    Preface A good marketing plan is an essential factor for a prospective business to succeed. Many business proposals end or fail due to a lack of importance given to the marketing plan and hence potential lucrative businesses and careers come to a standstill. With the misfortune of a weak marketing plan‚ and not for a lack of effort or capability‚ a superb business idea may not be given the chance to grow in the market.
