“This software is simple to follow and yet it has greater detail for writing an effective marketing plan.”

“It’s the best tool I’ve invested in during my career. Every marketer owes it to themselves.
Better than any seminar or research study.”
~ Deborah Schall, Long Beach, CA

“I know it saved hundreds of man hours because we didn’t have to start from scratch.”

“We’d done the preliminary work, but it all got scrapped by corporate headquarters. They changed parameters, so I had to work from scratch. I had a week and a half… You had the whole template. It worked like a charm and it’s been terrific! We just stuck in our own ideas and data. I know it saved hundreds of man hours because we didn’t have to start from scratch. The presentation went great, the people I addressed were not marketing people… management, operations, finance, a classic dog & pony when you need a budget for x, rationale, prove why we needed the budget, etc. Excel was easy. For non—marketing people it was a very simple bridge. I’ve seen others that are too complicated with gantt charts etc, and this was easy to for them to relate to the bottom line. Everything was clear, well thought out and and very well founded in good marketing principles.”
~ Renee Domeier, VP Western Region Sales, Goldman Promotions, Thousand Oaks, CA

“It’s a good tool. I attended a marketing seminar at which your software was recommended. We have offered in the past a website requirements analysis and Internet strategy document called an eCASE (eCommerce Assessment Service for Executives) for IBM solutions that required significant hardware and software investment. I am retooling it to take a marketing perspective from requirements analysis, including a competitive analysis, to a website design schema, and suggestions for marketing with estimated budget requirements. I purchased your software for updating our own business-to-business marketing plan and was pleased to find the Internet marketing plan option included. I also appreciate the resource links on your website for industry analysis and other data.”
