Direct Mail

Response:

To develop a good strategic plan it is important for you to clearly distinguish between strategies and tactics. A strategy is a broad method of attaining or helping to achieve a goal.

For example, if one of your goals is to attain a 50% share of your local market, a marketing strategy would be an advertising campaign, and tactics would be to use network TV, direct mail, Internet/Intranet, event Planning and Promotional items. Another strategy would be to expand geographically, and tactics could include opening additional offices, and providing your services through alternative distribution channels such as lease departments in retail stores, direct mail and Internet.

Please see sample TACTICAL PLAN attached as well as one below (which is more detailed), for you to use as an exemplars for your final copy.

FINAL COMMENTS I HOPE THIS HELPS AND TAKE CARE.
