To begin, a quotation: Maximising your market exposure is about
trying to get your message across to as many people in the
community as possible. Because the community receives so much new
information each day, your message will have to compete for
attention with others. Consider who you want your message to reach,
and the best way to present your message to them. (Queensland
Government, 2015) Central Institute of Technology 2015
Slide 4
The best marketing requires preparation and central to that
preparation is the development of a Marketing Plan. Your Marketing
Plan is a written document that outlines your goals and the
strategies you intend to use to achieve those goals. Central
