Most of the time when a business plan is mentioned it refers to the documentation put together before the business is formed which outlines the market opportunity, how the business will be run, financial projections, etc. In this case the marketing plan would be a component of the larger business plan. For ongoing business operations, the marketing plan becomes the document that guides the company.

An action plan should be specific and time bound. All actions should be related to a root cause and should have a measurable outcome. In an action plan we must include; what the action is, what is required to complete the action ie. paper, pen ect., who will complete it, when it will completed and what the method for measurement is. For example if we were writing an action plan for saving $100 by December 2009 it would go something like this: Action: Save $100 Required: Income, bank account or money storing area. Who: Myself When: By December 2009 Measurement: Measured by monthly bank statements or counting of money.
