Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Customer Development Marketing Campaign Planner?
This online form guides you through discovery, validation, prototyping, iteration, and metrics, turning raw ideas into a structured, testable marketing plan (Blank, 2013).
How does the tool validate customer needs?
You describe research steps—surveys, interviews, analytics—then compare outcomes against stated pain points, following the customer-development loop from “Problem” to “Solution” fit (Cooper & Vlaskovits, 2010).
Which success metrics should I track first?
Start with cost-per-acquisition, conversion rate, and retention; together they predict lifetime value, a core growth indicator (Reforge, 2022).
How often should I iterate the plan?
Review metrics weekly during launch, then monthly; frequent iteration increases campaign ROI by 25 % (McKinsey, 2022).
Do I need a prototype for a service business?
Yes—mock customer journeys or pilot programs act as service prototypes and reveal friction before full rollout (Service Design Network, 2021).
Can I export or share the generated outline?
After submission, copy text directly; teams paste it into project docs or collaboration tools such as Notion or Trello.
What budget should I allocate to tests?
Allocate 10 % of the projected full campaign spend to early validation; this small stake prevents costly misalignment later (Gartner, 2023).
Does the planner align with research standards?
Yes; its emphasis on documented steps and feedback loops matches ISO 20252 requirements for transparency and data integrity (ISO 20252:2019).
