As part of your Marketing Plan, you are required to create a promotional plan as described in the instructions. There are two parts: 1. A chart that explains the action item as shown in the following slide 2. Mock-ups of your ads or promotional materials as shown in the following examples As you’ll see, most of these are nothing more than PowerPoint slides created by students like yourself taking MKT 301. You are not expected to be design experts or graphic artists. Your instructor simply wants to see that you can demonstrate the concept of matching message, imagery, and choice of media to your target audience. Be creative and have some fun with this!

Project Action Item Name Action ItemWhat is the action item? Usually a sentence will be adequate. Description This should be a very specific and detailed description of the action item including, but not limited to, the medium, message, theme, visuals, activities and any other relevant information. The description should be sufficiently detailed that the item could be implemented based solely this information. The description of your action item is the most important part of the action plan. For example, writing that you are going to run a TV commercial is not acceptable. You must describe in detail what the commercial will be about, the theme, length, style and general content. This would apply to other mediums as well. ObjectiveWhat do you hope to accomplish with this action item. Be specific. Target MarketWhat segment are you targeting? You need to be specific but concise. Budget How much will this action item cost your firm? This need not be exact as this can be complicated. However, if you search the Net you will find examples of advertising costs. MetricHow will you measure the success of the action item?
