Hi Andy,

Bplans sells a software pkg for developing the marketing plan. I assume they provide templates with the package.

Is it worth the money? I can't say one way or the other since I've never used it.

Your marketing plan should be specific to your business, and I'm always a little skeptical of a template applying to a specific situation. I'd suggest you look at www.business.gov, for ideas on how to prepare your plan before spending any money.

You can also download the free research guide at www.abusinessmentor.com for more ideas.

Good Luck!

If your project is software or web related forget the marketing plan software. They are designed before social sites took over. What you need is to build a social cobweb. This is a series of social sites linked together to allow you to market and connect to potential clients in a social way. Youtube,facebook fanpages,ustream,twitter,blog all linked together using posterous.com

The problem with anything put in a book or for sale on a site is the method will likely become saturated. If you could describe your business in a little more detail I might be able to give you a few ideas to work with.
