What is an Annual Marketing Plan?

An annual marketing plan is more than listing your business and marketing priorities. It is mapping out what you would like to achieve and how you will achieve it. It is having a deeper understanding of the purpose behind what you would like to accomplish. It is asking yourself: why are we doing what we are doing? It is taking a step back to allow yourself to be thoughtful and strategic.
