The Marketing Plan basically addresses as to how a product or service will be / can be taken to the target segment.. There are various ways e.g. Direct MArketing, Dealer network setting, Contract marketing and so on. You need to decide which is the best and most viable option for you.

A good marketing plan for your childcare business should shape the way you connect to your customers and attract new ones in Douala and other cities in Cameroon. It should also help you determine the types of clients (parents) you should target, how to reach them, and how to track the results so you learn what works to increase your business.

You’ll need first to address the following questions to create a marketing plan:

Who are you selling childcare services to? What do those customers need? What distinguishes your childcare service from the competition in Douala and beyond? What marketing tactics are most effective in Douala to make your services noticeable to your customers? Ask several of your prospective customers what they think about your childcare services, your potential to sell to them and your competitors.

Use answers to the questions to draft your marketing plan. Define what you expect to accomplish in a specific time period. You could organize your plan to include: A descriptive summary of the childcare market in Douala and Cameroon; Communication strategies; How you would launch the business; Success indicators; Marketing schedule.

Review you marketing plan every six months or more often to make sure it is producing the intended results. You could use Excel Spreadsheet to track your progress where you can also calculate your marketing costs and compare them with service sales.
