Questions and answers

The purpose of advertising as a marketing communication policy is multi-fold:

Firstly, it's used to create awareness about a product or service. This is crucial for new products or services entering the market.

Secondly, advertising helps to differentiate a product or service from its competitors. It highlights the unique selling propositions that make the product or service stand out.

Thirdly, advertising aims to persuade customers to purchase the product or service. It does this by showcasing the benefits and value the product or service can bring to the customer.

Lastly, advertising helps to remind customers about the product or service. This is especially important in saturated markets where customers have a wide range of options to choose from.

Remember, effective advertising is a key component of a successful marketing communication policy. It should be strategic, targeted, and aligned with the overall marketing objectives of the business.

A marketing plan can help make an organization's goals measurable by setting clear, specific, and quantifiable objectives. These objectives are often set using the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) framework. The plan also includes Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that provide measurable outcomes to track the progress and effectiveness of the marketing strategies. Furthermore, tools like Gantt charts and timelines can be used to monitor the progress of the plan and ensure that the marketing activities are on track to achieve the set goals.

Marketing Plan Rollout Timeline

Application

"A marketing plan contains one or more marketing strategies. It is the framework from which all of your marketing strategies are created, and helps you connect each strategy back to a larger marketing operation and business goal," HubSpot team says. According to them, the below steps will help you put together a comprehensive marketing plan.

Questions and answers

To define and measure key performance indicators (KPIs) in a marketing plan, you should first align them with your business's mission. The KPIs should be specific enough to track the progress of your mission. Once you have defined your KPIs, you can measure them by tracking the relevant data. For example, if one of your KPIs is to increase customer engagement, you could measure this by tracking metrics such as website traffic, social media engagement, or email open rates. It's also important to regularly review and adjust your KPIs as necessary to ensure they are helping you achieve your business goals.

Content initiatives and strategies play a crucial role in the success of a marketing plan. They help in attracting and engaging the target audience, thereby increasing brand awareness and customer loyalty. They also provide valuable information to the audience, helping them make informed decisions. This can lead to increased sales and customer retention. Moreover, content initiatives can help in SEO, driving more traffic to the website and improving its ranking on search engines. They can also help in establishing the brand as a thought leader in the industry, enhancing its credibility and trustworthiness.

  1. State your business's mission – a mission is specific to your marketing department, however, it should serve your business's main mission statement. "Be specific, but not too specific. You have plenty of space left in [your] marketing plan to elaborate on how you'll acquire new customers and accomplish this mission," HubSpot experts say.
  2. Determine the KPIs for this mission – describe how the department will track its mission's progress and determine your key performance indicators (KPIs).
  3. Identify your buyer personas – a buyer persona is a description of whom you want to attract, including age, sex, location, family size, job title and other details. "Each buyer persona should be a direct reflection of your business's customers and potential customers. Therefore, it's critical that business leaders all agree on what your buyer personas are," the experts say.
  4. Describe your content initiatives and strategies – include the main points of your marketing and content strategy here.
  5. Define your plan's omissions – a marketing plan's purpose is to explain what the marketing team is going to focus on and what the marketing team is not going to focus on. HubSpot team explains that omissions help to justify your mission, buyer personas, KPIs and content.
  6. Define your marketing budget – your strategy might leverage many free channels and platforms, but there are always hidden expenses to be accounted for, such as freelance fees, sponsorships or a new full-time marketing hire. Develop a marketing budget and outline each expense in this section of your marketing plan.
  7. Identify your competition – "part of marketing is knowing whom you're marketing against. Research the key players in your industry and consider profiling each one in this section," the experts say.
  8. Outline your plan's contributors and their responsibilities – explain who's doing what and assign tasks and make it clear which teams and team leaders are in charge of specific content types, channels, KPIs, etc.

Expert advice

Top industry specialists shared enlightening tips with "Inc." magazine. Here are some of the most inspiring ones:

Andrew Pickering and Pete Gartland, co-founders of Andrew and Pete

"Spend 90% of your marketing efforts doing something remarkably well and 10% experimenting."

Jeff Sauer, founder of Data Driven U

"Take a step away from Google Analytics and go as low tech as possible; use a whiteboard or Excel to write down your objectives."

Emeric Ernoult, co-founder and CEO of Agorapulse

"Focus on monetization, retention and acquisition. Companies that focus on these key factors grow three times faster than those working solely on the acquisition. While the acquisition is important and seems easier, it isn't the driving factor of growth for most businesses. By spreading your energy across retention and monetization, you can reap the full benefits from current customers."

Julia Bramble, social media strategist for Bramblebuzz

"Act more like a friend on social media. [...] Businesses must begin to share the tips and information that our friends need. That means sharing a funny story, asking questions, being empathetic, following up and raising a smile."

Ieva Zelca, CMO at Accuranker

"Experimenting with strategies can help strengthen the weak areas within your business, as long as you create actionable goals and record the new method's impact over time. It's important that you measure your results because, then, you'll learn more about what works for you and what doesn't."

Sarah-Jayne Gratton, technology futurist

"Keep an eye on artificial intelligence. Marketers need to be aware of how predictive analytics can understand and see the behavior in retail, or any aspect of the business."
