Developing a marketing plan doesn’t have to be a long, thought-out process. Since it’s mainly to keep yourself on-track when it comes to your business marketing goals (i.e. methods, timeframe, strategies, etc.), something quick and simple will do. The key is to just have some idea of what your plans are when it comes to marketing your business.

A good online resource that can aid you in your marketing plan development is the website MPlans.com.  Created by Palo Alto Software, the site includes lots of sample marketing & business plans, along with how-to articles on business plan writing, marketing plan outlines, lead generation, market research, product marketing, PR & press, and more.
