OK, here we are – the end of the course and we’re ready to play for the big points. Your Marketing Plan should be submitted as ONE MS Word document with all the components you have worked on for the last six weeks. In addition to the components themselves, make sure you have a cover page and a table of contents.
You have seen this before, but you can Click Here to access the Project Plan document that will walk you step-by-step through what should be in your final submission. Be sure to submit your plan to Chalk and Wire – look for the little “Box and Down Arrow” symbol.
As the final step in your marketing plan, you will create a narrated PowerPoint presentation. Your presentation should be about 7-8 minutes long and cover all the major parts of your project.
