CASE ANALYSIS:

The Case Side Launch is in the text book at the end of the units 

o   There is concern at Side Launch that, as a small brewery, the recall of their Wheat Beer may have a more significant impact on their performance than if they were one of the larger breweries.  Garnett Pratt has called to ask your assessment of how the issue was handled and what impact, if any, it may have on a competitive assessment of their company. 

Using material from this unit determine how you would go about assessing how the recall has impacted the companies positioning in the market place, its reputation and future product launches?

Marketing Plan: Part I

Throughout this course, you will compile a comprehensive marketing plan using one of the product/service scenarios listed below. (Note: You will use the same scenario throughout the course.) This scenario will be the basis of your start-up company and will be the catalyst for the three parts of the marketing plan that you will compose in Units II (Part I), IV (Part II), and VII (Part III). The company that you choose to submit a marketing plan for is a fictional start-up company (not an existing company).

Scenarios for your start-up company are explained below. (Note that these descriptions are basic, and you will need to be creative and develop the business idea/model for your selected scenario.)

Scenario #4

Women on the Go is a startup company targeted at women who need assistance with the selection and purchasing of their clothing/accessories. This service is aimed at the more affluent customer who simply does not have the time and/or knowledge to dress to the business or social setting that they are expected to fulfill. Initial research will provide insight into the types of services that this particular target market would be interested in.

Remember to choose one of the aforementioned scenarios to use for the entire course. Submissions will be completed in Units II, IV, and VII and, together, will comprise a full marketing plan. While this is a cumulative marketing plan, submit only the designated unit’s work.

This unit’s submission should consist of the items listed below.

§  Include an introduction/overview of the company.

o    This section of the marketing plan should introduce the company and business model along with a brief description of the products/services.

§  Discuss market research strategies.

o    This section of the marketing plan should discuss the research strategies that will be used by your company to understand the target market(s), industry, competition, and/or any other aspects of the company that will provide valuable insight into profitable operations.

§  Describe the macro environment through a political, economic, social, and technological (PEST) analysis.

o    In this section, you will compile a PEST analysis of your company. You will analyze how the changes in the macro environment as described in the PEST will impact the company and, specifically, the marketing decisions.
