Do you take the time each year to map out a cohesive strategy for the upcoming year? Will next year be business as usual and simply repeat the efforts done in previous years without regard to the success of these strategies? Are you simply going to read a few blogs highlighting <a href=\"https:\/\/webolutionsmarketingagency.com\/6-digital-marketing-trends-for-2022\/\">current marketing trends<\/a> and implement the key talking points you find in them?<\/p>\n<p>Your marketing efforts are critical to the success of your business. They are the primary way to connect with your audience, <a href=\"https:\/\/webolutionsmarketingagency.com\/branding-services\/brand-strategy\/\">grow your brand<\/a> and establish yourself as a trusted industry leader. However, these things don\u2019t happen on their own. It takes a well planned, cohesive marketing strategy to ensure your precious resources \u2013 both financial and manpower \u2013 are used wisely and maximize the return on your investment.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-49115\" src=\"https:\/\/webolutionsmarketingagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/marketing-planning.jpg\" alt=\"executive team conducting annual marketing planning\" width=\"450\" height=\"289\" \/>We\u2019re firmly in the fourth quarter of the year, and this is the time to conduct annual planning. While it\u2019s important to invest the time in an annual plan that addresses your overall business goals, you also need to create a specific annual marketing plan that will help you achieve these overarching business initiatives. Ideally, this plan should be finalized and ready to go at the start of January so that you can hit the ground running next year. In order for that to happen, you need to begin your annual marketing planning now.<\/p>\n<p>At Webolutions, our <a href=\"https:\/\/webolutionsmarketingagency.com\/culture-guide\/\">purpose<\/a> is To Empower Passionate People to Thrive. This drives everything we do for our clients, and it has compelled us to go beyond simply providing <a href=\"https:\/\/webolutionsmarketingagency.com\/marketing-strategy-services\/\">marketing services<\/a>. In order to ensure our efforts generate the best possible results for our clients, we actively engage them in an <a href=\"https:\/\/webolutionsmarketingagency.com\/annual-planning-roadmap-your-guide-to-greater-success\/\">annual planning process<\/a> each year which helps them crystalize their goals for their marketing efforts. This plan then forms the blueprint for our ongoing recommendations as the year progresses.<\/p>\n<p>In order to better understand what is involved in annual marketing planning, we recommend reading the following article from HubSpot:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/marketing-plan-template-generator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5 Steps to Create an Outstanding Marketing Plan<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Key Takeaways from this Article<\/h2>\n<p>This article breaks down the process of creating your annual marketing plan into three parts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Outlining your marketing plan<\/li>\n<li>Creating your marketing plan<\/li>\n<li>Creating a marketing plan timeline<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While there is significant overlap between the components of these parts, it\u2019s beneficial to examine each one separately.<\/p>\n<h3>Outlining Your Marketing Plan<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-49116\" src=\"https:\/\/webolutionsmarketingagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/marketing-plannng-meeting.jpg\" alt=\"woman conducting annual marketing planning meeting\" width=\"450\" height=\"300\" \/>The more granular you get in your marketing plan outline, the easier it will be to create and implement this plan. In addition, having a strong outline will provide important guidance regarding the metrics you should use to assess the success of your efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Your marketing plan outline should include the following elements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Business summary \u2013<\/strong> A summary of your organization that includes your company name, where you\u2019re headquartered and your mission statement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Business initiatives \u2013<\/strong> This should focus on specific initiatives related to marketing as opposed to big-picture company initiatives.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Customer analysis \u2013<\/strong> Conduct some market research to build your buyer personas (a fictional description of the traits associated with your ideal customer).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Competitor analysis \u2013<\/strong> As part of your market research, evaluate your primary competitors to more clearly understand what they do well and potential opportunities for you to provide value to your customers\/clients that they do not.<\/li>\n<li><strong>SWOT analysis \u2013<\/strong> Conduct a deep dive into your business to identify your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The strengths and weaknesses should focus on internal items specific to your company, while opportunities and threats should focus on external items related to the state of the world today.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Market strategy \u2013<\/strong> Based on the legwork completed in the previous steps, create a plan for how your business should compete in your market. This can include items such as product\/service mix, price, process, and more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Budget \u2013<\/strong> Determine how much money your company is going to dedicate to the marketing team in order to pursue the initiatives and goals you\u2019ve established in this outline.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marketing channels \u2013<\/strong> Identify the marketing channels you\u2019ll use to publish the content that will educate your audience, convey your brand story, and generate leads.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Financial projections \u2013<\/strong> Based on the budget you set and the marketing channels you choose, you can develop financial projections that establish your expected ROI for your marketing efforts. While these won\u2019t be 100% accurate, they will provide a useful guide to measure your results against over the coming year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: right;\">See our article: <a href=\"https:\/\/webolutionsmarketingagency.com\/what-you-need-to-know-to-get-your-2020-marketing-budget-approved\/\">How to Get Your Marketing Budget Approved<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n    <section class=\"cta-thin side-left spacing-top-default\">\n\n        <div class=\"container\">\n\n            <div class=\"inner bg-dark\">\n                \n                <div class=\"image-container position-center-center\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"483\" src=\"https:\/\/webolutionsmarketingagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FAQs.jpg\" class=\"cover\" alt=\"Webolutions Digital Marketing Agency Denver, Colorado\" srcset=\"https:\/\/webolutionsmarketingagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FAQs.jpg 724w, https:\/\/webolutionsmarketingagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/FAQs-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/div>\n                \n                <div class=\"sub-content dark\">\n\n                    <h2>FREE Annual Planning Consultation with a Webolutions Expert<\/h2>\n\n                    <div class=\"content\">Since 1994, we've helped literally thousands of businesses locally and nationwide to achieve their business goals.

As part of this process, identify what you can offer that gives your company a competitive advantage and make you stand apart from others in your industry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Define your target audience \u2013<\/strong> Use the buyer personas created during the outline phase to understand what your ideal customer wants. This information can be used to help you define your goals (to be created in the next step).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Write SMART goals \u2013<\/strong> You can\u2019t improve the ROI on your marketing efforts without a clear understanding of your goals. Use the information generated from your situation analysis and defining your target audience to create SMART goals. SMART stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound. The SMART goals you establish will be used to identify the best tactics to achieve these goals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Analyze your tactics \u2013<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve defined your goals, determine which marketing tactics will most effectively achieve these goals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Set your budget \u2013 <\/strong>Before you begin implementing the tactics identified in step 4, you\u2019ll need to set your budget for each tactic. This budget should include the time, financial resources, assets, and manpower required to implement the tactics in your marketing plan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Creating Your Marketing Plan Timeline<\/h3>\n<p>Since this is an annual plan, you need to establish a timeline for implementing the different components of this plan. This allows your team to understand all appropriate deadlines for the projects, campaigns and events associated with your marketing plan. If you prefer greater granularity, you can break up this timeline on a quarterly basis.<\/p>\n<p>When creating deadlines for the components of your marketing plan, make sure to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Estimate how long each task will take<\/li>\n<li>Account for holidays and other special events which may impact the ability of your team to complete these tasks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you work through the tasks in your plan, track the time it takes to complete them. This will allow you to compare the actual time to your time estimates to determine how accurate your estimates are. If necessary, you may need to adjust some of your upcoming deadlines to reflect the actual amount of time these tasks have taken to complete.<\/p>\n<h3>Use Pre-Existing Templates to Organize Your Efforts<\/h3>\n<p>The article also provides several marketing plan templates you can use as you work through this three-stage process. Using one of these templates may help you stay organized and ensure you don\u2019t skip an important step in the process.<\/p>\n<h2>Additional Resources to Help You Understand How to Conduct Annual Marketing Planning<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-49118\" src=\"https:\/\/webolutionsmarketingagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/marketing-planning-2.jpg\" alt=\"annual marketing planning\" width=\"450\" height=\"288\" \/>We recommend the following articles to further expand your knowledge of how to conduct your annual marketing planning.
