ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Marketing plan

A marketing plan is like a map you make to get from one place to another. It spells out where you want to go (your marketing goals) and how you're going to get there (your marketing strategies). It's a written plan that outlines how you will find customers, keep them interested and buy from you. It also explains how you'll measure the success of your marketing efforts. A good marketing plan can help you reach your business goals.
