Your marketing plan will be perfect only when it works. No matter how much perfect marketing plan you have built, if your marketing plan does not work it cannot be considered perfect marketing plan. You will have to implement winning strategies in your marketing plan. Winning strategies means the methods that have been tested multiple times and have worked for a lot of people.

True indeed. YOu might create a marketing plan but if it did not work how can you call it a perfect marketing plan. Whether you have created a perfect marketing plan or not depends on the result of your marketing plan. If you get the good result even a thoughtless plan can be called a perfect marketing plan.

Your marketing plan will succeed only when you have enough budget. If you are lacking budget, you may not able to run your marketing campaign for a long time. When you are unable to run your ad campaign for a long time, it might not reach the target audience. The key to generating sales is reaching the target customers.

Budgeting is the most important aspect of marketing. How much budget you can allocate for the marketing campaign determines what kind of marketing plan you can create. Generally speaking, if your marketing campaign is targeting higher countries, you will have to spend more money on ads and if you are targeting low tier countries, your ad budget can be comparatively low.
