Marketing planning, the long and the short of it!

Marketing planning, the long and the short of it!

“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail"

The quote above by Benjamin Franklin seems like an apt way to kick off this newsletter, as I'm talking about marketing planning.?I’m certainly a fan of a plan, and as we roar into ’23, I took myself away to a hotel recently to spend a day writing up my marketing plan for the coming year. It's not totally finished but almost there.

The sesssion was much needed as I had so many ideas and thoughts swilling around in my mind and it was time to get them written down and rationalised into some sort of order.

Have you done your planning for 2023? What structure did you follow? Any particular things you're planning to stop, keep, or start? DM me and do let me know.? And of course, I'd love to hear what you think of this newsletter and feel free to share it with others who may find it valuable.

A long term plan is essential but it should never be so rigid that it can't adapt to changes in circumstances, Ayo. A world pandemic for example!
