Why any business needs a marketing plan

  • It allows everyone in the business to know the organisational goals and the rationale behind them, thus helping people to know what to aim towards each week, month, or year. Marketing is not just for the marketing department and a plan shows everyone how they need to get involved.
  • A coordinated marketing approach means your business will give clear messages to your customers and helps to build trust and a greater understanding of your product/service.
  • All the key marketing decisions will have been made, so when you are busy (or not) you can easily and quickly implement marketing activities.
  • It keeps a steadier stream of enquiries and sales.
  • A well thought out plan with appropriate strategies improves return on investment on marketing activities.
  • It ensures that the marketing budget is spent in the right places and avoids wasted marketing expenditure.
  • The focus that a marketing plan brings to a business ensures all marketing activity feeds into a larger goal providing direction.
  • Gives clear guidelines on how the effectiveness of different activities is to be measured.
  • A marketing plan allows a business to be more flexible and react more quickly to market changes.
