Allan Dib: One-Page Marketing Template <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In The 1-Page Marketing Plan<\/em>, business coach and entrepreneur Allan Dib tells small business owners how to create a marketing plan<\/a> using a simple template that guides you through three customer-focused phases of marketing: awareness, familiarity, and enthusiasm. Dib’s popular one-page marketing template defines a process or \u201ccustomer journey\u201d of interactions that you\u2019ll walk your prospects through. They\u2019ll start out not knowing anything about your business and ultimately become superfans who will drive your business growth<\/a>. This article outlines Dib\u2019s one-page marketing template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dib\u2019s one-page marketing template guides small business owners through three customer-focused phases of marketing: awareness, familiarity, and enthusiasm. Each phase has three steps. In sequence, the nine total steps define a process or \u201ccustomer journey\u201d of interactions that you\u2019ll walk your prospects through. They start out not knowing anything about your business and ultimately become superfans. Download Dib\u2019s one-page marketing template free<\/a> or design your own by creating three rows of three squares each and filling them in sequentially as you go through the steps in each marketing phase described in our comprehensive summary. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dib\u2019s Approach: Marketing Really<\/em> Simplified<\/strong>

Inexperienced small business owners often hire a consultant to draw up a business plan, which usually has a section on marketing. The problem, Dib contends, is that these plans are so generic as to be useless in guiding your daily operations, and the plans end up being shelved and forgotten. Alternatively, some business owners try but soon give up on learning the myriad complexities of marketing, which mushroomed from the simple idea of moving goods from producer to consumer in the late 1700s<\/a>, to a multifaceted professional discipline with an array of theories, practices, metrics, and ever-evolving jargon<\/a>.

In contrast, Dib touts his one-page marketing template as a \u201cmarketing implementation breakthrough\u201d allowing any small business owner to immediately grasp and customize the few key marketing concepts she really needs.

Dib\u2019s template is reminiscent of the Business Model Canvas<\/a> developed by Alexander Osterwalder and later described in his 2010 book Business Model Generation<\/em><\/a>, which sketches nine building blocks for starting a business. Others have developed similar spinoff templates for marketing plans, such as the Marketing Canvas<\/a>, but they\u2019re more detailed than Dib\u2019s one-page plan and aren\u2019t designed specifically for small businesses. In comparison to others\u2019, Dib\u2019s template streamlines creating a marketing plan.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In summary, the three phases and nine steps of Allan Dib’s one-page marketing template are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Phase 1 (Create Awareness):<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
  1. Identify your target market<\/a>.<\/li>
  2. Develop a compelling message for this market.<\/li>
  3. Deliver the message through some type of direct advertising.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Phase 2 (Build Familiarity):<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    1. Capture leads<\/li>
    2. Cultivate leads<\/li>
    3. Convert leads to customers<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Phase 3 (Build Enthusiasm)<\/strong>:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      1. Give your customers an extraordinary experience.<\/li>
      2. Get them to buy more from you.<\/li>
      3. Get them to make referrals.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
