Excerpt From The Marketing Plan Book
The theoretical definition of a marketing plan is a comprehensive document that outlines an organization's marketing (free promotion) and
advertising (paid promotion) strategy for a given time into the future.
In practical terms, a marketing plan can be two things. The first and simple way to look at a marketing plan is as a strategy
that you have in your mind without having anything written. The second way to look at a marketing plan is as a professional document that
contains the strategies of how you will promote your business.
