This is what you should do before creating any kind of plan to move forwards.  \nRevisiting your company values and your mission statement can remind you of basics you may have forgotten about in the last few years.  \nIf you don't understand your mission and messaging, how are you going to communicate that to your clients, suppliers or even your own team?  \nBusinesses should not change identity on a frequent basis. However, if it has been a while since you have visited yours, we recommend working out your ideal message, and then, looking at your yearly missions and goals..  \nThe next step is to look at what you have actually done in the last year or so. To do this, we always recommend carrying out an audit of your digital presence  \nIn order to understand how to to get to where you want to be, you should understand where you are currently at.  \nAn audit of your current activities involves asking questions such as:  \nWhere are you are currently communicating? What is your content like?  \nWhat methods of communication have worked best to engage with your potential clients?  \nWhat posts/articles have performed well for you in the past?  \nHave you google d yourself? What do you wish came up? What doesn't come up?  \nWe always recommend creating a table ora checklist with these questions.  \nAnd what better time to do this than ahead of the New Year?  \nExample Audit  \n What is our company mission?  \n What is our brand's tone of voice (TOV)?  \n What are our company values?  \n Are our branding, content and messaging aligned with these?  \n What channels should I keep working on?  \n When I google our business, what comes up? Could a lead find us on here?  \n02  \nMeet your Competition.  \nOne step that is commonly skipped when creating a new plan, is refreshing your knowledge on the competition.  \nTo fully understand your market and where you stand, you need to look at the businesses you are competing against. This involves researching both direct and indirect competitors to gain an insight into their products, services, sales and marketing tactics so that you can learn what is working for them, ","cbCaimmJ8sbKOPE7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimmJ8sbKOPE7","pdf",1862829,14,"English","# New year, new you...(not quite)\n## Revisit company values and mission statement\n## Audit your digital presence\n# Meet your Competition\n## Benefits of competitor analysis\n# But focus on your Target Audience...\n## Create buyer persona profiles\n# Set your Goals\n# Choose your Channels\n# Build a Plan\n# Your very own 2025 Marketing Plan Template","[{\"question\":\"Why does a business need a marketing plan for 2025?\",\"answer\":\"A marketing plan helps clarify where the business is now, define goals, and align strategies so daily activities support those goals efficiently.\"},{\"question\":\"What should be included in a digital presence audit?\",\"answer\":\"The audit asks where the business communicates, what content looks like, which methods engage potential clients best, which posts performed well, and what appears when searching the business online.\"},{\"question\":\"How does competitor analysis benefit marketing strategy?\",\"answer\":\"Competitor analysis helps identify a unique value proposition, provides a benchmark for measuring growth, reveals market trends, and can uncover what competitors are missing so the business can respond with better positioning.\"}]","Marketing Plan 2025 Guide - 5 steps | PDF",1789163196,5,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":100},[101,104,108,112,117,122,127,132,136],{"id":86,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},90,"presentations",{"id":55,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},"Resumes",80,"resumes",{"id":92,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},"Invoices",70,"invoices",{"id":113,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},15,"Posters",60,"posters",{"id":118,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},16,"Social Media",50,"social-media",{"id":123,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},17,"Forms",40,"forms",{"id":128,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":129,"show_sort_weight":130,"slug":131},18,"Letters",30,"letters",{"id":133,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":134,"show_sort_weight":98,"slug":135},21,"Paper Templates","papers-templates",{"id":137,"doc_module":22,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":138,"show_sort_weight":4,"slug":139},158,"General","general-158"]
