Task
Develop a Marketing Plan
Using the supplied Marketing Plan template (see Interact) and after reflecting on the models and material in Pride etal (and other sources), develop a concise Marketing Plan for a new product or service your organisation might launch (or an organisation you aspire to develop a plan for). The plan is aimed at key decision makers.
Using the template, ensure you include organisational vision and mission and a SWOT to set the scene. Based on this choose a specific and well identified target market (be extremely focused in this) and develop goals for the target market.
Based on the goals you need to achieve with the target market, develop a comprehensive marketing mix utilising the 7 P (Product/Service, Price/Value, Place/Distribution, People, Process, Physical Evidence and Promotion or communication plan) to communicate ONLY to the identified target market. For the purposes of this report please feel free to make whatever assumptions you need under the financials/budget heading to make the report complete.
The report needs to include a risk matrix, a brief internal marking action plan and how the plan will be evaluated.
This Marketing Plan can be presented as a traditional well sign-posted report or in a format that might suit your specific organisational context.
This plan should be something that you'd be happy to present inside your organisation or as a 90 day plan for a new position that you might be going for.
