It is an excerpt from a former student, whose permission I have to share it with you. However, this sample plan was the culmination of two courses. It has been edited to shorten its length to illustrate the promotional tools. It doesn’t use the APA style (as you will do). o The main reason for showing you this sample is to illustrate how to outline the chosen promotional tools and how to write the objectives, strategies, and tactics.
