During the 6th semester of Hotel Administration Department, students who are currently study the Advance Marketing Subject are assign to create their very own marketing plan by examinating a 3 star above hotel in Bali.
Students used to ask, why such project is assign to us; what does it do? Well I usually answer: A Marketing plan is a tool to IMPROVE THE HOTEL’S COMPETITIVE EDGE! The subject is aimed to assist and prepare you to become a Marketing Manager someday in the future.
Here’s a brief about composing the Marketing Plan:
In general, a Marketing Plan is a written strategy for selling the products/services of a new business. It is a reflection of how serious a company is in meeting the competition head on, with strategies and plans to increase market share and attract customers. An effective Marketing Plan is backed by carefully collected market, consumer and competitor information, sometimes citing professional advice.
Why Prepare a Marketing Plan?
A good Marketing Plan will help you to improve your odds against more experienced competitors and newly emerging ones. The Plan enables you to recognize and take action on any trends and consumer preferences that other companies have overlooked, and to develop and expand your own select group of loyal customers now and into the future.
The Plan also shows to others that you have carefully considered how to produce a product that is innovative, unique and marketable- improving your chances of stable sales and profits – reasons for investors to financially back you.
Basically the plan will consist of:
- Title Page
- Table of Contents
- Historical Background
- Marketing Goals and Objectives (Sales Objectives, Profit Objectives, Pricing Objectives and
Product Objectives) - Market Analysis
- Environmental Analysis – Global Business Environment & Local Business Environment
- Consumer Analysis
- Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats Analysis
- Marketing Focus
- Financial Information
- Tables, Graphs, Diagrams and Pictures
How to compose? What aspects need to be defined?
Well.. See you in the marketing class! 😀

Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there’s even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you?
