      With any business or form of marketing you will need a plan. If you don't how will you focus on your goals? Track conversions and engagement? Identify flaws in your funnel? test campaigns??


      That's why its important to have a marketing plan!

      Starting out, you don't necessarily have to have a formal Plan ( but if you can, the better off you will be )

      Having a Plan makes you more Organized and Diligent. At least for me it does.

      It enables you to establish some Goals, minor and major ones.

      Not having a Plan is similar to starting out an exercise regimen without preparation i.e. Oh Iam just going to go outside and get my heart rate up by doing Walking or Running or Whatever.

      It's just NOT an efficient manner to conduct one's life

    I'll answer you question with a question.
    Why do you need a plan to do almost anything worthwhile ?

    For me a plan is a step by step guide, with a specific timeframe and clear objectives. It actually helps you to stay on course by knowing what works and what doesn't.

    Adams2015,

    Many new business owners are put off by the thought of creating a marketing plan for their new venture. Don't be. Keep it simple and to the point.

    Do you have 5 minutes?

    Here's the Plan

    The tag line: "5 minutes are all you need to create a top-notch marketing plan--and get your business ready for success."
    Excerpted from Startup Guide to Guerrilla Marketing: A Simple Battle Plan for First-Time Marketers, by Jay Conrad Levinson and Jeannie Levinson (Entrepreneur Press).

    The very best to you all, and Happy Thanksgiving!

    Metaphorically speaking, if you see your marketing plan in a similar light as say; the military trains to protect 'their' assets...

    Imagine what a war would be like with out strategic planning...

    You might not be able to guarantee victory (or success) even with a well-researched strategy, but to have no strategy (or marketing plan) would be about as intelligent as hiring a psychic to channel Dr. Kovorkian to 'assist your mission' from beyond the grave!

    Building a social media presence takes time and consistency. Developing a social media marketing plan allows you to map your brand, determine goals and milestones and helps figure out your target audience. These are things you need to think about before launching your business all across social media and allows your branding to be streamlined and uniform.

    A plan is always important to every marketer. It is through the plan that you are able to identify the things and tasks you need to do and within which time frame. A plan will generate a table of precedence when it comes to tasks thus knowing which one to start with and the one to end with. Planning also helps put into place the other resources such as financial and just to be aware that they are properly allocated.
