By Jennifer Gaskin, Apr 28, 2021

Marketing Plan Infographic

A well-crafted marketing plan is crucial to any business. But even the most ingenious plan won’t go anywhere if it’s not well-communicated to your entire team. That’s why we think your next campaign should include a marketing plan infographic.

COVID-19 took a toll on budgets, according to a Deloitte/Duke Fuqua School of Business survey, which found that marketing spending dropped by nearly 4% in 2020. However, the survey of marketing executives predicts that budgets will bounce back this year, rising by about 14% over the course of 2021.

If you’re struggling to find a good way to present your marketing plan, putting it in the form of an infographic could help you make the most of the budget boost you’re getting this year. And for those whose budgets aren’t rising, creating marketing plan infographics through Venngage’s Infographic Maker can give you serious bang for the buck.

Even for a small company, spending a quarter of the year’s revenue on marketing means that those in charge of marketing activities need to make sure their strategies and campaigns are on point, which means crafting well-considered plans.
