Orti's Organic Bakery
This sample marketing plan can be edited directly in Sales and Marketing Pro software.
The marketing calendar is set in advance by the owner, Orti Franklin. Monthly marketing themes will focus the efforts on different aspects of the marketing work each month so that all elements are considered seriously and developed every year.
Milestones refer to the developmental activities during the four months prior to the business launch on January 1, 2011.
On a daily basis, the owner will devote the hours of 1 pm to 3 pm to marketing activities. Of this time, at least 10 hours per month will be devoted to the marketing theme. The rest of the time will be spent on development of the e-newsletter, creation of promotions, business referral marketing/business development, monthly employee workshops, and other ongoing activities that are not administered by the staff.
On a weekly basis, the sales and marketing critical numbers (actual sales versus forecast, actual marketing expenses versus forecasted, and key marketing metrics) will be reviewed by the owner. This will occur every Monday, with a report generated from the previous week.
