Understanding the Distinction: Product Marketing vs. Solutions Marketing

Updated: Oct 2, 2024

Product marketing and solutions marketing are critical functions within an organization. They serve distinct purposes and require different skill sets.There is often confusion about the differences between product marketing and solutions marketing. It’s easy to understand why.

Great products solve customer problems, so they are solutions per se. The critical difference is in scope. 


Product Marketing

Product marketing focuses on a specific product or service. Its primary goal is understanding the target market, defining the product’s value proposition, and developing marketing strategies to drive adoption.


The primary goal of product marketing is to drive the adoption of a product or service. This is done by understanding a target market, defining a product’s value proposition to that market, and developing strategies to drive adoption. 

Product marketing focuses on individual products or services, and the scope is on product features, benefits, and positioning. 


The audience is a broadly defined target market. 


The key responsibilities of product marketing are:

  • Market research and analysis

  • Product positioning and messaging

  • Competitive analysis

  • Go-to-market strategy

  • Sales enablement

What's the difference between product marketing and solutions marketing?

Solutions Marketing

Solutions marketing takes a broader perspective by combining multiple products and services to address a specific market problem or opportunity. 


It requires a deep understanding of customer needs and industry challenges.

Solutions marketing focuses on a specific market problem, and the scope is bundling products and services into solutions. 


The target audience is a specific set of customer segments or industries. 


The key responsibilities of solutions marketing are:

  • Identifying customer pain points and business challenges

  • Developing solution-based positioning and message

  • Deep cross-functional collaboration (sales, product management, engineering)

  • Solution pricing and packaging

  • Customer education and enablement

Skill Set

Product expertise, messaging, positioning

Industry knowledge, problem-solving, cross-functional collaboration

In its most basic form, product marketing is about promoting a product and its features, while solutions marketing is about promoting a solution to a problem.


In many organizations, the lines between product marketing and solutions marketing blur. This is because both “products” and “solutions” answer customer problems and , therefore, are technically solutions.


I’ve experienced company leaders make strategic shifts from products to solutions without clearly distinguishing between the two. The goal is a good one. The problems happen in the execution. They often become solutions marketing in name only, which can create confusion among the team.


Significant overlap can exist between product marketing and solutions marketing, and successful organizations often integrate the two functions to maximize their impact.
