When writing the business plan, the Marketing Plan section explains how you’re going to get your customers to buy your products and/or services. The marketing plan, then, will include sections detailing your:

• Products and/or Services and your Unique Selling Proposition

• Pricing Strategy

• Sales/Distribution Plan

• Advertising and Promotions Plan

The easiest way to develop your marketing plan is to work through each of these sections, referring to the market research you completed when you were writing the previous sections of the business plan.

(Note that if you are developing a marketing plan on its own, rather than as part of a business plan, the marketing plan will also need to include a Target Market and a Competitive Analysis section. You can find out how to do these sections of the marketing plan in “Writing The Market Analysis Section of The Business Plan” and “Writing The Competitive Analysis Section”.)

Products and/or Services

This part of the marketing plan focuses on the uniqueness of your product or service, and how the customer will benefit from using the products or services you’re offering. Use these questions to write a paragraph summarizing these aspects for your marketing plan:

What are the features of your product or service?

Describe the physical attributes of your product or service, and any other relevant features, such as what it does, or how your product or service differs from competitive products or services.

How will your product or service benefit the customer?

Remember that benefits can be intangible as well as tangible; for instance, if you’re selling a cleaning product, your customers will benefit by having a cleaner house, but they may also benefit by enjoying better health. Brainstorm as many benefits as possible to begin with, and then choose to emphasize the benefits that your targeted customers will most appreciate in your marketing plan.

What is it that sets your product or service apart from all the rest? In other words, what is your Unique Selling Proposition, the message you want your customers to receive about your product or service that is the heart of your marketing plan? The marketing plan is all about communicating this central message to your customers.

Are you at the mercy of wholesalers for your raw materials or product components? How can you manage suppliers and gain more buying power over them? Can you simplify your products and reduce your supply needs? Can you buy in bulk and store them somewhere in a cost effective manner? Can you buy some things per-fabricated cheaper than doing it yourself (or vice versa)?

Florist: Use the Internet to locate California-based rose growers who will air freight roses in volume for you and a loose consortium of other florists in your area. They’ll give you greater variety at the standard market rate, versus reduced availability and price gouging during holidays from local wholesalers. Be prepared for friction from them, however.

• POSITIONING. Where do your products/services fall in relation to the total market? Is this truly the position you want? Are you “all things to all people,” or should you move more toward a high-end position (charging a premium for a differentiated service), or a low-cost position (undercutting others’ prices but at a profit, due to high efficiency)? If you are truly “in the middle,” you should examine how well you’re doing regularly (with the help of a good accounting system).

Florist: Should you consider exiting no-growth “traditional lines” such as church flowers and move toward faster-growth lines such as silk flowers for weddings? Does your shop portray the position you want to be in?

A marketing plan outlines the specific actions you intend to carry out to interest potential customers and clients in your product and/or service and persuade them to buy the product and/or services you offer.

The marketing plan implements your marketing strategy. Or, as I put it in my article, “The Key to Marketing: Use a Plan”, “the marketing strategy provides the goals for your marketing plans. It tells you where you want to go from here. The marketing plan is the specific road map that’s going to get you there. “

A marketing plan may be developed as a standalone document or as part of a business plan. Either way, the marketing plan is a blueprint for communicating the value of your products and/or services to your customers.
See Writing the Marketing Plan for detailed instructions on creating a marketing plan for your business, whether as part of a business plan or as a stand-alone.

Sorry if I like the lecture, this spontaneous writing course after reading the above comments. The point is if you want to relax in the business, yes the waiting time, that later. If all the people who start businesses can immediately benefit of all, yes surely no one would want to be employees. All would be a businessman, was tantamount to an imbalance of nature. And it is precisely our strength through adversity and turn it into a success is a priceless reward for an entrepreneur.

Even from the beginning to write a blog, it always appears  questions and comments about how to raise capital due to insufficient capital, or the difficulty of getting capital, after they were eager to open a business or been forced to raise its business.

Although many have tried to convince, especially for beginners business, to open a business factor that capital money is a factor that “not too important” or “not the first priority”, but still if there is no movement of venture capital money seems to be a little slow and hampered .

And no doubt also that behind every success or a business boom, to be sure there is movement or increase the capital money (accounts payable and receivable) that collected business owners. For that we need a little more creative to get injections of fresh funds from other parties.
