Part 1 PowerPoint presentation
Select a consumer product or service you wish to explore in this course. You might want to use the product you selected in MRKT 310’s marketing plan if you recently took that course. You might want to pick a product that you regularly use and to which you can assume you are a member of the primary target market. You need to ensure that the product lends itself to multiple promotion mix tools. Therefore, products of large, well-known, publicly traded companies work best. You can select a brand instead of a specific product. Be sure you understand the difference before proceeding.
Do not assume that what you believe is true for the product is true for all members of the target market. Do your research and be unbiased in your analyses. Remember, a product can be a good, a service, or an idea, or a combination. Submit your product choice to your faculty member in the assignment folder.
Once your product choice has been approved, prepare a PowerPoint presentation for part 1 as follows:
1. Title slide—name of product, your name, date, course information, plus part 1 table of contents
2. Description of product, providing details on what consumer need the product fills, the physical description, any service components that come with it, as well as any after sales support such as guarantee, warranties or customer support, plus the other areas in the template.
