Helpful Tips

The focus of your marketing plan can be a new product/service idea of your own or an existing product/service that you think deserves its own dedicated campaign. Just dont pick something that youve already seen being actively marketed.

For example, after completing a SWOT analysis for McDonalds, one might propose marketing new concepts like a McVeggie burger or an adult happy meal. Further afield, one might propose a whole new chain of pay-to-visit indoor McPlayground Centers. Or, relative to existing menu offerings, one might suggest a dedicated marketing campaign for say burgers at breakfast or after midnight snacking via the drive-through.

Learn about your brand and then let your imagination run wild. It can be a big idea that will appeal to many of their customers or a very targeted effortyou decide.
