You've heard it before: Operating without a marketing plan is akin to taking a road trip without a map. While you may eventually get there, it is also just as likely you will get lost.
A marketing plan outlines a shared, focused strategy on how marketing will help the organization achieve its key business initiatives. It clarifies the challenges you face as well as the opportunities.
The research involved in creating a marketing plan improves marketing effectiveness and efficiencies, clarifies your target market, and helps insure you won’t end up pursuing unprofitable ventures. This session with Laura Patterson introduces key marketing and plan concepts, and provides a framework for developing a customer-centric marketing plan. You'll have a creative, complete, and concise approach that enables you to develop a strategically based, customer-centric, measurable marketing plan.
