Transcript of Marketing plan
Marketing is, in fact, the analysis of customers, competitors, and a company,
combining this understanding into an overall understanding of what segments
exist, deciding on targeting the most profitable segments, positioning your
products, and then doing what's necessary to deliver
on that positioning.

Concepts:
Create a consistent look and feel to all visual marketing pieces so each ties into the next in color, type of fonts, photos, and content. This will build a positive and professional look to the whole product line of the company.
Strengthening the Logo with a
tie-in slogan to better define
what
the company is really all
about.
Design ads for specific trade
magazines and newspapers.
Direct Mail pieces and In-store
or office pieces that change
every month and promote one
of the companies product
lines. All of these elements
will keep a certain look and
feel throughout the year.
Develop and design an in
depth sales packet that
explains the various products
and how each program
works. Create a CD with
logos, ads, posters and other
marketing materials that
businesses that have a
connection with the company
can use with their own
advertising.
What Makes a Marketing Idea the Right One?
A. The Fit. The marketing idea or activity makes sense for your business or
organization because it has a tie-in to what you're about.
B. Good Benefit Potential. This depends on what you're trying to accomplish, such as:
Immediate sales; attracting new, or more targeted, customers;
media attention; increased participation in your program or
event; additional prospects' names for your database, etc.
C. Success Factors. Other key players have committed to helping you succeed, such
as: a celebrity's participation, community backing, a joint
activity with a well known organization, etc. Or, you've seen
this idea work for others in similar circumstances, but you're
giving it a unique twist.
Create an incentives program that a store or business can use with its employees to sign on or use the company' and one of its many products.
Move away from being too conservative in the marketing pieces, give a more dramatic look and feel to the advertising collateral material.
Design a small brochure size
proposal template that could
easily be tailored to benefit
new clients. This proposal
would define the company’s
capabilities, products and
benefits, while adding
information of the potential
client within the piece as if
they were already on board.
Research what's being done
and then push it to the next
level. Don’t be afraid to fail,
there is always something to
be gained and learned. New
opportunities come from the
simplest of ideas.
Create and maintain an in-
house archive of any of the
pieces that are created with
outside vendors or in-house
pieces.
I like to have as much in-house
control over the marketing
elements as possible. This
enables me to change or
manipulate any item that may
be needed for very quick turn-
around advertising
opportunities. It is important to
look and act like we are the
source for what is driving the
company’s marketing and
advertising which will help
develop confidence in what you
are trying to accomplish.
Creative You don't always have to be
original
In fact, a very important
fundamental law of
marketing for a business of
any size: It's fine to use ideas
or concepts which are not
yours (and therefore not
original). They don't have to
be unique. Many people feel
that to market successfully,
all ideas or concepts used
must be fresh, unique and
never seen before. But in
fact, quite the opposite can
be true.
Some of the best creative marketing tips, tools and devices have been used time and time again. And because they have been used successfully over and over, you can have confidence that they work. So while it is fantastic if you can come up with a new way of successfully promoting your business, our number one marketing tip is: Use ideas that you know have worked elsewhere. Start with something you can be sure of, modify it, and make it your own. When you have more confidence and resources, try something completely original!
A word of caution: Make sure you never infringe copyright or any other law. If you are unsure of how this applies to a specific situation - seek legal advice.
Sometimes you only
get one chance, to
make a good
Impression!
