By Tammie Caldwell


All firms have an objective of why they ventured in a given line of operation. However, the main objective why most firms enter the market is to generate profit from the sale of their goods and services. In order to promote revenue the firm employs various strategies which includes good pricing strategies, allowable discounts and also guarantees. However, all these might not guarantee you that the business will generate profit. This is because you might provide all the above but fail to present your product to the final consumer in a manner that will promote its sales. This creates the need to look at a sample marketing plan.

Target group is an important consideration to take when you are generating the plan. This is because you need to know how the population you intend to provide your good or service is composed of in terms of age, sex and also tastes and preferences. This will ensure that whatever the good or service you are offering meets its intended demand and thus avoid any surplus or shortages.

Developing a marketing budget is also a very crucial aspect of promoting the sales of your business. Outline how much the whole process will cost you and bend it when it is necessary to do so. However, returns on investment should inform you on what extent you can bend your budget.

Through this constant evaluation, you will be able to understand whether the firm is effective in its marketing activities. If the current proposal is not working you should consider switching to another one.

Distribution channel of your goods and services is also an important aspect to pay attention to when marketing your goods. You can either use your website or small scale distributors in the provision of your goods and services. This will enable you cover your whole intended market well.

Pricing and also positioning strategy should also be taken care of by the plan. Your pricing policies should be able to attract customers. It should not be too low as low prices are associated with low quality goods.it should not also be too high to discourage potential buyers from purchasing them.

Evaluation of the whole plan should be done at a minimum interval of annual basis. Through this you will be able to compare its performance from time and establish any necessary adjustment that should be made to it.

Every firm would want a reasonable return on its investment. However, this is not always the case as the firm does not operate in isolation from competition with other similar firms. Thus the firm needs to generate a strategy that will influence the customers into buying from them and not from the other firms. This is where the marketing plan offers you the edge.
