...Final Project: Marketing Plan June, 2010 Marketing Plan I have produced a marketing plan that I believe is the most effective way to introduce my product to the market. I have included a brief introduction to my product, an analysis of the market I plan on targeting, and an analysis of the market size and demographics of the targeted market. In the marketing plan I will include four of the most important elements of the marketing mix; also known as the Four P’s of marketing. The product being offered to consumers will be the first P. The value; or price, that is assigned to the product will be the second P. The third P will stand for promotional activities to be used to inform prospective customers about the product. The place the product will be provided to the consumers will be addressed by the fourth P. Finally this marketing plan will discuss sales promotion techniques that I plan on using to build an interest in my product in the introduction phase. Product I would like to introduce a vitamin supplement product to the marketplace that is more like candy than a multivitamin. Many people take or have taken a multivitamin sometime in their lives. The Flintstone’s vitamin was a well known and liked chewable vitamin for children that helped them receive essential daily vitamins and minerals with less hassle and no swallowing. However, as people mature their daily vitamin and mineral needs change and options for tasty and chewable multivitamins are limited. Most...

...Marketing Plan: Final Phase When a company decides to introduce a new service or product they cannot just simply make it. There is much planning that goes on with creating and introducing the new product or service. There is planning, budgeting, a marketing mix, marketing research, and so much more. The following will provide all the phases Allen’s Foods had to develop in order to create and introduce their new home delivery service. Organization Overview Allen’s Foods is a local small town grocery store located in the retirement town of Bella Vista, AR, and was established in June of 1999. Although, it has not been around nearly as long as some of the big chain grocery stores they have still won the hearts of many local customers. Allen’s Foods is a full service grocery store that includes an on site butcher to freshly cut any meat a customer wants, fresh produce from regional and local growers, gourmet foods, specialty foods, and natural and organic foods (Facebook, 2013). The staff is very friendly, and Allen’s Foods has something big chains do not have; they carry your groceries to your car and load them up for the customers. The one thing they do not provide in their full service grocery store is grocery delivery. Many of the retired and elderly community are extremely busy or too old to have to go grocery shopping every time they need food, so on occasion, they would like to have (or need it) their groceries delivered directly to their homes. The community agrees it...

...Mediaplanet Marketing Plan MKT 535 Mark Dinglasan 11/20/11 Overview: This marketing plan presents an overview of the Mediaplanet business model and recommended strategies that will strengthen the company's position and profitability in the North American market. Mediaplanet has been in the North American markets since 2008 and has expanded to six major offices in the United States and Canada. Although the company is international and continues to expand at an accelerated rate, it continues to operate under a start-up mentality and relies on rapid expansion and a large volume of reports published per quarter to generate profit. The company does not have an HR, PR or Marketing Department. The overall company structure is very basic with the key individuals in the North American Operations being the CEO and CFO that work out of the New York office. From there, each office within the North American Operations possesses one managing director, at least two business development managers, and at least 5 publishers that are all under the CEO and CFO. No financial information regarding profitability and financial status were provided to this publisher for the purposes of this project. The marketing plan will demonstrate how unique the Mediaplanet operations are as the owners of the company have created an international publishing company that operates under a very basic structure and operations. This plan will also serve to identify the weaknesses that are starting show little...

Business Overview Louis Vuitton, the brand, and the person, share humble beginnings. At the tender age of sixteen, Louis Vuitton began working as an apprentice in Paris, France in 1837. In a period when transportation occurred primarily by trains, boats, and carriages, luggage underwent a significant amount of wear.
