Product Description

A Highly Effective Marketing Plan (HEMP) is a process that will dramatically improve your chances of profitably selling more of your products and services. And HEMP will stop you wasting thousands, maybe millions of pounds, dollars, euros or yen on marketing initiatives that should never see the light of day.

HEMP is a straightforward, simple, 17 step plan which you can use to address your problems and opportunities whatever their size, whatever your business, whatever sector you operate in. And it’s tried, tested and proven.

Each step is detailed within the book with explanations as to why each step is necessary. Also, the benefits of completing the process sequentially are highlighted.

This is the book that will help you to:

  • create a highly effective marketing plan that works – in just one hour!
  • learn from the relevant case studies and examples and apply these to your business
  • really understand your business and what it is that makes people buy from you
  • identify the real obstacles to your plan – and how to overcome them
  • gain tips for how to make sure your plan is successfully implemented

5.0 out of 5 stars It really is easy., 16 Jun 2004
By A Customer
HEMP was recommended to me by a colleague. I've read a few marketing made simple books before that just made me more confused. This book is different. Making a Highly Effective Marketing Plan for your business really is easy. It just needed someone to get rid of the smoke and mirrors.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for Marketing Managers at all - why did Pearson Prentice Hall put their good name to this?, 7 Mar 2009
By Nicola (Somerset, UK) - See all my reviews
Having read this cover to cover in an evening, I was horrified to see the publisher had allowed this author to mis-spell a famous brand name incorrectly several times, whilst using it as a case study to support his own home-grown argument about the use of sport sponsorship.
Additionally, when I utilised the book in conjunction with the author's online toolkit (HEMP_Folder_Workbook) as suggested in the book, I found the latter steps of his planning process in a different order. As a student of marketing, there is nothing quoteworthy whatsoever, and it is too far removed from widely known planning models to be used as a comparison or alternate method. Poorly referenced and lacking supporting material, it is written in a chatty, 'off-the-top-of-my-head' style, that does not appear to have any useful detail or depth, or even been proof-read. It is a blatant marketing ploy for something called Redcup Coffee, and has probably damaged this brand beyond repair by using it endlessly as an example of usage of his planning process. Waste of my money, and my evening.
