The 1-Hour Marketing Plan includes a How-to Guide, Marketing Plan Template, Marketing Calendar Template, Marketing Budget Template, and a Sample Marketing Plan to show small business owners what a completed marketing plan looks like. The system also includes a Marketing Activity Selector that analyzes 19 different marketing activities to help small business owners select the best marketing activities for their business.

"In my experience, many small business owners do not take the time to create a marketing plan because they don't know how, they don't think they have the time, or because they can't afford to hire a marketing professional to create a marketing plan for them," said LaChusa. "Having a marketing plan is so critical to a business' success that I wanted to streamline the process and make it possible for any business owner to create a marketing plan quickly and easily, even if they don't have any previous marketing experience."

LaChusa is also giving away a free Marketing Plan Outline to anyone visiting her website and registering at http://www.1HourMarketingPlan.com
