Product Marketing Plan Draft
The Product Marketing Plan allows you to select a single product and make an adapted version of that product or create your own product and write a plan explaining how you will market it. For an example of a company’s marketing plan, you can refer to pp. 61-65 in your textbook. Your Course Resources also gives you a template and a real example of a Product Marketing Plan to review. The NU Library has put together some resources for you to learn more about market plans in the enclosed video:
- “Marketing Plans” (2:52) – Video Link
Your plan will include the following sections:
- Executive Summary
- Situation Analysis
- SWOT/TOWS
- Marketing Strategy
- Marketing Promotion/Tactics
- Financials
- Controls
- Implementation
- Resources
To get started with your research you can start by going to the NU Library’s marketing research guide:
If you need assistance with your marketing plan, reach out to our SOBM librarian, Summer Krstevska, at skrstevska@nu.edu or 858-541-7982.
Your paper will be 7-8 pages (or it could be longer) and explain your product and the other 4 P’s: promotion, place and price. You will receive feedback from the Week 3 draft in order to complete in Week 4.
Original work is expected. Grammar and spelling will be graded also. If you would like to work on a product/service from your current employment that is ok. If you can’t decide what to write on, you can also select a Cause and create a fund raising event for your Product.

Please note that your Week 3 grade is based on the draft and that it is not a guarantee of a high grade on the final plan.
