Carnival of Entrepreneurs #36: August 27, 2007

The plan should cover one year. For small companies, this is often the best way to think about marketing. Things change, people leave, markets evolve, customers come and go. Later on we suggest creating a section of your plan that addresses the medium-term future–two to four years down the road. But the bulk of your plan should focus on the coming year.

You should allow yourself a couple of months to write the plan, even if it’s only a few pages long. Developing the plan is the “heavy lifting” of marketing. While executing the plan has its challenges, deciding what to do and how to do it is marketing’s greatest challenge. Most marketing plans kick off with the first of the year or with the opening of your fiscal year if it’s different.

Over the coming weeks we will be covering the various sections of writing a marketing plan. These sections include:
Part 1 – Plan Purpose and Mission
Part 2 – Situational Analysis
Part 3 – Marketing Strategy and Objectives
Part 4 – Tactical Programs
Part 5 – Budgets, Performance Analysis and Implementation
Part 6 – Additional Considerations

There will be sub-sections in each of the parts as we dive deep into the sections and I look forward to your feedback and input on experiences you have had in putting one of these plans together.

Writing a Marketing Plan – Series Overview

After growing this aspect of the business, Clarence has launched GroupSites which allow people to create public social networks and manage a personal and business profile allowing cleaner identity management.

Below is a video that explains the site in more detail.

One interesting feature is that they will be creating a directory of the public social networks so people can find similar interests and join them without creating redundant Groupsites. As an entrepreneur, Clarence is sharp and savvy with a few ventures under his belt. This has allowed him to bootstrap and get the company to near profitability with a small seed investment. The company is currently preparing to raise a Series A round.

This week, we will be publishing an interview with Clarence that will dive into his experience, why he started CollectiveX and what advice he can offer fellow entrepreneurs.

August 7th, 2007
A frequent question we get from managers at all levels is how to motivate consistent high performance from others.

In today’s business environment, you can’t force anyone to do anything.

As a manager, you need to think of yourself as leading a volunteer army. In the words of President Dwight Eisenhower, you need to get people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.

The fact is, psychological research proves that praise and appreciation is far more effective than threats or punishment regardless of what you want people to do.

When people want to do something they tend to put in more and better effort than if they believe that they have to do it. And in this issue we share a motivation strategy that you can use to encourage this kind of voluntary contribution from everyone around you.”
