Today I want to talk about the importance of a 90 Day Plan, we are just coming up to the last 90 days of 2010! Have you planned for it? What are you forecasting? or are you scratching your head saying, I don't know where the year has gone! Not much point now, people will only be thinking of Thanksgiving and Christmas.
As an entrepreneur every, National Holiday, market day, or celebration is a time to incorporate into your marketing plan, we have 93 days left in this year, so still time to get your plan together. Where do you advertise? How much do you have in a marketing budget? Ok I can hear you saying, that is great for multi national, but I am a 1 man band! So am I, but starting to think outside the box a little is important.
Even with no budget there are still lots of things to look at, local fayres, bazzars, clubs, go and do a talk with a great offer for Xmas. Local shop advertising is usually for pennies, link up with a charity you often get free advertising that way. Buddy up with somebody to do back to back advertising half the cost.
There are so many choices, NO ONE can do them all!! sit and work out who your audience is, where they are likely to be, so how can you most effectively get your name and products to them. Don't be too general in this matter, the smaller the buget the tighter the niche needs to be. One hit for advertising is no good, you will be throwing your money away. You have to follow through, usually a minimum of 4 weeks, or 3 monthly editions.
Being proactive, be out and about, be seen, talk to people networking is very powerful. Whether you are physically or cyberly marketing, check on your adverts regularly and know what other people in your field are doing. The 90 Day Plan gives you the basic structure then for a DMO (daily method of operation) depending on how you are going to market, plan your hours around it.
Being an entrepreneur is in a huge part being organised and following plans, without them you are going to get side tracked and do nothing. So, now you have 4 days to get a plan into shape, to get the best out of your last 90 days of 2010. Make the most of this year and launch yourself into 2011 with a BANG!
