Marketing Plan – Control And Exhibits

Write a minimum of 2 pages for the Control and Exhibits portions for your Marketing Plan to address the situation in the case study. See attached Case Study.

For Control:

1. Adequate Goal Progress – Explain how you will track progress toward the specific measurable goals you established. No generic discussion allowed! For example, if you want to attract more of your target market, establish specific numbers you want to see by certain dates. A marketer cannot wait for the end of a marketing campaign to judge whether it has been successful.

2. Performance Gap Management Identify specific areas where the organizations performance is not what you want it to be. Be specific! Explain how you will monitor these areas to ensure that the Marketing Plan is creating the desired results.

3. Environmental Analysis The Opportunities and Threats are a description of the external factors that can affect the success of the Marketing Plan. Opportunities should not be a list of the actions you can take, but an identification of the relevant external factors that can contribute to your success. An example would be a growing population. Threats are external factors that can hinder your success, such as the competition.

For Exhibits:

The Exhibits are visual representations of relevant data. They are not text descriptions. You can use charts, graphs, tables, or other visual items.

1. Market Data create several visuals that communicate relevant data about the market. Examples include the total population, the target market, etc.

2. Value Analysis Show what has value to a specific group, such as the doctors to be recruited or the target patients. Be specific about the greatest value from their perspective.

3. Marketing Mix use a graphic to show what your specific marketing mix will be, and who it will be targeted at.

4. Organizing the exhibits provide enough of an explanation of each exhibit that a top manager would understand its relevance to the marketing plan. Do not just throw a bunch of graphics into the plan. You do not need to cover all of the items listed.
