excellent partnerships

strong, realistic measurable goals and objectives

Your marketing plan is diverse, but there are not a lot of specifics in your plan. How many on your mailing list? What newspapers/publications do you advertise in? I would need more specifics in order to evaluate the success of your marketing plan. Your social media advertising budget is low. That could help greatly with sales and promotion.

Why no corporate support?

The proposal description was left blank.

Appreciate the defined metrics of success for increasing sales and expanding the audience.

Great use of surveying to understand how audience members utilized local businesses. Would like to see projected $ amounts describing economic impact.
