5.0 out of 5 stars It made me look like a marketing guru
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.

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.

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.

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.

The Pro 6 version software is easy to use. Alongwith the accompanying FREE book on marketing plans, this package is an excellent resource for creating marketing plans quickly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Marketing Resource, December 13, 2002

This review is from: Marketing Plan Pro 6.0 (CD-ROM)
I was referred to this product through a contact at the American Marketing Association. What a great piece of advice!

This is impressive software from every perspective. I found it easy to use, the content is excellent throughout, and the sample marketing plans were amazing. Check out "Interior Views" for example. The other resources, including the associated book, were also valuable for me.

My marketing plans looks great and I would not have been able to accomplish this task so efficiently without this software.

The latest version of Marketing Plan Pro has everything you need to create a solid marketing plan, and now it has an impressive library of sample plans. I found a couple plans that were very helpful to me as I created mine.

This sofware saved me hours and my marketing plan looks awesome!
