For those small businesses and start ups that don’t have the money to spend to hire a marketing firm or consultant to develop a plan for them, mPlan seems like it might be a good starting point. To ensure your marketing plan will truly give you the results you desire and help you meet your business objectives and goals, having a marketing resource - whether that be an employee, firm or consultant - to hold you accountable and see that you accomplish what you have outlined is priceless. I’ve seen too many “plans’ written by business owners who invest time to get it right, but then the plan sits on the shelf and collects dust.
