Questions?
Thank you!
Building a
Marketing Plan
Align with Chapter goals
for the greatest impact.
Marketing Plans are Awesome
Before you build a plan, you need to answer some key
questions.
1. Who
do we want to be? (vision/mission)
2. What’s going on in our market? (UVP/CTA)
3. Who are we talking to? (personas)
4. What are our goals? (business objectives)
5. How will we reach them? (strategy)
6. What do we need to do to make it happen? (tactics)
7. How will we know it worked? (metrics)
8. When will we do it? (calendar)
9. How much investment is required? (budget)
60
© APICS Confidential and Proprietary
What do you want to be and do?
Most of you already have formal statements, think of
this as a shortcut. Here are some ideas…




The place to be for supply chain professionals in [town/city],
where members come to learn, network and grow
The best local resource for supply chain, operations and
logistics education and certification programs
The launching pad for future supply chain leaders that
nurtures students and young professionals
Achieve “platinum” chapter status for first time
This statement should provide focus for your year – or
several years - and plan.
61

Market Scan
Consider doing a competitive review and a general
assessment of local market conditions.
 Do you have competitors?
– Local training companies, clubs/societies that vie for members or
training budgets? (This is important because you want to sell against
them, position against them, and offer distinct programming; or you
may want to collaborate)
– Look at their websites, offerings, marketing, etc. How can yours be
different and better?
 Market conditions are important
– New businesses, growing industries, “meccas”
– Stagnant situations, uncertainty, etc. can all help positioning
 Understanding your market and how you can help will make
your marketing better
