TABLE OF CONTENTS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This five-year marketing plan for Blue Sky Clothing has been created by its two founders to secure
additional funding for growth and to inform employees of the company’s current status and direction.
Although Blue Sky was launched only three years ago, the firm has experienced greater-than-anticipated
demand for its products, and research as shown that the target market of sport-minded consumers and
sports retailers would like to buy more casual clothing than Blue Sky currently offers. They are also
interested in extending their product line as well as adding new product lines. In addition, Blue Sky
plans to explore opportunities for online sales. The marketing environment has been very receptive to
the firm’s high-quality goods—casual clothing in trendy colors with logos and slogans that reflect the
interests of outdoor enthusiasts around the country. Over the next five year, Blue Sky can increase its
distribution, offer new products, and win new customers.
