1.0 out of 5 stars For Amateurs, August 20, 2004
By 
This review is from: Marketing Plan Pro 6.0 (CD-ROM)
I am a professional marketing manager, and this product was a great disappointment. We purchased it because of the great reviews, but I found it to be very cumbersome. The entire program is created in some sort of Web design software, and your documents are formatted in HTML. If you do not like the plain-jane layout that it offers you, YOU MUST GO IN AND EDIT THE HTML CODE to change it. In addition, the entire program was designed around marketing PRODUCTS so if you have a service based industry, or combination, you will spend great amounts of time deleting and adding categories. I finally gave up on the program and transferred everything over to Word. The only thing good about this software is the samples it provides, which I could have obtained free from a textbook. I wish I had my money back.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not For Students, March 10, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Marketing Plan Pro 6.0 (CD-ROM)
This program works great if you are trying to open a business from the beginning, but not for writing a plan for an existing business. I had to write a marketing plan for a class and it was helpful but there are many more resources out there that would be better.

5.0 out of 5 stars It made me look like a marketing guru, December 13, 2002
By 
"judy555" (Boise, ID USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marketing Plan Pro 6.0 (CD-ROM)
I first learned about Marketing Plan Pro through a class I took that used Kotler's "Marketing Managment" text where the software is mentioned. This software was so helpful in creating a marketing plan, I just can't imagine doing one without it. Great wizards, good sample plans, and the graphics it created for me were incredible.

The plan looks great, my boss was blown away, and it is the easiest way for me to keep my marketing plan current and useful.

I recommend it without hesitation.
