Becky McRay over at Small Business Survival likes to keep things real. In her new post, Simplified Marketing Plans for the Real World, Becky tackles a realistic way for small business owners (and Company of One types like you reading Lifehack.org) to manage their marketing tasks:

Simplified Marketing Plan Outline

  1. 1. Name and describe each market
  2. 2. Tell what methods you will use to reach them
  3. 3. Establish the cost in time and in money
  4. 4. Mesh this with your business plan

The plan is really simple. It has to be, so that you will actually take the time to think about it, create it, and then use it.

There’s a neat part down at the bottom talking about telephone call tracking. I copy/pasted that right away for use. The rest of the article is equally immediately useful. Check it out.

    Great stuff, great advice.  Blogging (if you’ve never done it before) is like buying a new car, only this time switching brands…Your amazed at how many of the cars are the same as yours now that you have one….They’ve always been there and nothing has been added except your more focused, probably your wanting to make sure yours is as nice or wanting to pick up trick little idea’s to do to yours.  Seems like the same deal here…now that your blogging I know that I’m amazed at just how much there is to it and all the little rules and regs, I gotta long way to go I’m still trying to figure out how to make my theme more of a magazine layout. I’m announcer that does grass roots motorsports and I try and write a race reacap after every event, and I still dont understand fully yet the tag deal and how to pick the best ones with attracting a bunch of stuff that you dont want..tags, categories kind of both the same yet different type of deal…But so far it has been and adventure and thanks to folks like yourself who give good clear concise advice to us blogging challenged folks, the adventure has been and educational one as well as fun…More education can never hurt anyone regardless of how minute we may feel it is.

    Thanks so much for your efforts and keep up the good work…It’s greatly appreiciated at least by me.
