It comprises a set of business goals, its justifications why they are believed achievable, and the strategies for reaching those goals. It may also include the company’s background information and the workforce bidding to attain those goals. Within the business plan lays the marketing plan. It is a series of strategies for a company or organization to achieve its business objectives either for a product or service, a brand, or a product line.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Every marketing plan has to fit the need and the situation. Nonetheless, there are basic components you can’t ever do without. A marketing plan should always contain a situation analysis, marketing strategy, sales forecast and expense budget. The Situation Analysis strictly should include the SWOT analysis (strength, weakness, opportunities and threats) and a competitive analysis. This covers a market forecast, customer information, segmentation and market needs. The Marketing Strategy holds the organization’s mission statement, objectives and its focused strategy to consist of its market segment focus and product positioning. The Sales forecast on the other hand will be comprehensive enough to track down the monthly sales and supported in detail with the actual sales figures versus the plan analysis. The forecast, bare minimum as it may be will include specifics as sales by product, area, region or market segment, as well as channel and manager responsibilities among other elements. The Expense Budget should also be thorough enough to trail expenditures on a monthly basis with the plan versus actual performance analysis.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;These elements are not enough but ideally are suggested to be had at the minimum. There is more to it. Planning is not about the plan but the results generated from it. A Marketing Plan is judged by the result is produces, its implementation more significant than how marvelous the scheme or market research that has been done to it. A Marketing Plan should be specific, measurable and certain. All to these, a plan versus actual performance analysis is critical and imperative to the success of the business plan in its entirety.</description><pubDate>Fri, 07 May 2010 20:33:40 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>secretstaff</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
