Strategic Marketing Plan
A strategic marketing plan is a foundational document that helps you demystify marketing practices and gives you:
- a clear direction on who your unique target customers are (it’s not everyone!)
- where they are and how to talk to them (channels to advertise on)
- helps you understand what spend is reasonable for your business/industry
- identifies your unique opportunities, storytelling elements and brand position
- highlights strategic partnerships, affiliations, or initiatives
- audits your current activities, traditional and digital channels
- offers recommendations and suggestions – tangible actions, timeframes, tools and resources, opportunities, and ideas
It is a great tool for any business owner and takes marketing out of the too hard basket. It should compliment and supports any existing business plan, and is vital to the core values and long-term goals of your business.
NB: This work is also listed for Regional Business Partner Capability Voucher Funding, via Venture Taranaki. Up to 50% of the cost can be funded if you meet the eligibility criteria.
