Poll: Does your firm have a formal marketing plan in place?

ProfitCents by Sageworks recently hosted a webinar on How to Create and Implement a Marketing Plan in Your Firm.  Bonnie Buol Ruszczyk, president of bbr marketing, discussed strategies for developing a marketing road map to to attract the clients that will be most valuable for your firm.

During the presentation, accounting professionals were polled on whether their firm had a formal marketing plan in place. Eighty-six percent of respondents said that their firm did not have a plan established to guide their marketing efforts and benchmark their successes.

Bonnie explained that accounting firms without a marketing plan are missing out on having control and the ability to measure the effectiveness of their efforts, resulting in spending money on marketing projects that may not bring in a return on investment. She also explained that just having a marketing plan does not guarantee success — you must also use the plan!
