer or user, their situation, buying role, and problem to solve.Independent designers earning $80,000 to $250,000 annually who manage bookkeeping themselves and worry about quarterly taxes.
[BUSINESS GOAL]State the 90-day outcome and the measurement that defines success.Acquire 80 qualified trial customers by 31 December while keeping cost per trial below $90.
[MARKET EVIDENCE AND CONSTRAINTS]Paste customer research, performance data, competitors, rules, and known limitations.Ten customer interviews cite tax anxiety and dislike of spreadsheets; LinkedIn posts average 2.1% click-through; no tax advice claims without CPA review; competitors include LedgerNest and Tallyhouse.
[CURRENT RESOURCES]List available team capacity, budget, channels, content assets, tools, and sales or product support.One growth lead, founder available for two webinars monthly, $7,500 media budget, email list of 1,200, LinkedIn page, and a landing page with Stripe checkout.

How to use

  1. Paste evidence from interviews, analytics, and sales calls alongside your resource limits.
  2. Check the positioning statement against claims your product, legal team, and customer proof can support.
  3. Choose the first two experiments and assign an owner, date, and decision rule before starting new channels.
  4. Follow up with: “Turn experiment two into a campaign brief with ad or email copy, landing-page sections, and tracking requirements.”

Variations

Launch strategy

Use this for a new product or feature with limited historical data.

Variation
Create a launch strategy for [PRODUCT OR FEATURE] aimed at [PRIMARY AUDIENCE] on [LAUNCH WINDOW]. Use [CUSTOMER EVIDENCE], [DIFFERENTIATION], and [RESOURCES]. Produce launch phases for readiness, announcement, adoption, and learning; messaging by audience; a content and channel calendar; sales or support enablement; and measurement. Do not invent demand, testimonials, or analyst coverage. Flag launch claims requiring approval and check that every asset points to one defined activation action.

B2B account plan

Use this when marketing supports named accounts and a sales team.

Variation
Build an account-based marketing plan for [OFFER] targeting [ACCOUNT LIST OR ICP]. Use [BUYING COMMITTEE], [ACCOUNT SIGNALS], and [SALES CAPACITY]. Produce account tiers, role-specific messages, personalization triggers, coordinated marketing and sales touches, required proof, and a 60-day measurement plan. Keep outreach consent and data rules in [COMPLIANCE CONSTRAINTS]. Do not fabricate account intelligence or personal details. Flag where human research is required before contact.

Retention strategy

Use this for increasing renewal, repeat purchase, or product adoption.

Variation
Create a retention marketing strategy for [PRODUCT] for customers at [LIFECYCLE STAGE]. Use [BEHAVIOR AND CHURN DATA], [VALUE MOMENTS], and [AVAILABLE CHANNELS]. Produce risk segments, lifecycle messages, in-product or email triggers, ownership boundaries between product, support, and marketing, and five experiments with decision rules. Do not blame customers or invent reasons for churn. Check that interventions occur before the relevant renewal or drop-off point and respect communication preferences.

Tips

  • Build messages around a specific buying trigger, such as a new compliance requirement or a painful manual task, rather than a broad industry label.
  • Use a single source of truth for each funnel metric; mixing ad-platform clicks with CRM opportunities produces misleading conversion rates.
  • Set an experiment decision rule before launch, including what result would stop, revise, or scale the work.
  • Keep channel count low until you know which audience-message-offer combination earns a response.

FAQ

Can AI choose the best marketing channel?

It can rank plausible channels from your evidence, but it cannot know channel economics without testing. Give it historical performance and constraints so its recommendation is falsifiable.

What makes a marketing strategy different from a campaign plan?

Strategy defines audience, positioning, conversion path, choices, and measurement. A campaign plan turns one part of that strategy into assets and execution dates.

Should a strategy include revenue forecasts?

Include scenarios only when you have input assumptions such as traffic, conversion rate, sales cycle, and capacity. Label forecasts as assumptions rather than predictions.
