There are many ways through which the business can booster their sales which includes lowering prices of their products, discounts and also providing high quality products.

This is because of how they present their goods to the final market which is why we should look at a sample marketing plan.

A good marketing plan should be able to recognize its target group.

This will ensure that your business is able to compete even with the changing tactics of marketing.

How your commodity will be distributed should also be outlined in your plan. You can decide whether the customer should buy from your website, through middlemen or your mobile shops. This will ensure that your product meets its intended gap in the market.

Also your pricing policy should be vividly outlined to ensure that it helps you generate enough revenue to keep your business going. It should be designed in such a way that it is not considered too high from close substitute goods and also not too low to render it as of low quality.

Evaluation of the whole plan should be done at a minimum interval of annual basis. Through this you will be able to compare its performance from time and establish any necessary adjustment that should be made to it.
