An abstract marketing business plan won't have as much to do with your promotional campaigns themselves as the business you seek to develop, its market opportunities and competition, and the potential returns this company could generate for you over a period of 3 to 5 years. Having a marketing plan that is abstract in nature or simply cutting-edge weighed against the stale approaches of most businesses these days can work hugely to your advantage, but that doesn't recast the entire body of the business plan. Abstract marketing ideas or not, what your company will need to get recognized by potential funding sources is a business plan that supplies thorough, convincing arguments for the following:
• What is the market opportunity you envision?
• How long will it take your company to break even on the initial investment?
• What methods can you use to differentiate yourself from competitors?
• How will you staff the management tier and what personnel needs does the business have?
• Can you explain the value proposition behind this business concept?
The abstract marketing business plan will of course need a detailed marketing strategy section, too. Typically this includes an overview of your vision for promoting and branding the company, along with a list of basic initiatives or strategies you might pursue. From there it should catalog the strengths your company can wield ("competitive edge") and then describe the different ways you will advertise the company. The marketing plan will flow into the pro forma financial model for the business plan, which should provide the reader not just with a marketing budget but with the anticipated revenues and profit and loss for each year you're analyzing.
