Relation to text This slide relates to material on pp. 25 of the text which discusses the marketing plan.

A detailed situation analysis, which includes an internal marketing audit and review and an external analysis of the market competition and environmental factors.
Specific marketing objectives that provide direction, a time frame for marketing activities, and a mechanism for measuring performance.
A marketing strategy and program that includes selection of target markets and plans for the four elements of the marketing mix
A program for implementing the strategy, including determining specific tasks to be performed and responsibilities.
A process for monitoring and evaluating performance and providing feedback so proper control can be maintained and necessary changes can be made in the overall marketing strategies and tactics.
Use of this slide This slide can be used to explain the importance of marketing planning is in the development of an IMC program and how good IMC planning begins with a review of the overall marketing plan and objectives.
