Surprising Things that every Business Plan should include

A business plan seems like a lot of work.

It actually is.

Creating a Business plan is not easy at all. But all the hardships will go in vain unless you have something extraordinary in it that will make the business plan stand out amongst a horde.

Here are some things that may surprise you, but should be included in a business plan.

Review of the Competition

A business idea is not only about the company’s own agenda and goals. It should be the whole industry’s reflection and that includes your competition in the industry. You need to make sure you have assessed your competition well enough to spot where they are doing great and where they are failing miserably.

Innovation 

At the beginning I said, if the business plan doesn’t have anything that may stand out from the horde, all your hardship will be in vain. Well, this is what I’m talking about.

If your business idea isn’t something unique or groundbreaking, why should people bother with your company at all?

So, companies who value the necessity of innovation should definitely start from the very beginning.

Contingency Plan

What if everything goes south? You can’t expect everything to goaccording to your plan, right? You must have a contingency plan that will save you from extinction.

So when you see things are not ending up the way you wanted, you have a different path to follow up and thrive.

Preparation for the success 

If I have made you nervous then this is my redemption.

If we are talking about failure, we should also talk about success.

What happens when you get unexpected success? The answer should be in your business plan. If you don’t know what you are going to do if you achieve 1 year’s milestones in one month, you should plan again with proper instructions.

Psychographics

It is easy to assume that a business plan will include its target audience’s demographic information like their gender, age, income, education, etc. But an ideal business plan will also have psychographics which will include their lifestyle, desire, need, capability, willingness, etc.

Social Media Strategy 

It’s no secret that Social Medias nowadays have the dominance over any other medium of publication in the case of marketing. So it’s only fitting that an ideal business plan will have avery core strategy to utilize the dominance of social media and turn them into working in our favor.

Employee Engagement Tactics

No matter how big or small your business is, you’ll always have employees who will work for you. But they need to stay engaged in what they are doing to best serve your company. That’s why you’ll have to write out the plans to keep them in check and engaged.

The exit plan

If you weren’t surprised by any of the above, you’ll definitely be surprised hearing this one.

Yes, you must have an escape plan. From the very first moment you think of starting the business, you’ll have to consider even the worst case scenarios that could happen to you and your company. And you’ll have to be ready for whatever comes.

Google Wallet And Android Are Coming Under Google Play

Google has recently decided to get its act together and unite all its payment methods under one name, Google Pay. Now, instead of having to worry about independent services that dealt with different payments, users are now given everything under one brand to help reduce some of the clutter and headache that comes along with multiple payment platforms. Moreover, you can use Google Pay to not only pay for online shopping, but in the real world too. What’s happening? This rebranding brings together the previous Google Wallet and Android Pay systems used on most of Google’s platforms, especially Google Play. This helps ease confusion and prevents the two Google sub-brands from competing. There have been times in the past where Google Wallet was a direct competitor to Android Pay, thereby harming each other. The rebranding also comes with a refurbished app that adds to the already functional skeleton of the previously known Android Pay app. The ease of access to its services h...
