  • Marketing Plan: Product Identification and SWOT Analysis
  • What to Do
  • This week, you will be creating components of your capstone marketing plan assignment. You will then finish your plan in Week 5.
  • Using the company you selected for your marketing manager internship, you will complete a situation analysis with the goal of identifying a new product/service to develop your marketing plan against.
  • How to Do it
  • Create a minimum 750 word APA style formatted Word document that includes at least 1 scholarly resource from Ashford’s online library in addition to the course text.
  • The Scholarly, Peer Reviewed, and Other Credible Sources table (Links to an external site.) offers additional guidance on appropriate source types. If you have questions about whether a specific source is appropriate for this assignment, please contact your instructor. Your instructor has the final say about the appropriateness of a specific source for a particular assignment.
  • Your document should contain paragraphs that cover the following topics:
  • A description of your selected company/brand
  • The core products/services they offer
  • A brief history
  • Key current competitors
  • A SWOT analysis
  • The product or service line you want to develop a marketing plan for and a SWOT based argument for why it warrants marketing investment
  • Please see our sample situational analysis (completed for McDonald's) for more details, including minimum lengths by topic.
  • What Should I Market?
  • The focus of your marketing plan can be a new product/service idea of your own or an existing product/service that you think deserves its own dedicated campaign. Just don't pick something that you've already seen being actively marketed.
  • For example, after completing a SWOT analysis for McDonald's, one might propose marketing new concepts like a McVeggie burger or an adult happy meal. Further afield, one might propose a whole new chain of pay to visit indoor McPlayground Centers. Or, relative to existing offerings, one might suggest a dedicated marketing campaign for say "burgers at breakfast" or after midnight snacking via the drive thru.
  • Lean about your brand and then let your imagination run wild. It can be a big idea that will appeal to many of their customers or a very targeted effort. You decide. You can always adjust your idea after getting instructor feedback.
