Purpose
Of The Marketing Plan Why prepare one? A marketing plan helps you establish, direct and
coordinate your marketing efforts. Preparing a marketing plan forces you
to assess what's going on in your marketplace and how it affects your
business. It also provides a benchmark for later measurement. Often,
simply embarking on the process of preparing a marketing plan guides you
in developing a successful marketing strategy. Who reads it? Just as a road map guides you on a journey, a
marketing plan guides you and your staff to reach your goals; it keeps
you from getting off- course. Representatives from organizations that plan to lend
you money or invest in your business require a business plan–and your
marketing plan is a critical component of that business plan. What is it? A marketing plan contains information about your
company and its products, marketing objectives and strategies, as well
as how you will measure the success of your marketing activities. It
describes all the marketing activities you'll perform during a specified
time period (usually one year). You'll also include any background
information and research results you used to select those marketing
activities. Finally, you'll document the costs associated with your
planned marketing activities as well as the measurements you'll use to
determine success. Most often, a marketing plan is a component of a
business plan. A business plan basically states how you plan to run your
company–what your goals are, how much money it will take to achieve
your goals and what activities you'll perform to achieve your goals.
Marketing, obviously, is one of those activities. Marketing plans sometimes
stand alone but should always support and be closely linked to a
company's business objectives. You need to have a thorough understanding of the
following points to develop a marketing plan:
When should I prepare one? Ideally, you will develop your first marketing plan
as a component of your overall business plan before you launch your
business. If you're already in business without a written plan, however,
develop one now with your goals for the next 12 months in mind. Update your plan on a regular basis. Last year's
strategy may not work given this year's market conditions. Prepare
reminders to review and update your marketing plan about every quarter,
but at least annually. The templates below provide all you need to build creative and comprehensive marketing plans.
