For this assignment, use the Unit 6 Assignment Template to create a marketing
For this assignment, use the Unit 6 Assignment Template to create a marketing plan for a nonprofit organization. You can use a real organization in your community or create a fictional organization. If you create a fictional organization, you can choose what population is being served and what services are offered.
Please address each of the following:
Target Market
To develop an effective marketing plan for an organization, it is first necessary to identify the target markets. If you serve only one very specific population, then the task of segmenting the client market would not be that difficult, but many organizations provide multiple program services for a variety of populations.
Identify each of the segments of the client market, including donor demographics, and list each of them.
Specify how your organization plans to reach each target audience group identified.
Mission and Goal Statement
The marketing plan should tie specifically to accomplishing the mission and goal. If you are using an actual nonprofit organization, you can use their mission statement and revise it to align with marketing plan goals.
Prepare a mission and goal statement that clearly defines the overall purpose of the organization, including what it is that your organization hopes to accomplish for the clients you serve.
Set Outcome Objectives
Define specific and measurable outcome objectives for each target audience.
What do you want the results to be of your marketing activities?
How many clients do you want to serve in the coming year?
What kinds of results do you expect to see with the organization’s stakeholders?
How much money will you need to raise this year?
How many volunteer hours do you hope to log?
Develop Strategies Through Process Objectives
Apply organizational management strategies to identify the steps you can take to accomplish your outcome objectives.
What will you need to do to accomplish results you desire?
What steps will you take to reach this outcome objective?
Action Plan
The action plan should be written in a manner that makes it easy to determine who is to do what by when.
How will your organization go about implementing the defined marketing strategies identified in the process objectives?
Who is responsible for each component of the plan?
What is the timeline for each activity to be implemented?
Budget
How is the marketing plan built into the organization’s budget?
What resources will be allocated to the marketing plan?
Monitoring
How will you evaluate your progress and make any necessary adjustments to the plan?
What is the system for evaluation of both outcome and process objectives?
Who is responsible for seeing that reporting and review procedures are followed?
How will progress be measured?
