Outline of a Marketing Plan\n\nYour written marketing plan need not be lengthy and complicated. You can even make it as simple as possible. It is an internal document where you can be honest and direct when describing your company's weaknesses.\n\nGordon suggests the following outline:\n\n1. Situation Analysis. Your first step is to take a comprehensive look at your company's challenges, its position in the market place, level and intensity of competition, and other factors that may affect your marketing strategies. This is the market research portion of your plan.\n\nChallenges. When you open your business, you are faced with the huge task of letting your target market know that you exist, and willing to serve their needs. You are faced with the challenge of communicating with your target market to get them to become your customers.\n\nPosition in the marketplace. Your promotional strategy should highlight the "unique selling points" of your business.\n\nCompetition. This involves a complete analysis of the businesses already offering your type of goods and services within your geographical area (e.g. county, town, and city). You want to learn how many businesses are already in the marketplace, what they offer, and where they are located. By looking at this data, you can identify the relative strengths and weaknesses of your competitors in the area of price, quality, selection, promotion, services, customer service/personnel support, facilities/atmosphere, and location. \n\n2. Target Audience. One of the most important segments of your market analysis involves identifying the people or businesses that may have a desire to purchase your type of product or service. The key is to know who buys what, how often, from whom, and what they may be looking for. If you are operating in a broad geographical market, you may have several target group - the primary, secondary, and so on. Your marketing plan should concentrate on reaching your primary audience, and allocating smaller budgets for the secondary market.\n\nProfile of primary audience. You should identify the number of potential customers, who they are, how often they buy, who they are currently buying from, how much they spend, and if they are brand or store loyal. This group is the segment of the market that will consume your type of goods and services, and hopefully still in search of a business to patronize. If you are a wedding planner, your main market is the engaged couple planning to get married within a definite time frame.\n\nSecondary audience. Utilizing a rifle approach, your secondary audience is those in the periphery of your main target group. \n\n3. Objectives. Marketing objectives quantify the results you are looking to achieve. By clearly stating these results in advance, you provide performance criteria against which your future results can be compared. Whatever marketing objectives you decide on, they should meet certain criteria. They must be realistic, measurable, and be guided by short, medium and long-term deadlines.\n\nProfit. Profit objectives state the bottom line progress you want your marketing efforts to achieve. You may set the goal of achieving 2 percent profit in your first year, and increasing it by 10 percent every year hereafter.\n\nMarket share. Market share objectives state your desired cut of the total industry sales pie, or at least the local industry. If the total revenue of all the wedding planners in your county is $2 million, how much of that is yours? If you only have 2% of that pie, you may want to increase your share to about 10% after launching your marketing campaign.\n\nSales volume target. Your sales volume affects your cost structure: the higher the sales that you generate, the lower your cost. Specific sales volume levels can give you more bargaining power with your suppliers. Sales volume objectives should clearly state the total goods or services you intend to deliver. Your goal can be to increase your sale

I find that the easiest way to begin a new business plan is to view one that currently exists in the same market or industry.  I use Business Plan Pro for many of my daily planing needs and I have found the sample plans included to be very helpful in pointing out specific industry topics and other items not easily found by just searching the internet.  \n\nObviously you need to generate your own unique plan for your business, so you can't just go and copy and paste an existing template or sample plan, but it will help in guiding you through the actual planning process.  After all... it's really the process of putting together the plan itself that is the most beneficial part of creating a business plan!\n\nHere's an example of a dance studio business plan that is available.

There are a number of awesome business plan books at your local library that will help you with the form (and samples) that will help you fill in the details. The problem with what benefits to provide to employees is that each has its cost which might not be approved by Management. Since I dont know what you have now, it's hard to suggest what better would be. Ask the employees what they'd like to see? Personally I would love an employer to offer a match on a 401K plan, tuition reimbursement, disability insurance, and discount buying plans. In regards to training, send the retail staff out in the field with installers (and get those installers into the office) so each can see what it's like on the other side. Any kind of trade publications and/or video training seminars would be great but don't make it so employees have to do it on their own time. Take time with the employees so they get a better overview not only of their jobs but of the company. Now how to increase sales??? Definately get a referral program going for customers to have reason to spread the word about your company to others. Word of mouth is the cheapest possible form of advertising and most effective. Don't forget to "tip" customers that refer others to you. If you dont have a website, get one and advertise it every where you can. Also, find other businesses that you can cross-refer to your clients and for them to refer to theirs. You dont want to work with competition but if you sell tile but not carpet, pair up with those who sell carpet but not tile. You get the point. There are lots of low cost ways to advertise your business. Check out the book (I found at library) called "Marketing without Money" by Nicholas E Bade. There are 300 tips on how to get your company name out there... surely a few will work for you. Does any of this help???

pick a company - lets say a shoe store. use a paragraph telling what goes on in a shoe store - keeping an inventory -making sails - keeping books - paying staff etc. Then show how each of these activities could be improved by the use of a computer - speed - accuracy - ability to handle large amounts of data. Then finish it by talking about how a relational data base like Access would handle all of it.
