By having a marketing plan in place, you greatly increase the chances of success. Marketing plans help you discover key things about your competitors, how you will brand your products or services, what sets you apart from the competition, how you will execute your plan, and how to plan your marketing tactics.

From this, you can easily develop KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) that will drive your business forward.
