Introduction
We as a group decided to do research on LinkedIn company a famous social networking
company where people connect to discuss various types of professional discussions. So we would
like to create the marketing plan for this company and do more research on how this company
works. Everyone will go through different profiles, connect with different people to mainly know
about different job roles. Everyone can make the connections with others easily and they can know
about any specific roles positions in a company (Archambault & Grudin, 2012). Marketing
strategies that LinkedIn uses is really good and they are seeing good sales, business from last
decade. Every professional who is working in IT, business, finance, education sector uses LinkedIn
to share their profiles, roles so that others can apply for them or connect with people. In this paper
we would like to do more research on what marketing strategies are present in the market and
develop a marketing plan for LinkedIn.
In the current market also there are so many different marketing strategies like ads,
promotions, referrals, posting stories can help reach higher audiences. Mainly in case of LinkedIn
many people will post the job positions so definitely we will consider how their business model is
working and what changes they can do to increase their sales reach. Everything will be discussed
properly in the marketing plan. Companies can also use LinkedIn to advertise job openings,
positions, or requirements so that they can hire people with the right skills. It was first developed
in 2003, and by 2015, its popularity had grown to the point where many people began using it for
employment. Even LinkedIn has made it possible for a lot of recruiters to work directly with
employees. If the recruiters like the employees' experiences and skills, they can work together to
schedule an interview. Linked has a lot of good features, like the ability to search for other people
using the search bar and connect with them to talk about opportunities (Shields, 2021).

Why we chose LinkedIn?
We chose LinkedIn because we are form It company and we know what are the benefits of
it. Everyone uses this application on daily basis so it is easy analyze and create a marketing plan.
In the coming weeks, we will conduct additional research on how LinkedIn has seen a significant
increase in sales and employees. Based on this research, we will develop a marketing strategy to
enable LinkedIn to reach even larger audiences and increase sales and profits. We chose LinkedIn
primarily to learn about its business model, how people can find new jobs, and its features and
marketing strategies so we can create a plan. We also learned from a variety of other statistics that
nearly all working professionals use LinkedIn, and most of them are active at all times. This really
helps us learn more about the business, conduct additional research, and create a marketing
strategy.
Also in our plan we will provide the information related to marketing strategies, different
features, sales, how to promote any job role, how to improve ethe reach for any recruiters, handling
the discussion forums so that it helps the companies, employees. So we help LinkedIn mainly to
improve their areas of marketing to see good results. We will also provide different ways to
promote their products with more reach.
