Mktg Plan Assignment

What To Do:

Finish the marketing plan you began in week 2 and wow your internship bosses!

Guided Response:

Create an APA style formatted Word document that includes at least 3 references outside of the course text and contains paragraphs that cover the topics below.

The length of your marketing plan will vary based on your degree of succinctness. Most documents fall between 9-13 double spaced pages. For more details, including minimum lengths by topic, check out our sample McDonald's marketing plan.

Note that you've already covered this first set of topics in your week 2 situational analysis. Feel free to revise your earlier work as needed.

• A description of your selected company/brand
• The core products/services they offer
• A brief history
• Key current competitors
• A SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, threats & opportunities) analysis
  • For each, identify and describe a minimum of 3 examples (12 in total).
• A description of the product/service that you want to market & SWOT rationale

Now address the additional topics below to complete your marketing plan. Again, reference our example and the identified text chapters for additional context.

• Segmentation approach and rationale
  • e.g., Demographic, geodemographic, behavioral, psychographic, etc.
• Target market(s) description
• Positioning statement
• Marketing mix details
  • Address each "P" (product, place, price, promotion) of the marketing mix separately and explain your choices. This is the heart of your plan.
• Success metrics
  • Discuss at least 3 metrics you might analyze to evaluate the success of your plan.
• International considerations
