1. Executive summary. This section is written last but appears first in the plan. It is an overview of the entire plan so that readers can quickly identify the key issues.
2. Environmental Analysis. Provides information about the business’ current situation with respect to the marketing environment, the target market, and the company’s objectives and performance.
3. SWOT Analysis. Examines the company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Utilizes information gathered in the environmental analysis.
4. Marketing objectives. States what the company wants to accomplish through marketing activities, utilizing the SWOT analysis as a guide of where the company stands in the market.

b. The marketing activities that the company can control to meet the needs of the target marker (promotional strategies, product strategies, etc.)
6. Marketing implementation: Outlines how the company will implement the marketing strategies.
7. Performance evaluation. Establishes the standards for how results will be measured and evaluated, and what actions the company should take to reduce the differences between planned and actual performance.
