basis. Due dates for week 1&2 is this Saturday. I will attach
details for week 1& 2 in this email. 3rd week next week until the
10th week
Deadline for the first two I included in this Saturday, every Friday after this week for the rest of it
This
is the topic/details: For this project, you will create a simple
marketing plan for a designated business. You may select a business from
the list provided. You will need to conduct marketing research on the
business (using the Internet, Stratford’s Online Library, and additional
outside resources such as interviews and market studies) to address the
parts of the marketing plan.
Note: The marketing plan that you create for this course is a scaled-down version of a “real” marketing plan.
· Prepare your Marketing Plan in Word using APA style.
·
Your Marketing Plan should be long enough to sufficiently cover the
outlined points. Expect to end up with approximately 5-8 full pages (not
including the Cover Page and Reference Page) in your final document.
·
You must research to complete this Marketing Plan. Ensure you use a
minimum of 4 resources as you complete your research throughout this
plan. Your sources must be valid, credible resources. Wikis, such as
Wikipedia, and blogs are not allowed.
· Your Marketing plan is divided into parts that will be submitted for grading throughout the term.

sure each section has a clear heading that is easy to understand as
well as a tight and precise description of what that section includes.

about! Your final Marketing Plan will be a compilation of all these
parts:
