April Book Recommendation: The 1-Page Marketing Plan by Allan Dib

The 1-Page Marketing Plan: Gain New Customers, Make More Money, And Stand Out From the Crowd is not just another marketing book. It’s a comprehensive guide that challenges the notion that effective marketing plans need to be complex and lengthy. Author Allan Dibb presents a unique approach, suggesting that any business, regardless of size, budget, or industry, can create a powerful marketing plan on a single page. If your plan can’t fit on a single page, it’s too complicated and needs revising. 

This book covers three key marketing phases and breaks down the process of creating a marketing plan into nine simple steps. These steps are designed to fit onto a single page, each represented by a square that you fill in as you follow along.

Step 8: Increase your LCV (Lifetime Customer Value)

Dibb’s guide offers a refreshingly straightforward and actionable approach to creating a marketing plan.
