Which current product has the best marketing plan?
What commercial product (excluding Apple products) do you think has the best marketing plan? By marketing, I do NOT mean advertising. Instead, I’m talking about the total combination of pricing, promotions, channels, and positioning. So, what do you think? Thanks!!

How do you construct a marketing plan fora company that sells high end wood sales to hotels/banks.?
I am in charge of putting together a marketing program for a woodworking company that does high end sales. How do you begin to construct one.
I also need to set up a program to have new agents come in and train to sell the product.
Well, first you need to look around and see what other companies supply with the same product and do a comparison (analyze your strengths and weakneses as well as advantages you have over other products).
Then, describe your product and decide how you want to position it for your target clients (usually this requires research)
you may want to emphasize on quality of your product, uniquness, or that it is of modern style, or classic, etc.
Then identify the channels through which you are going to outreach your clients: direct marketing, or other channels.
then describe what kind of marketing materials you will prepare (printed material, website, sometimes wood samples help)
and then attach a budget
The Competitive Analysis section of a Marketing Plan.?
I am working on a Marketing Plan and I am doing the section of the Situation Analysis. I have done all of the steps except the petitive Analysis. I am suppose to answer "I.Given the nature of the markets – size, characteristics, competitive activities and strategies – what marketing opportunities can this firm identify?" What do they mean by marketing opportunities ?
Let’s start with a description of a MARKET SEGMENT. This is a group of individuals or organizations that shares one or more characteristics. It therefore has similar product needs. A MARKET OPPORTUNITY ANALYSIS describes market segments of interest to the firm, estimates their size and sales potential, and assesses key competitors in these market segments.

I am trying to make a market plan for my marketing class, and the assignment is to cover all 7 elements of the plan but I am unsure what the 7 elements are. can anyone help?!?
The seven basic steps include:

*Describe your niche.
*Identify the marketing tools you will use.
*Articulate your identity.
*Create your budget.
What is marketing plan? Its development and implementation?
Does any body have the best answer in detail and if you have the full marketing plan material?
The content of the marketing plan can change depending upon the business, the author, and the intended target audience. There are lots of great resources, books, and informational sites available to help you with what should be contained in a Marketing Plan.
Mplans.com ( http://www.Mplans.com ) is an informational website maintained by Palo Alto Software that includes market planning advice, tips, as well as free sample plans.
We have many articles on what should be contained in a marketing plan at:
http://www.mplans.com/dpm/allarticles.cfm
Here’s a basic outline of the main points in a typical marketing plan:
1.0 Executive Summary
This is a summary of the main highlights of your plan. The contents of the summary should address target markets, market needs, sales prospects, expenses, and strategy.
2.0 Situation Analysis
The Situation Analysis sets the scene as you develop your marketing plan. This is where you look at your company’s situation and its market. Consider what your company offers and why, what you do well, and why, and introduce your marketing situation and the main components of the marketing plan.
3.0 Marketing Strategy
The strategy chapter normally includes objectives, target market strategies, value propositions, and strategy pyramids.
4.0 Marketing Mix
Marketing mix combines your marketing programs. It includes positioning, pricing, distribution channels, advertising and promotion, service, delivery, and other factors. The toll-free telephone number, the website, the sales literature, the advertising, and many other marketing programs are all part of the marketing mix.
5.0 Financials
This chapter contains your expense budgets, sales forecasts, and breakdowns by category. Normally it is mainly tables and charts, with texts to explain the numbers in them.
6.0 Controls
As your strategy is implemented, you will want to track your results and monitor new development in the internal and external environments. Is your plan on track with your revenue generation objectives? Are the programs accomplishing your goals? Programs that are not working need to be changed. Programs that meet or exceed expectations should be replicated. This is where the value of a dynamic marketing plan benefits you most.
There are also Market Planning products out there that can help you to create and maintain a marketing plan document. Our software, Marketing Plan Pro ( http://paloalto.com/ps/mp/index.cfm ) includes a wizard driven interface that will guide you through the entire process on a step by step basis.
Creating a marketing plan for an interview?
So I’m going on an interview for a start-up company and they want me to create a marketing plan for the company as part of the interview.
My one concern is that I’ve heard stories of people who do that and don’t get hired but then the company steals their ideas. How do I protect myself from this in case I don’t get the job?
i agree, this is total BS. If anything, i would tell them that you have the ability to create such a plan, but have so many questions that need to be addressed, doing so at this stage would be irresponsible.
ie, what is the capacity of the company to deliver? How is the product on a functional standpoint compared to the competition? What is there pricing strategy? What is their branding strategy? How does the competition price and position their product? What are the current sales people capabilities?
this sounds to be like they are fishing for free help, be care full.
i was the vp of a technology company, sales and marketing – we never would have done something so unethical.
