About

The What, Where & How mind map template is a comprehensive marketing model designed for business owners, marketers, and entrepreneurs to structure their entire marketing strategy across resources, KPIs, focus areas, copywriting, website, funnel process, online marketing, and offline marketing. With 87 nodes organized into 8 top-level branches, this template covers everything from 'Resources' (including 'Tools' like Market Samurai and Google Reader) to 'Online Marketing' (detailing 'Social Media' platforms such as Google+, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and SlideShare) and 'Off line Marketing' (including 'Networking' with local council groups and 'Print' materials like flyers and brochures). The template also features a 'Funnel Process' branch mapping 'Enquiry to sale', 'After sales process', 'Upsell', and 'Cross sell'. This Xmind template serves as both a strategic planning tool and a cheat sheet for aligning marketing activities with business objectives, making it ideal for annual planning or campaign launches.
