Marketing Plan Builder How it WorksSo, how do you actually use it?

There are no new programs to learn — edit the sections using your familiar Microsoft® Word word-processing software.

  • Your company information automatically fills-in, then you can easily edit to suit your unique business.
  • Dive in and work where you are inspired — the system keeps you organized
  • Drag & drop to sort the sections in any order to your liking.

A better software context for making marketing decisions

Some software products present you with a screen and some check boxes or radio buttons expecting you to make your decisions then and there with the system taking over to produce your marketing plan. We think that is more difficult for you as well as a bit dangerous — at JIAN we look for “beyond the buttons” solutions and ideas that may actually work better for your company.

First, you need to be shown the bigger picture, offered some choices and provided with thorough explanations before you commit your business to a certain choice. Therefore, we don’t limit you to checkboxes and radio buttons, instead, we provide the entire marketing plan where you can read the options and edit the text your way. Throughout, we provide expert comments explaining each choice and making suggestions to consider for each section within the context of your entire marketing plan.

A very practical and time-saving approach to marketing planning.
