 Top 54 Marketing Plan Software Tools and Apps: The Best Apps and Tools to Develop Effective Marketing Plans

marketing plan software - by Angela Stringfellow

The old adage, “If you fail to plan, you plan to fail” fits nearly any aspect of life. But, failing to plan your marketing strategy is a costly mistake that businesses and marketers cannot afford to make. Typically, a marketing plan describes an organization’s advertising and marketing efforts for the coming year. Most marketing plans include a statement of the marketing situation, a budget for marketing activities, a discussion of target markets and company position, and a description of the intended marketing mix to reach marketing goals. The marketing plan is just as important as the business plan.
