Marketing has become a key issue for companies that are trying to conquer new markets because it keeps their brand current and helps to combat changing challenges and opportunities that present themselves in business.
A company without a marketing plan is like a car without an engine or a ship without a clear destination… it just will not get anywhere. This is why a strong marketing department is responsible for planning the success of the entire company.
According to a survey by Marketo in 2013, 81% of companies that employ over a thousand employees have specific marketing strategies.
So if a marketing plan is so important to see your business grow, you need to start create one even if it will require future adjustments.
