Three objectives for marketing plans:
1) Improved visibility equals improved decisions.
A good marketing plan will give you the big picture based on what you already know. The process of a marketing plan includes taking stock of where you are at, then using that visibility to make decisions. The quality of your decision is almost always directly proportional to the quality of information to hand.
2) To do better with what you have.
As no two businesses are alike and no two marketing plans are alike. Unfortunately, you can't buy an existing marketing plan off the shelf, even for a franchise. There are always unique issues based on the history, type, location, resources and personnel of your business. A good marketing plan takes into account those unique considerations and sets priorities for marketing opportunities appropriate for your business.
3) To explore efficiencies
Marketing plans seek to provide a sound base of marketing collateral that helps build your business, then revisits that strategy and its implementation to make improvements based on experience gained. Examples of efficiencies to explore include developing devices to save key personnel time, provide communication solutions deeper into the supply chain, or a multilingual programme for an exporter.
