FAQs on University Marketing Plans

What is a university marketing plan.

A university's marketing strategy defines its intended marketing tactics and efforts to build its reputation, increase enrollment, and foster community support. It's a guide for getting the university to where it wants to be in marketing.

A typical strategy would examine the institution's strengths, shortcomings, intended audience, and competitive environment. It describes various promotional initiatives, including online and social media campaigns, content development, advertising, events, and collaborations.

How do you create a marketing plan for a new university?

Here are the building blocks of a successful marketing strategy:

  • Market Research: Complete in-depth market research to learn about the intended audience's likes, dislikes, wants, and demographics.
  • Define Precise Objectives: Establish clear marketing goals, such as increasing student applications, boosting brand recognition, or broadening the organization's reach.
  • Develop Strategies: Such initiatives include online advertising and content production, campus gatherings, partnerships, and community service.
  • Budget Allocation: Spend money on marketing, but emphasize the projects with the best return on investment.
  • Create an Implementation Plan: Make an Implementation Plan defining who is responsible for what and by when to put the marketing strategy into action.
  • Monitor and Measure: Using data analytics, consistently track how well your marketing campaigns are doing. Change tactics as required in response to findings.
  • Engage the Community: Create lasting connections with the local community, students, teachers, and alums, to boost brand awareness and loyalty. 
  • Know Success Rate: Evaluate the marketing strategy's success regularly and adjust to customer input and changing market conditions.

Some essential tactics for promoting a university are listed below:

  • Digital Presence: Create a robust online presence by showcasing the university's programs, accomplishments, and campus life via a user-friendly website, active social media profiles, and exciting content.
  • Location-based targeting: Use demographically and interest-based targeting in digital advertising campaigns on channels like Google Ads and social media to connect with potential students and their families.

  • Campus Events: Coordinate open houses, guided tours, and other academic activities to introduce potential students to the university and its teachers and students.
  • Partnerships: Work with nearby companies, high universities, and community groups to raise awareness of and support the institution.

  • Financial Aid and Scholarships: Scholarships and other forms of financial help may be used to entice potential students and ease their minds about the cost of attending college.

What is the significance of university marketing templates?

The importance of university marketing templates in simplifying and improving marketing activities for educational institutions cannot be overstated. Universities may save time and effort using these templates, which give pre-designed structures and layouts for creating professional and aesthetically pleasing marketing materials.

Prospective students, parents, alums, and stakeholders are more likely to interact positively with the brand if they recognize it as consistent throughout time.

What Students Need to Know About A Marketing Plan Assignment

marketing plan university assignment

Have you ever spent hours or days working on an assignment, only to realize that you were doing the exact opposite of what you were supposed to be doing? It’s not a good feeling, especially when that assignment is due in a few days and you realize that you have to start all over again.

When it comes to marketing plan assignments, it’s easy to make this kind of mistake because every school and instructor has their unique ways of approaching the course. However, there are still some underlying principles that remain common in all kinds of marketing plan assignments no matter where you go.

Marketing plan assignments are part of the curriculum for students taking courses in business and finance. Your teacher may have taught a lot about the course in class, but the assignment is likely to throw a few curveballs your way.

With these two facts in mind, we thought that a comprehensive guide on what marketing plan assignments are about might help many students gain confidence. And, if you still feel lost by the end of this short piece, we promise to offer an even better solution to your problems.

Here are the facts to know about marketing plan assignments, but before that:

Take time to research and find quality sources .

The first step towards writing a top-quality marketing plan is to prepare. The preparation phase allows you to read the assignment guidelines and look into what the teacher needs. After that, find your data sources so that you will have all the resources you need for reference once you sit down to start writing.

Preparing early also helps in easing the pressure that comes with the last-minute rush. You will have all the time to research, write and edit the marketing plan assignment. Start as early as possible, even if it seems like you have more than enough time ahead.

1. A Marketing Plan Assignment Has Six Key Sections

A marketing plan is structured writing with a clear format. Every marketing plan will have six major sections, although your instructor may add or knock a few out. These six key sections of the marketing plan assignment are;

  • Executive summary – This is the introduction to the marketing plan. It contains information on the need for the marketing plan. It allows the audience to analyze how sound the project is without having to read it all. It is a concise summarization of what the marketing plan is about
  • Situation analysis – This is the real-world analysis in regards to the marketing plan. The write-up at this point will depend on the marketing plan assignment instructions. The analysis covers everything on the industry you have chosen to write on. It looks into the market trends, environmental factors, and other sales and price forces.  It is also the point to analyze competition, customers, and sales.
  • Marketing objectives – The market objectives depend on the situation analysis. At this point, you will write on the goals you want the company to achieve. You detail the goals and the current market position.  The objectives details quantity, timeframe, direction, and rationale. The objectives must neither be too ambitious or too non-ambitious.
  • Marketing strategy – The strategy details how to achieve the objectives. It looks into the opportunities and obstacles in meeting the objectives. For that, it also relies on situational analysis. Some of the possible strategies would be to use the competition or target a new segment.
  • Financial documents – writing about the financial documents tests your accuracy. You have to use correct figures to ensure the work makes sense. It is where you will need the research skills to determine the industry specifics. Consider including some elements like charts and graphs.
  •  Monitors and controls – The marketing plan assignment is never complete without indicating who to monitor the project. Failing to have a manager means no one would take responsibility in case of any mishap.

2. Proofreading is Key

Even though it seems the content has the most of the marketing plan assignment, revision takes a bit of time. Most students tend to be so exhausted by the time they finish the writing. that they would rather turn the paper in without giving it another look. That is how they end up scoring low grades.

The best way is to include the revision time when planning. Take time away from the paper once you are done. You can then come back with a fresh brain to go through it one more time.

The editing process allows you to note gaps and other mistakes like grammatical and typing errors. An error-free marketing plan assignment sets you apart as a keen and focused student. This increases your chances of scoring highly.

3. Seek Help for Marketing Plan Assignments

Never be afraid of asking for help when you need it. With an assignment such as marketing plans, the help of expert marketing plan writers can put you squarely on the path to that target GPA. You can always seek help from your classmates or the teacher in form of clarification on areas you are less conversant with, but only a student services company like Help for Assessment can go that extra mile for you.

A professional marketing plan writing service will handle the whole assignment for you upon request, submitting a fully completed assignment in only a few hours or days depending on your deadline.

With such a comprehensive solution to marketing plan writing needs, it’s surprising that not more students opt for this straightforward solution. We do know that some students fear getting caught, and we have a guide on that if that is what you are afraid of.

In most cases, however, the fear of high costs involved in marketing plan writing services online is one of the reasons most students avoid professional companies like ours. In truth, an agency like Help for Assessment is more affordable than you think. We even offer custom pricing for those with unique circumstances such as very urgent deadlines, all tailored to ensure the perfect student experience.

Using a professional marketing plan writing service is both time and money-saving. It frees you up the time to concentrate on the other topics you perform well. You are also assured of high grades hence won’t spend any money for retakes in case of failure.

You can opt to take the risk of making mistakes with your marketing plan assignment, or you can have the right academic experts handle it for you. You can even submit your half-done assignment to us for review and checking before you submit it to assure yourself of top grades.

As a top marketing plan assignment agency, Help for Assessment has all you need to ace your marketing plan assignment. We are a team of qualified writers ready to handle that work for at very affordable rates. Contact us for the best marketing plan assignment writing.

The above marketing plan outline will help you create an effective plan that easily generates buy-in from stakeholders and effectively guides your marketing efforts.

Marketing plans can get quite granular to reflect the industry you're in, whether you're selling to consumers (B2C) or other businesses (B2B), and how big your digital presence is. Nonetheless, here are the elements every effective marketing plan includes:

1. Business Summary

In a marketing plan, your business summary is exactly what it sounds like: a summary of the organization. It's essential to include this information so that all stakeholders, including your direct reports, learn about your company in detail before delving into the more strategic components of your plan.

Even if you’re presenting this plan to people who’ve been in the company for a while, it doesn’t hurt to get everyone on the same page.

Most business summaries include:

The company name

Where it's headquartered

Its mission statement

Our marketing plan outline also includes information on marketing leadership, which is especially helpful for companies with large marketing teams.

2. SWOT Analysis

Your marketing plan's business summary also includes a SWOT analysis , which covers your business's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It’s essential to include this information so you can create targeted strategies that help you capitalize on your strengths and improve upon your weaknesses.

In my experience, you need a lot of patience when doing a SWOT analysis; it requires market research and competitive analysis to become truly accurate. I tend to revisit this section periodically, adjusting it as I discover more information about my own business and competition.

3. Business Initiatives

marketing plan template for hubspot

The business initiatives element of a marketing plan helps you segment the various goals of your department. Be careful not to include big-picture company initiatives, which you'd normally find in a business plan. This section should outline the projects that are specific to marketing. You'll also describe the goals of those projects and how those goals will be measured.

Every initiative should follow the SMART method for goal-making . They should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound. For example, a broad goal might be something like, "Increase my Facebook following." But a SMART-ified version of this goal could be, "Increase my Facebook following by 30% by June." See the difference?

4. Customer Analysis

In this part of the marketing plan outline, you get plenty of space to share all the data you collected during your market research . If your company has already done a thorough market research study, this section of your marketing plan might be easier to put together. Either way, try to do your research before synthesizing it in a shareable document like this one.

Ultimately, this element of your marketing plan will help you describe the industry you're selling to and your buyer persona . A buyer persona is a semi-fictional description of your ideal customer, focusing on traits like:

Personal challenges

Triggering event

5. Competitor Analysis

marketing plan competitive analysis template

Positioning

Market share

Our marketing plan template includes space to list out the specific products you compete with, as well as other facets of the other company’s strategy, such as their blogging efforts or customer service reputation. Keep this part of your plan simple — your full competitive analysis should be done separately. Here are a few competitive analysis templates to get started.

6. Market Strategy

marketing strategy for business lan

Your market strategy uses the information included in the above sections to describe how your company should approach the market. 

For instance, when I'm filling out this section, I always pull insights from my SWOT analysis, my competitive analysis, and my general market research. This helps me write targeted, effective descriptions of my strategies.

Here's an example: if you found that one of your competitors employs stronger social media marketing strategies , you might add "We'll post 3 times per week on our social media profiles" under "Promotion."

In our full-length marketing plan outline, the market strategy section contains the "seven Ps of marketing" (or the “ extended marketing mix ”):

Physical Evidence

(You'll learn more about these seven sub-components inside our free marketing plan template, which you can download below.)

marketing plan Budget template

When I created my first marketing plan, I made the mistake of confusing the marketing budget section of my plan with my product's price and other financials.

Here's a better way to think of this section: it should describe how much money the business has allotted the marketing team to pursue the initiatives and goals outlined in the elements above.

Depending on how many individual expenses you have, you should consider itemizing this budget by what specifically you'll spend your budget on. Example marketing expenses include:

Outsourcing costs to a marketing agency and/or other providers

Marketing software

Paid promotions

Events (those you'll host and/or attend)

Knowing the budget and doing analysis on the marketing channels you want to invest in, you should be able to come up with a plan for how much budget to invest in which tactics based on expected ROI. From there, you'll be able to come up with financial projections for the year. These won't be 100% accurate but can help with executive planning.

Remember: Your marketing plan only includes a summary of the costs. We recommend keeping a separate document or Excel sheet to help you calculate your budget much more effectively. Here’s a marketing budget template to get started .

8. Marketing Channels

marketing plan marketing channels template

Your marketing plan should also include a list of your marketing channels. While your company might promote the product itself using certain ad space, your marketing channels are where you'll publish the content that educates your buyers, generates leads, and spreads awareness of your brand.

If you publish (or intend to publish) on social media, this is the place to talk about it. Use the Marketing Channels section of your marketing plan to map out which social networks you want to launch a business page on, what you'll use this social network for, and how you'll measure your success on this network.

Part of this section's purpose is to prove to your superiors, both inside and outside the marketing department, that these channels will serve to grow the business.

Businesses with extensive social media presences might even consider elaborating on their social strategy in a separate social media plan template.

9. Marketing Technology

marketing plan outline: marketing technology

Last, but certainly not least, your marketing plan should include an overview of the tools you'll include in your marketing technology (MarTech) stack . These are the tools that will help you achieve the goals you outlined in the previous sections. Since all types of marketing software usually need a generous investment from your company’s leadership, it’s essential to connect them to a potential ROI for your business.

For each tool, describe what exactly you’ll use it for, and be sure that it’s a strategy that you’ve mentioned elsewhere. For instance, we wouldn't recommend listing an advertising management tool if you didn’t list “ PPC Advertising ” under “Marketing Channels.”

  • Conduct a situation analysis.
  • Define your target audience.
  • Write SMART goals.
  • Analyze your tactics.
  • Set your budget.

1. Conduct a situation analysis.

The first step I take when creating a marketing plan is conducting a SWOT analysis. It helps me uncover the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats facing my business.

Additionally, I need a good picture of the current market. How do I compare to my competitors? Doing a competitor analysis can help.

In doing so, I can identify the gaps (and opportunities) in a competitor's approach. What are they missing? What can I offer that'll give me a competitive advantage?

Answering questions like this should help you figure out what your customer wants, which brings us to step number two.

2. Define your target audience.

If your company already has buyer personas , this step might just mean you have to refine your current personas.

But if you don't have a buyer persona, you should create one. To do this, you might have to conduct market research.

Your buyer persona should include demographic information such as age, gender, and income. However, it will also include psychographic information such as pain points and goals. What drives your audience? What problems do they have that your product or service can fix?

Once you have this information written out, it'll help you define your goals, which brings us to step number three.

3. Write SMART goals.

My mother always used to tell me, "You can't go somewhere unless you have a road map." Now, for me, someone who's geographically challenged, that was literal advice.

However, it can also be applied metaphorically to marketing. You can't improve your ROI unless you know what your goals are.

After you've figured out your current situation and know your audience, you can begin to define your SMART goals .

SMART goals are specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound. This means that all your goals should be specific and include a time frame for which you want to complete them.

For example, your goal could be to increase your Instagram followers by 15% in three months. Depending on your overall marketing goals, this should be relevant and attainable. Additionally, this goal is specific, measurable, and time-bound.

Before you start any tactic, you should write out your goals. Then, you can begin to analyze which tactics will help you achieve that goal. That brings us to step number four.

4. Analyze your tactics.

At this point, you've written down your goals based on your target audience and current situation.

Now, you have to figure out what tactics will help you achieve your goals. Plus, what are the right channels and action items to focus on?

For example, if your goal is to increase your Instagram followers by 15% in three months, your tactics might include hosting a giveaway, responding to every comment, and posting three times on Instagram per week.

Once you know your goals, brainstorming several tactics to achieve them should be easy. That said, you may not be able to pursue every tactic on your list (unless you have an unlimited budget, which, if so, jealous ) — which brings us to step number five.

5. Set your budget.

Before you can begin implementing any of the ideas that you've come up with in the steps above, you have to know your budget.

For example, your tactics might include social media advertising. However, if you don't have the budget for that, then you might not be able to achieve your goals.

While you're writing out your tactics, be sure to note an estimated budget. You can include the time it'll take to complete each tactic in addition to the assets you might need to purchase, such as ad space.

Now that you know how to create your marketing plan, let's dive into creating a marketing campaign outline that will help you reach the goals outlined plan.

Marketing Plan Timeline

Rolling out a new marketing plan is a big lift. To make sure things are running smoothly with all of your projects, you'll want to create a timeline that maps out when each project is happening.

A marketing plan timeline allows your team to view all projects, campaigns, events, and other related tasks in one place — along with their deadlines. This ensures everyone on your team knows what’s due, when it’s due, and what’s up next in the pipeline. Typically these plans cover marketing efforts for the entire year, but some companies may operate on a bi-annual or quarterly basis.

Once you’ve completed your analysis, research, and set goals, it’s time to set deadlines for your assignments. From new blog posts and content initiatives to product launches, everything will need a deadline. Take into account any holidays or events taking place over the course of the year.

While setting deadlines for the entire year may seem daunting, start by estimating how long you think each task will take and set a deadline accordingly. Track the time it actually takes for you to complete similar types of projects. Once you’ve completed a few of them, you’ll have a better idea of how long each takes and will be able to set more accurate deadlines.

For each project, you’ll want to build in time for:

  • Brainstorming : This is the first phase where your idea comes to life in a project outline. Decide what you want to achieve and which stakeholders need to be involved to meet your goal. Set a due date and set up any necessary meetings.
  • Planning : This can include determining the project’s scope, figuring out how much budget will be allocated for it, finalizing deadlines and who is working on each task. Map out any campaigns needed for each project (social media, PR, sales promotions, landing pages, events, etc.).
  • Execution : This third phase is all about your project launch. Decide on a date to launch and monitor the progress of the project. Set up a system for tracking metrics and KPIs.
  • Analysis : In this final phase you will analyze all of your performance data to see whether or not your marketing efforts paid off. Did you meet your goals? Did you complete your projects on time and within budget?

HubSpot marketing plan calendar tool

All projects and their deadlines should be in a central location where your team can access them whether that’s a calendar like HubSpot's tool , shared document, or project management tool.

One-Page Marketing Plan Template

As demonstrated above, a marketing plan can be a long document. When you want to share information with stakeholders or simply want an overview of your plan for quick reference, having a shorter version on hand can be helpful. A one-page marketing plan can be the solution, and we’ll discuss its elements below.

Include your company name, list the names of individuals responsible for enacting the different stages of your plan, and a brief mission statement.

Marketing campaign template.

Your marketing plan is a high-level view of the different marketing strategies you’ll use to meet your business objectives. A marketing campaign template is a focused plan that will help achieve those marketing goals.

A marketing campaign template should include the following key components:

  • Goals and KPIs: Identify the end goal for each of the individual campaigns you’ll run and the metrics you will use to measure the results of your campaign when it ends. For example, conversion rates, sales, sign-ups, etc.
  • Channels: Identify the different channels you’ll use to enact your marketing campaign to reach your audience. Maybe you run a social media campaign on Twitter to raise brand awareness or a direct mail campaign to notify your audience of upcoming sales.
  • Budget : Identify the budget you’ll need to run your campaign and how it will be distributed, like the amount you’ll spend on creating content or ad placements in different areas. Having these numbers also helps you later on when you quantify the success of your campaign, like ROI.
  • Content: Identify the type of content you’ll create and distribute during your campaigns—for example, blog posts , video ads, email newsletters, etc.
  • Teams and DRIs: Identify the teams and people that will be part of enacting your marketing plan from start to finish, like those responsible for creating your marketing assets, budgets, or analyzing metrics once campaigns are complete.
  • Design: Identify what your marketing campaigns will look like and how you’ll use design elements to attract your audience. It’s important to note that your design should directly relate to the purpose of your campaign.

Digital Marketing Plan Template

A digital marketing plan is similar to a marketing campaign plan, but, as the name suggests, it’s tailored to the campaigns that you run online. Let’s go over the key components of a digital marketing plan template to help you stay on track to meet your goals.

  • Objectives: The goals for your digital marketing and what you’re hoping to accomplish, like driving more traffic to your website . Maybe you want to drive more traffic to your website, or
  • Budget : Identify how much it will cost to run your digital marketing campaign and how the money will be distributed. For example, ad placement on different social media sites costs money, and so does creating your assets.
  • Target audience: Which segments of your audience are you hoping to reach with this campaign? It’s essential to identify the audiences you want to reach with your digital marketing, as different channels house different audience segments.
  • Channels: Identifies the channels that are central to your digital marketing campaign.
  • Timeline: Explains the length of time your digital campaigns will run, from how long it should take to create your assets to the final day of the campaign.

Many people use social media in their digital campaigns, and below we’ll discuss some ideas you can use for inspiration.

Social Media Marketing Plan Templates

As your marketing department grows, so will your presence on social media. And as your social media presence grows, so will your need to measure, plan, and re-plan what types of content you want to publish across each network.

marketing plan university assignment

Manage stress, keep healthy and ace your assessments with these tips from fellow students!

With the assessment period approaching, peer mentors from RMIT share their top tips on how to effectively navigate this challenging period.

Start early and stay organised

Supriya Bajaj, who is studying Masters of Analytics, says that for students approaching assessments, her advice would be to start early, stay organised, and reach out for help if needed.

“Break down your tasks into manageable chunks, prioritize effectively, and utilize resources such as peer mentors, academic support services, and study groups.” 

“Remember to take breaks and practice self-care to maintain balance and reduce stress.”  

Focus on small portions

When writing an assignment, Law student Meg Whittaker says breaking up everything into small portions helps her from becoming overwhelmed. 

“If I have a 1000-word assignment with 1 section worth 30% and one section worth 70%, I write myself a note that the first section should only be 300 words and the second part should be around 700 words,” she said.  

“For exams – try to do something similar with your timing. Break down the weight of 1 mark into how many minutes to spend on that section.”  

Look after your basic needs

When it comes to planning for assessments, self-care should be a top priority according to Bachelor of Social Sciences student Alex Ashton.

"I think it's really important for students to make sure they're looking after their most basic needs."

“Have ingredients in the house for easy meals, drink some water and schedule time for walks.”

Alex says that simplifying tasks can help students feel a sense of reward in the build up to their assessments.

“When things become really overwhelming, I find it helpful to plan for the week, just writing down one or two tasks to achieve each day.”

“It gives me a sense of achievement when I do get the things done.”  

Use library resources

Bachelor of Business student Ananya Sadana has a simple message for students thinking about their assessments.

“Start timely and don’t leave things for the last minute.”

“Use the various resources that RMIT provides to help with assignments."

From one-on-one consultations to referencing tips, students have never been more prepared for their assessments. Plus, the  Library will be open longer hours  to give you more time to study.

Check out some of the other hints and tips below to see how you can best prepare for upcoming assessments.

It’s midnight and I want to get feedback on my assignment as soon as possible. Which service should I use?

I need a step-by-step plan to help me organise my assignments. Which tool should I use?

Assignment planner.

I need to acknowledge the sources in my assignment. Where should I start?

Referencing tips.

The styles included are RMIT Harvard, AGLC4, APA, Chicago A: footnotes and bibliography, Chicago B: author-date, IEEE, and Vancouver.

Easy Cite includes as many examples of reference types as possible. If the style guides shown here do not include your specific reference or citation type, consider applying the format from similar types within Easy Cite for your reference and citation, or check the relevant style manual.

What kind of support can I get from one-on-one study support consultations?

One-on-one consultations.

One-on-one study support consultations can help with research, referencing, academic English, writing skills, math and science queries, or study techniques.

A team of RMIT academic skills advisors and librarians can help you either in-person or online.

Which service allows me to connect with another student who can help with coursework, general study skills and academic confidence?

Peer mentoring.

Peer mentoring allows you to connect with peers who have recent experience with course content and studying at RMIT.

It’s a casual, friendly, and student-led service. You can ask a couple of quick questions or build an ongoing connection both online and face-to-face.

Peer mentors are current student volunteers that are happy to help other students build their own academic confidence by sharing their own experiences. Mentors for academic courses have completed the course within the previous 12 months and received a grade of 75% or above.

Who answers my questions when I use Ask the Library webchat?
