Marketing Plans

This ERD (see the following figure) illustrates how marketing plans are used in conjunction with the financial modeler for the purposes of financial planning. Marketing plans are multilevel groupings of plan elements (campaigns) or sub-plans. Financial goals and costs can be forecasted for each level of the plan, tracked against actual achievement after campaign execution, and rolled up to the top-level plan. Funds can also be allocated for different plans in different periods and used as inputs for accounting purposes or in financial calculations.
