The importance and relevance of a Marketing Plan is regularly overlooked or at best misunderstood. It is not a Business Plan and neither does a Business Plan constitute a Marketing Plan.
A professionally researched and Marketing Plan gives your company the promotional roadmap required to achieve your objectives. It should be an adjunct to a Business Plan but should also be able to stand alone as the driving strategy behind a thriving or growing business.
History proves that it isn't good enough to have a great idea alone – inspiration needs to be harnessed and implementation needs to be planned. Without a battle plan, a war can never be won.
To prepare an incisive and meaningful Marketing Plan, it is important to recognise that the author considers some or all of the following before committing it to paper:
· Market Summary
· Market: Past, Present, and Future
· Market Cycle
· Product Definition
· Competitive Landscape
· Product Comparison
· Positioning
· Communication Strategies
· Launch Strategies
· PR Strategy and Implementation
· Advertising Strategy and Execution
· Other Promotions
· Packaging and Fulfilment
· Pricing and Policies
· Distribution
· Vertical Markets/Segments
· Regional Requirements
· Success Metrics
· Timeline
· Budget Planning
