...familiar with advertising and promotional activities that were geared to a specific target audience. Marketing includes everything that has to do with coming up with a desired service or product for prospective customers. A key goal that I learned while working in the field, was to develop a lasting relationship with the customers who can directly or indirectly affect the success of the company’s business. A big factor of marketing is the recruitment of new customers and the retention and expansion of the company’s relationship with existing customers. According to business dictionary marketing is “The management process through which goods and services move from concept to the customer. It includes the coordination of four elements called the 4 P’s of marketing (Businessdictionary, 2013). One is identification, selecting and development of a product or service. Two is determination of price. Three is selection of a distribution channel to teach the customers place. Fourth is development and implementation of promotional strategy.

...Marketing Plan Guidelines Ok, so this is the real deal – the synthesis of everything you’ve learned this semester. It represents a big chunk of your final grade and will probably teach more than all the chapters and multiple choice exams combined! 1. What is a marketing plan?!?!? So, the first question is, what the heck is a marketing plan? Here’s a couple of Google definitions I found: - - “an integral part of the business plan stating in words and numbers how, where and to whom a business proposes to sell its product and/or services.” - - “details of specific tasks worked out by and for a business concerning how market research, product choice and pricing, advertising, promotion and distribution will be done.” - - “A Marketing Plan is a written document that details the actions necessary to achieve a specified marketing objective(s). It can be for a product or service, a brand, or a product line. It can cover one year (referred to as an annual marketing plan), or cover up to 5 years.” Here’s my definition: - - “A Marketing Plan describes how you’re gonna get your product in customer’s hands.” Of course, different projects will require different definitions, but the idea is describe how you’re going to maximize sales, fix image problems, introduce new products, battle competition, or whatever specific problem your firm is facing. 2.

This paper will review these two business functions, and provide an explanation of the management role in each area. Marketing Business Function. The role of marketing in an organization is critical to its success. Marketing can be defined as “the management process through which goods and services move from concept to the customer” (businessdictionary.com). Marketing focuses on the marketing mix, also known as the four P’s of marketing; Product, Price, Place and Promotion. All four must be present and work together in order to achieve success with a product or service (Khonat, 2013). However, marketing is much more than just the traditional role of being charged with advertising and promotional plans. Today’s marketing operations require cross-functional and diverse teams to produce results (Scott, 2013). Scott (2013) goes on to explain that marketing must work with all areas of the business; for example, with sales and IT for customer relations, and with R&D and manufacturing with regards to new product development and innovation. The Marketing Manager. I believe that the role of marketing Manager would be a challenging and exciting...

Future Scenario 15 8. Conclusion 16 References 18 Self Assessment Form 21 1. Introduction In developed nations like the UK and Japan, there is an exponentially growing need of care and nursing homes for the elderly. This is because UK and other developed nations have a high percentage of ageing and mature population. Their population rate is poor and the people above the age of 45 are more than 65% of the population. This has led to a drastic change in the overall health and social care requirements in the country (Euromonitor, 2015). NHS is concerned and taking steps to fulfil this gap but it requires efforts both at public and private level to achieve this mammoth task of providing residential and nursing facilities to people above the age of 60 who are living on their pensions (Oswald et al, 2007). There are a large number of elderly people who by force or by choice live in old age care homes and hence the quality and quantity of these centres should increase manifold based on...
