Marketing Campaign for a Small Business
In this project I am going to produce a marketing campaign for a small
retail business. The business, which I am going to "make", will have
competitors in the local area. Before I am going to open my business,
I will have to decide on a few main things.
E.g. which products I am going to sell, the prices at which the
products are going to be sold, where my business is going to be
located and how I am going to promote my shop and the products.
For my marketing Campaign Plan, I am going to develop a small
supermarket, which will be called Shoprite.
I want to keep the supermarket as small as possible and the products
at the best standard. The supermarket will sell essential household
products and I also
Would like to stock a selection of sweets/crisps newspapers and
magazines, ice creams, fruit and vegetables, cards, yoghurt,
cigarettes etc.
Shoprite will not be located in central Seaford but on the outskirts
of town, mainly in residential areas. The reason for this is that it
will save people from driving into town for their necessities.
Shoprite's competitors will be:
1. Costcutters
2. CO-OP
3. Scoop 'n weigh
4. Green Grocers
Before I decide on the products, which my supermarket will be selling

The research objectives are probably one of the most important parts of the research plan...
The purpose of your research project and in what way will it contribute to the academic understanding of your subject matter.
After considering the information in this week’s instructor guidance and readings, I have selected the research topic:
The prime target market for candles is women with families. "As one of life's little luxuries, candles are purchased at about the same rate across all income levels, among all ethnicities, and at all educational levels. Now, don’t be fooled because men love candles as much as women, however key demographic factors distinguish the candle buyers to women, aged 45 years and under, many that head families with children. There is also an increasing number of different cultural couples and families making candle purchases.

These lifestyle changes can only mean increased growth in the candle industry.

I started my research by looking for information that would
The following plan is intended to provide a basic marketing communications plan for a fictitious company. The company in question operates in China and produces soft drinks, particularly adult soft drinks.

Marketing is a fundamental aspect of all businesses, whether they are set out to make a profit, or charitable organisations - they will have to carry out marketing research of some description. It has been described as being, “the management process responsible for identifying, anticipating and satisfying customer requirements profitably.” (Chartered Institute of Marketing) This essay will explore the role of marketing in a marketing oriented business and different aspects of the external environment that a smartphone company should be aware of. The points raised throughout will be supported using relevant journals, textbooks and newspaper articles.
In order to advance a field and develop new concepts it is vital that one understands what has already been proposed and looked at in the past. This is why understanding the theories and principles that are already in place are so very important. There is no point in trying to reinvent the wheel if it is really not necessary. A good researcher should be able to develop what has already been done in order to move forward the thinking within the discipline. This is what I hope to be able to do with my research.
Too often, a marketing function is misunderstood, because many people do not understand what is meant by ‘Marketing’.
My secondary research was some websites on where I got my information, also I listed the websites.
Advertising for Online Businesses The internet is a huge business and its constant and significant growth attracts more and more businesses to be online. In 2004, online sales reached $117 billion (www.comscore.com with more than 812 million internet users (www.internetworldstats.com/stats.htm).
