What channels are you going to use? And what kind of call-to-action do you want to include? By taking the time to develop a comprehensive marketing plan, you can ensure that your marketing efforts are effective and achieving the results you desire. In this Episode MAC3 you’ll learn a simple formula for creating a monthly marketing plan.
