Before you begin, please ensure you have selected your business from the list of businesses provided for your Marketing Plan!
A marketing plan is a key part of business success. You will begin writing your marketing plan by naming and describing the company for which you are preparing this plan. You will then move on to explain the purpose of a marketing plan, the mission of that business, and its competitive advantage.
Prepare this part of the plan in a Word document, using APA style. The plan should be approximately 2 pages long, not including the cover page and references page.You should use at least two resources, one of which is the company's website. (Remember: Your final plan in Unit 5 must show at least 4 resources.)
