The term “marketing plan” has several possible, valid definitions. Sometimes it refers to the corporation’s marketing strategy, built upon a firm’s core values and competencies. Often "marketing plan" really equates to a marketing communications plan. Or in many cases, a marketing plan is the actual plan for marketing a specific product. These are all different things, and while they support each other, they are not interchangeable.
