Here’s why and how to use this annual marketing plan template:  \n• Because you have a lot going on  \n• You’re using an inbound marketing strategy, right? If so, that will help because then you have target personas, a buyer journey, competitive advantage and other “background”information to guide you.  \n• If you’re curious what should be in your guiding inbound marketing strategy, check out this article. Your strategy should be a “playbook” of sorts that you’d put together as part of your foundational inbound marketing program and revisit at least annually as part of your planning process to ensure it’s still current. Think of it as the “why” behind your tactical plans.  \nWhat’s in this template?  \nI’m glad you asked. Here are the sections we’ve laid out for you to work in. This is an editable document, so feel free to adapt it to your company’s needs. The sections and examples we’ve provided are meant to give you an efficient framework to create your own annual inbound marketing plan. In order to do that, we recommend including the following:  \n• Executive Summary—Business and Marketing Performance Review  \n• S.M.A.R.T. Business & Marketing Goals for the Coming Year  \n• Marketing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)  \n• High-Level Marketing Initiatives & Plan Components  \n• Budget Allocation  \n• Measuring & Reporting Progress Throughout the Year  \n2 [COMPANY NAME] | ANNUAL INBOUND MARKETING PLAN | [DATE]  \n1. Executive Summary—Business and Marketing Performance Review  \nStart by reviewing the current year’s business performance and marketing performance, and identify key takeaways that will affect your marketing efforts going forward.  \nBusiness Performance Review:  \nReport on the state of key business growth/profitability measures for the current year versus the prior year, such as: new business generated (number of customers and revenue), gross revenue, gross profit, gross margin, net profit before taxes, and units/pounds/parts sold.  \nMarketing Performance Review:  \nReview the results your current marketing efforts have generated based on your current year marketing goals and KPIs. Below, summarize what you’ve learned, creating buckets to identify which efforts you should continue (and perhaps double down on), which you should stop, and which you should start doing.  \n\n| CURRENT TACTIC | GENERAL RESULTS / EFFECTIVENESS OF TACTIC | CONTINUE | STOP | START\u003Cbr>DOING |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Ex: Business Blog | 50% of leads originated through blog/organic search | Increase frequency and organize around topic clusters for more SEO power |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n\n3  \n[COMPANY NAME] | ANNUAL INBOUND MARKETING PLAN | [DATE]  \n2. Business & Marketing Goals for [Year]  \nGoals, objectives and key performance indicators (KPIs) are a declaration of where you want your business togo in the coming year. In filling out this section of your plan, list S. M.A. R.T. business goals (Specific,  \nMeasurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound) for the coming year. Then list S. M.A. R.T. marketing goals that align with (will help you achieve) the business goals.  \nWhen you’ve done that, you can move onto KPIs. These are the marketing and sales performance indicators that you’ll track throughout the year to monitor the progress of your plan, and give you data that will help you determine focus areas in your Quarterly Roadmaps.  \n\n| SPECIFIC BUSINESS GOAL | HOW WILL WE MEASURE IT? | IS THE GOAL ATTAINABLE? | IS THE GOAL RELEVANT TO MY BUSINESS? | BY WHEN DO WE WANT TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL? |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Ex: Close $2M in revenue from new customers | closed sales | yes-this represents an 11% increase over last year; this year was a 9% increase over the prior year | yes | End ","cbCaijwukX4hrL2Q","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijwukX4hrL2Q","pdf",297154,"English","# Introduction\n## Sections in the template\n# Executive Summary—Business and Marketing Performance Review\n## Business Performance Review\n## Marketing Performance Review\n# Business & Marketing Goals for [Year]\n## S.M.A.R.T. business and marketing goals\n## Marketing KPIs\n# Key Initiatives & Plan Components\n## Using the flywheel (Attract, Engage, Delight)","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this annual inbound marketing plan template?\",\"answer\":\"It provides an editable framework to create an annual inbound marketing plan by connecting business and marketing goals to KPIs and initiatives, and by revisiting the plan at least annually.\"},{\"question\":\"What should be included in the executive summary?\",\"answer\":\"It should summarize business performance and marketing performance results, highlighting key takeaways and organizing efforts into buckets for continue, stop, and start doing.\"},{\"question\":\"How are goals and KPIs used in the plan?\",\"answer\":\"The plan has you set S.M.A.R.T. business goals and aligned S.M.A.R.T. marketing goals, then define marketing and sales KPIs to track progress throughout the year.\"}]","Annual Inbound Marketing Plan Template - Use as a guide | PDF",1789243698]
