Resource Center - Marketing

A marketing plan is a written document that details the necessary actions to achieve one or more marketing objectives. It can be for a product or service, a brand, or a product line. It can cover one year (referred to as an annual marketing plan), or cover up to 5 years.

A marketing plan may be part of an overall business plan. Solid marketing strategy is the foundation of a well-written marketing plan. While a marketing plan contains a list of actions, a marketing plan without a sound strategic foundation is of little use.

  • Marketing plan includes brand positioning, leveraging of resources and ability to scale the enterprise.
  • Marketing plan includes utilizing current industry contacts and prospects for web deployment and emailing each with an announcement, introduction, tour and invitation to a presentation.
  • Marketing plan includes email capture incentives (e.g., free newsletter, downloads), broadcast email and news to build prospect base and unique website viewers, affiliate programs (e.g., discounts, referrals or credits; LinkShare www.linkshare.com ), banner ads and sponsors, reciprocal links and search engine optimization and collaborative marketing efforts (e.g. Daily Om www.dailyom.com , Conscious One, Pass Along Networks, Daily Bite) with groups that have huge email lists.
  • Marketing plan include Channel Marketing via EQ.TV and Waking Giant, viral marketing through blogs (e.g., WordPress) and video aggregators (e.g., YouTube).
  • Marketing plan includes Google ADSense and ADWords

VISION Statement and Purpose:

Business is based on true free-market values and natural law, not managed and manipulated economies such as we have today. Business is the economic engine to change the world, for better or for worse, depending on our choices. Everything you buy is a vote for that product. Your money is your vote.

Whenever possible choose debt-free, gold, silver and commodity-backed exchange systems that create true economies of, by and for the people, instead of global casino operations run by legally sanctioned criminal syndicates (i.e., privatized governments, transnational corporations and central banking systems).

Deregulate the banking cartel and create competitive monetary systems based on free-market choices. Eliminate all income tax and protectionist schemes that penalize productivity. Restore freedom and liberty.

"You can never change things by fighting the existing reality.  To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete."  - R. Buckminster Fuller

Most people have the innate ability to combine their native intelligence with available resources to produce something of value to exchange with others. So what is the nature of a sustainable and just economy? What do we really want? What do we really need? What are we willing to pay money for and what can we receive in exchange or for free?

The most important question of all is what are we willing to produce, or how will we serve and give? This ability to produce is the basis for all wealth generation and sound business practice as well. Take notice of the abundance of the universe and the opportunities existing everywhere. Access your wealth-building ability and power within.

What is bought and sold informs us about our personal and social values.
  1. Do not allow your desires and values to be manipulated by marketing and advertisers.
  2. Lighten your consumption and live sustainably.
  3. Live simply that others may simply live.
  4. Do not be distracted by shallow materialism that takes you away from self, family, community and soul. Not all that glitters is gold.
  5. Always produce more than you consume and your survival and those of others around you is assured.
  6. Tithe at least 10% of your efforts to those in need.
