Are customers buying from you? Are they buying enough or could they do more?
Are you sending out the right message to your customers and prospects?
Are your prospects aware of your business and what you do?
Are you using the right marketing tools to reach out to your audience?
Are you following up on leads and nurturing relationships?
Is your marketing hit and miss or is it targeted and regular?
Are you using the whole marketing mix or are you relying on just one tool such as advertising or just WOM?
Do you have a marketing plan in place for 2016?
So why is marketing planning important to a business? If you haven't set any objectives for your company and your marketing activities for the next year, then how can you decide at the end of the year if you have achieved what you set out to do?
