Some common parameters to be included in any kind of marketing plans:
#1 Budget for Advertising
Budget is the most important parameter that decides the final outcome of any advertising campaigns. That is budget which defines the actual limits of expenditures, time frame, and scope/range of the advertising. So, decide your budget and plan your campaigns accordingly. Everything else comes later.

All these elements impact heavily on your business promotions. If you want to make your techniques work efficiently then you have to pay attention on these factors carefully.
For example, we have seen a drastic shift in the way we market and advertise ONLINE now due to the involvement of Geographical factor. (local places, local directories, local classifieds, local advertising, etc. Localization has taken the centre stage in any kind of online promotions.

This is a big step and has a wide impact on your budget and scope. Well, for bigger companies it is most likely that they have their own in-house marketing team for executing the long term basis advertising plans and campaigns.
If you are a smaller business or company, then probably it will not be feasible to have your own team as the advertising range and budget won’t be that much bigger to sustain it.
So, you have two choices: Hiring external agencies or organizations to help you with your marketing plans.In this way you are outsourcing your advertising work without taking the burden of hiring extra staff.
Or, you can take the middle path: hire a marketing specialist and assign him the projects that should be actually worked upon by several freelancers. OR if you are too small a business organization then you can directly deal with freelancers who will perform the actual advertising job for your business or company.
