How to write a marketing plan – a guide for small business owners

If you want to grow your business you need to market it effectively. And to do that, you should know how to write a marketing plan.

​

​​

At its core, marketing is about building relationships with your customers. Without marketing, you’ll struggle to get customers to buy your product or use your services.

​

In that way, it’s one of the most critical elements of your entire operation – from product development to sales and distribution.

​

When you start out, it might be a tad frustrating – that’s OK. But as you build your business, you should think about writing a marketing plan to help you grow. A marketing plan could form a part of your business plan or it might be a separate document.

​

What is a marketing plan?

A marketing plan is a document that lets you establish and track your marketing strategy (or strategies) over a period of time.

​

Let’s say you want to launch a new product or service. While some businesses might develop these first and then consider marketing as an afterthought, a marketing plan helps you make marketing part of the entire process.

​

You could have a marketing plan that details the overarching marketing strategy for your business, or you might have individual marketing plans outlining different strategies for different goals.

​

It should be concise, easy-to-read and compelling to help get people on board with your plans whether they’re team members or investors.
