More Key Points

Keep in mind that all accepted rules of English composition apply. Papers must be typed or word-processed, be double spaced, and have standard margins (1 inch on each side).

The length of the paper is not the primary measure of the quality of the paper. As a guideline, you will probably need 10–15 pages to present your marketing plan adequately.
