Marketing

Developing a marketing plan is the first step in the marketing process. Marketing plans should be based around a company, however a marketing plan can also be created for one product, as well as to an organisation’s overall marketing strategy.

Your business strategy will dictacte what your marketing plan looks like. Within the overall strategic marketing plan, the marketing planning process contains the following stages:

• Mission statement – Dilbert has a great mission statement generator. However I would suggest your mission statement should be something that envokes emotion and passion in employees and customers.
• Corporate objectives – These are the broad objectives resulting from the firm’s mission statement.
• Marketing audit – An audit of all marketing processes within a firm. It highlights areas needing improvement, and which areas requiring  modification, prior to the development of the marketing plan.
• SWOT analysis
• Assumptions arising from the marketing audit and SWOT analysis
• Marketing objectives derived from the assumptions
• An estimation of the expected results of the objectives
• Identification of alternative plans or mixes
• Budgeting for the marketing plan
• A first-year implementation program

A creative and innovative marketing plan can set a company apart from its competitors from the beginning.
