Just Published: Free Small Business Marketing Plan Guide For Service Providers

May 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Krista Baker, founder of Morningstar Marketing Coach LLC, today announced the publication of a new complimentary 45-page e-book titled The Small Business Marketing Plan Guide.

Krista provides practical marketing tools and strategies for small businesses who offer professional services and who want to generate high quality leads without spending a fortune on advertising and promotion.

“I'm asked all the time, 'Where should I start?'” says Krista Baker. “Small business marketing can be overwhelming for many people. I wanted to create a free guide that would help them see the big picture. In the guide, I show readers exactly which factors matter in marketing and how they can determine which marketing tactics will be effective for winning new clients."

In Small Business Marketing Plan Guide, Krista highlights the six steps to creating an actionable marketing plan in just a few hours:

Step 1 - Set Campaign Goals
Step 2 - Identify Your Target Audience
Step 3 - Create a Marketing Message
Step 4 - Create Education-Based Marketing Materials
Step 5 - Develop a Referral System
Step 6 - Create Your Monthly Marketing Plan

“Many marketing books focus on writing complicated 40-page plans,'” says Krista Baker. "What small business owners need is a way to think about marketing without getting overwhelmed or spending weeks doing market research. I've given them a fill-in-the-blanks template to help them create actionable steps they can do right now."

The Small Business Marketing Plan Guide offers ten pages of exercises and worksheets, including a two-page fill-in-the-blank worksheet that small business owners can use to create their monthly marketing plan and keep track of their results.
