What a Small-Business Marketing Plan Should Contain

A useful plan is short, specific and something you can act on this month. Length is not a measure of quality.

Objectives

Two or three business objectives the marketing supports, written so you would know whether they had been met.

Audience

The groups you are speaking to and what each one needs to hear.

Positioning and messaging

How you want to be understood, and the wording that carries it.

Channels

A short list of where you will show up, chosen for your capacity rather than for completeness.

Content and campaigns

What you will publish and the promotional moments worth planning around.

Priorities and sequence

What happens first. A plan without an order is a wish list.

Review points

Fixed dates when you look at what happened and decide what changes.

Where to take this next

If you would like this applied to your own business rather than read in the abstract, the marketing packages cover reviews, campaign planning, content plans and full strategies as fixed-scope pieces of work.
