<strong>Ashford</strong> <strong>BUS</strong> <strong>235</strong> <strong>Week</strong> 5 <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Paper</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Marketing</strong> <strong>Mix</strong><br />

Focus of the <strong>Final</strong> <strong>Paper</strong><br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Marketing</strong> <strong>Mix</strong><br />

Select an existing product and identify its target market. Describe how each variable of the marketing mix (product,<br />

price, place, and promotion) is being executed. Address at least three elements of each variable.<br />

Focus of <strong>The</strong> <strong>Marketing</strong> <strong>Mix</strong><br />

In a six- to eight-page paper (not including the title and reference pages) consider the following:<br />

Product:<br />

What features do customers care most about?<br />

How are the key features and benefits better or worse than those of competing products?<br />

How do consumers choose and use products in this category?<br />

How is the product branded?<br />

Price:<br />

o How is this product priced relative to competing products?<br />

o What is the rationale for employing this pricing strategy?<br />

o Are there pricing discounts (e.g., wholesalers, bulk)?<br />

Place:<br />

o Where is the product sold and why have those locations been selected?<br />

o Do the locations give adequate accessibility to the target market?<br />

o Are products sold online as well? Is there transparency between online and brick-and-mortar<br />

outlets?<br />

Promotion:<br />

o What marketing communications does this company use to promote the product?<br />

o Describe the advertising, personal selling, public relations, and direct marketing efforts.<br />

What main messages are portrayed to consumers? What is emphasized? What is the image?<br />

Provide recommendations for the marketing mix. For example, should the advertising be changed or should the<br />

product be distributed differently?
