Most business people agree that good planning is essential for success.

Even so, it is surprising how many companies don't create a marketing plan to generate and manage their customers.

A marketing plan is a detailed roadmap that outlines all your marketing strategies, tactics, activities, costs and projected results over a period of time. The plan keeps you focused on specific goals and it's a critical resource for your entire company.

Are you focused on specific goals?

It takes time to develop a solid plan, but it's important because it ties all your activities to tangible goals. It's also a great opportunity to focus on the future, generate new ideas, and inspire your team. Even a simple plan is better than none, but when you invest more effort up front, you'll have a better roadmap toward your goals.

Key steps to developing a plan:

• Set your annual goals
• Highlight your competitive position, value proposition and brand strategy
• Outline any plans for your products and services
