MARKETING PLAN OUTLINE 
 Executive Summary 
o Finish your marketing plan first before writing the executive summary. Why? Because the executive summary is the “summary” of the marketing plan. What would you write in this part if you don’t have something to summarize first. o Contents of the executive summary includes brief information into the business’ industry, the business itself (the business’ history, vision, mission, philosophy, and their target market and competitors), the business’ marketing problems, the summary of the SWOT analysis, and the brief overview of the formulated marketing strategies complete with paragraphs talking about the duration of the marketing strategies and the costs that will be incurred in the process. 
 Current Marketing Situation 
o Market description review: Analyze the industry in which the business is operating in. What are the current trends? What are the industry statistics (growth rate, etc.)? You can visit Euromonitor International or trendwatching.com to get these trends and statistics; o Competition review: List them down your competitors one by one followed by a short outline on the competitor’s business history, their geographical coverage, and their current observed marketing strategies. You can also include a competitive profile matrix to illustrate the business and its competitors better;
