It usually looks forward over a year, though it can be tuned for monthly or quarterly campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>The marketing plan will include the following items:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Marketing and advertising goals over the period<\/li>\n<li>Current marketing position<\/li>\n<li>Scheduled tasks charted over a timeline, with start and end dates<\/li>\n<li>Key performance indicators (KPIs) that will be tracked<\/li>\n<li>Target market and audience<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Therefore, the marketing plan offers a high-level view of the who, what, where, why and how of the marketing campaign. This gives a business the opportunity to think through what is necessary to effectively market their brand, product, service, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The more thorough your marketing plan, the more likely it will achieve the goals and objectives of your marketing strategy. That\u2019s why this marketing plan template is so important.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_61408\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-61408\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a class=\"template-lightbox-trigger-68203\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-61408 size-medium\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Marketing-Plan-Screenshot-600x451.jpg\" alt=\"ProjectManager's free marketing plan template\" width=\"600\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Marketing-Plan-Screenshot-600x451.jpg 600w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Marketing-Plan-Screenshot-300x225.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Marketing-Plan-Screenshot-768x577.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Marketing-Plan-Screenshot-450x338.jpg 450w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Marketing-Plan-Screenshot.jpg 982w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-61408\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ProjectManager&#8217;s marketing plan template for Word<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Why You Need a Marketing Plan Template<\/h2>\n<p>ProjectManager\u2019s marketing plan template saves you time by providing an outline, so you need only fill in the blanks.

That\u2019s the basic contours of this marketing plan template. More accurately, making a marketing plan is a process, one that starts early and doesn\u2019t end until the campaign it defines has been completed.<\/p>\n<p>In truth, the marketing plan begins with a discussion of the business strategy. Since that strategy is the lodestar that the marketing plan will follow, it needs to be part of the brainstorming that creates a marketing strategy. That will include important aspects of the marketing plan template, such as defining the niche to be exploited and the target audience.<\/p>\n<p>The marketing plan template remains a live document and is never complete until the marketing push has run its course. As you execute your advertising, the marketing plan template will have to be constantly reviewed and revised as things change. The versatility of the marketing plan template is one of the reasons it\u2019s such an important arrow in your marketing quiver.<\/p>\n<h2>Who Should Use the Marketing Plan Template?<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-marketing-plan\">marketing plan<\/a> is used by the entire marketing department of a company, but the chief marketing officer is responsible for leading the creation of the marketing plan. They will usually delegate sections of the marketing plan to various team leaders in the marketing department. But everyone is usually involved to some extent.<\/p>\n<p>Research is an important component of the marketing plan template and can be completed by a third party or done in-house, depending on the structure and size of the company. Other aspects of the plan, such as activities and scheduling, will be led by the marketing leadership team after a strategy, market segment and target audience have been determined.<\/p>\n<p>Once the marketing push is executed, the whole team will be employed. The marketing plan template will then be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/blog\/tips-for-project-roadmap\">a vital roadmap<\/a> that keeps the team focused on the tasks at hand and allows managers to track progress, ensuring that the project is on schedule and within the agreed-upon budget.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Use ProjectManager\u2019s Marketing Plan Template<\/h2>\n<p>ProjectManager\u2019s free marketing plan template for Word in a multi-page document that is customizable to fit your needs.<\/p>\n<h3>Cover Page<\/h3>\n<p>This is where you can add your company logo and the name of the marketing plan.<\/p>\n<h3>Document Control<\/h3>\n<p>This is where you track the marketing plan. There\u2019s an information chart that captures the ID of the plan, the owner, the date it was issued and when it was last saved, with the file name. There\u2019s another chart to capture all the versions, as the marketing plan is likely going to be revised many times throughout its life cycle. The chart allows you to note the version, the date that revision was made and then a space to note all the changes that were made.<\/p>\n<p>The document control is complete with a chart that lists all the people involved in the approval process. That includes the client, CMO, creative director and potentially many others. There are extra rows to add those people to your list. Each person has a place to add their name, sign the document and add the date of their approval.<\/p>\n<h3>Table of Contents<\/h3>\n<p>Because this is going to be a long document, there is a table of contents to make it easier to jump to a section.<\/p>\n<h3>Instructions<\/h3>\n<p>Following the table of contents is an instructional page that can be deleted but can prove helpful, especially if this is your first attempt to create a marketing plan. The template guide has a brief description of what a marketing plan is, including what\u2019s included.<\/p>\n<p>The next paragraph explains when to use a marketing plan, which is followed by a brief explanation of how to use this template. Again, these pieces are all informational and can be removed.<\/p>\n<h3>Planning Basis<\/h3>\n<p>The next page is about the planning basis. This is broken into subsections.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Business Information:<\/strong> The first item is the business information, which is a high-level description of the strategy employed to market the project. The details will follow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marketing Goals: <\/strong>Then you\u2019ll want to list your marketing goals, which are the specifics in your marketing plan, such as tasks, quotes, etc. There\u2019s an enclosed chart to help you collect these. You can also put KPIs (key performance indicators) in there, but you\u2019ll have a section to go into more detail later in the plan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Competitive Analysis:<\/strong> A competitive analysis is where you list your competitors&#8217; strengths and weaknesses. Using a technique called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/training\/how-to-perform-a-swot-analysis\">SWOT<\/a>, which stands for strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats, allows you to capture all this important data. Again, we\u2019ve included a chart to help you with the list.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Target Audience:<\/strong> It\u2019s important to know who your audience is, which is why defining a target audience is part of your marketing plan. These are the customers to whom you\u2019ll be selling your product or service. The better defined the target audience, the better your marketing will be.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buyer Cycle:<\/strong> Once you know the target audience, you\u2019ll want to figure out the buyer cycle. This is the process that customers go through as they move towards making a purchase. The five major stages of this process include awareness, consideration, intent, purchase and repurchase.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Selling Proposition:<\/strong> It helps to have a unique selling proposition. In other words, how does your company differentiate itself from the competition? Knowing this is crucial to targeting your marketing materials and exploiting the weaknesses in your competition.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strategy and Tactics:<\/strong> The next part is your marketing strategy and tactics. The strategy is more general and the tactics are the specific steps you\u2019ll take to enact it. You want to have this list ready for when you move on to scheduling the marketing plan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Marketing Plan<\/h3>\n<p>As you develop your plan, don\u2019t forget your company brand. That\u2019s how you interact with customers and the public at large. It must align with whatever plan you want to execute and should be directing all your marketing materials.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Website:<\/strong> This includes your website, which should reflect the marketing campaign or at least have a component dedicated to it. In fact, many will want to create a dedicated website for the marketing initiative, which will be part of your larger plan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marketing Channels:<\/strong> Another way to reach your target audience is through marketing channels. These are the routes you can take to market directly to your audience. Figure out the best ones and incorporate them into your marketing plan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>SEO:<\/strong> SEO means search engine optimization and is another crucial step in your marketing plan. Using the right keywords and other online tools can help drive traffic to your product or whatever web presence you have created to sell it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>KPIs:<\/strong> Measurements and KPIs, which we touched on earlier, are how you chart the success of your marketing plan and make sure you\u2019re keeping to the schedule you created. There are many you can use, such as sales revenue, site traffic, etc.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Project Timeline:<\/strong> The next step is to take all those activities, tasks and resources and schedule them on a timeline that starts at the beginning of your campaign and ends with its conclusion. This can be done any number of ways, from using a simple calendar to adding complexity with a spreadsheet or <a href=\"\/guides\/gantt-chart\">Gantt chart<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How ProjectManager Improves Your Marketing Plan<\/h2>\n<p>Our marketing plan template is a fantastic start, but if you\u2019re looking to take your <a href=\"\/blog\/what-is-marketing-management\">marketing management<\/a> to the next level, you should sign up for ProjectManager.<\/p>\n<h3>Plot Entire Marketing Plans on the Gantt Chart<\/h3>\n<p>ProjectManager has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.projectmanager.com\/software\/gantt-chart\">an interactive Gantt chart<\/a> that can organize all that work, link dependencies and set milestones.
