Marketing Plan Resources

Online Resources

  • Marketing Plan Workbook from The US Small Business Administration website
    Remember, your aim is not only to attract and keep a steady group of loyal customers, but also to expand your customer base by identifying and attracting, new customers and to reduce risks by anticipating market shifts that can affect your bottom line. To help you accomplish this aim, your marketing plan should include strategies typical of any marketing plan. The plan should especially include what marketers dub as the 4 P's of Marketing: (Product/Service, Price, Place, and Promotion.)
