PADM 7040 Nonprofit Management
Marketing Plan Project Details
Fall 2005
 
Original Assignment for the Marketing Plan (Individual Project)
Each student will outline a marketing plan for the nonprofit organization that was the subject of the Nonprofit Overview Summary. Based on information gathered in that project and upon our readings, the student will suggest methods for building the membership, getting more volunteers involved, or some other campaign. The plan should also address ways the organization can better use marketing to accomplish the mission.
Description of Some Details:
Outline a marketing plan for the nonprofit organization that was the subject of the Nonprofit Overview Summary. This is an outline, preferably done in PowerPoint so it is easy for everyone to view it. Therefore it does not have to be paragraph and strict sentence format. It can be done as a topic outline with short sections on the main topics.
Remember to use the information you gathered in the nonprofit overview summary.
For instance:
What about membership levels?
Do you need to try and build membership?
Do they have enough volunteers?
If not, perhaps we should put volunteer recruitment into the plan.
Be sure to provide:
Mission, Objectives, Goals
Culture of the Organization
Publics to be Served
Competition & Environment
Strengths, Weaknesses, Threats and Opportunities.
Methods for Core Marketing Strategy & Describe Campaign
Building the Membership?
Getting more Volunteers involved?
or some Other Campaign
The plan should also address ways the organization can better use marketing to accomplish the mission. Would you recommend any updating or changes in the mission, objectives, or goals of the organization based on what you have learned?
Review the Offer/Market Opportunity Matrix (Figure 3-6, page 81) to determine if you find any ideas for “offer modification” from the information you have.
