Free Marketing Plan Template
By Stephanie Chandler on Dec 31, 2012 with Comments 11
I’m writing this on New Year’s Eve, which happens to be my favorite holiday of the year! While most people are out 
celebrating, this year I’ve decided to use this day to reflect on the previous year and plan for the year ahead. I’m launching some exciting new things in the coming year, and so one of my projects has been to update my Marketing Plan. It occurred to me that this template was meant to be shared!
The Marketing Plan template is in Microsoft Excel format and please note that there are two tabs: One for overall planning that includes important questions you should ask yourself, and another tab for planning out your marketing tactics.
Every small business owner should update a marketing plan at least once each year. Hope you find this helpful. Happy New Year!
