Introduction: You provided a well thought out description of your hypothetical business. The product/service that you will focus on in this course is clear, the physical location is defined and you successfully introduced the elements of your marketing plan. Great job! Mission Statement: See textbook, page 21 "To define its mission, a company should address Peter Drucker’s classic questions: What is our business? Who is the customer? What is of value to the customer? What will our business be? What should our business be?" Only three of these questions were addressed in your mission statement. Goals: Your stated short term and long term goals of either revenue, profit, market share, brand awareness or customer acquisition are SMART goals: S. – Specific; M. – Measurable; A. – Assignable; R. – Realistic; T. – Time based. Knowing what you plan to accomplish is a solid first step in building your marketing plan. There were, however, no measurements provided for your goals. These measurements are important to help you monitor your progress and adjust as needed. Environmental Analysis: All the elements of the environmental analysis were addressed and explained. You gathered factual information covering each of the six categories in the environmental analysis. This was thorough and exhibited an understanding of the environmental factors. Remember that environmental factors are outside of your direct control, but each of these factors has influence over your business. SWOT Analysis: This section should include both a written SWOT analysis containing at least three of each element with rationale and a SWOT table summarizing each. You did not provide three elements for each point within the SWOT analysis. You also did not provide the needs analysis to show your understanding. See textbook page 47. References and Citations: You provided more than the required number of academic peer reviewed references (four or more), and showed a clear understanding of an academic, peer reviewed reference. All SWS formatting is correct. Mechanics: Your paper provided most of the points of your plan, but it was not as well organized as it could have been. Please refer to the templates as provided in the assignment instructions. The templates are SWS formatted, have all the elements needed that match the rubric, and have tips so you gain the most points. As a final note, there were a few minor grammatical issues with this paper. Please make sure to proofread your paper before submitting it. One of the best ways to do this is to read it aloud. Hearing what you've written is a great way to catch grammatical issues. A 5% deduction was applied for submitting the work late

You accurately described the feedback you received. You also explained how the feedback will be used to improve your marketing plan. This shows an understanding of how to use feedback to improve your overall product. You also re- introduce your hypothetical business and introduced the contents of the remainder of this section of your marketing plan. Brand Strategy: I would have liked more rationale on how these choices resonate with your target market. Most of your branding elements of the name, logo, slogan and brand extension were provided. Does the name of your business mean something to your consumer? Will they understand the benefit of your business when they see your logo? What about your slogan? Will your consumer understand exactly what your business is all about when they see your slogan? Finally, did you provide a brand extension that is a logical fit with your hypothetical business? Target Market: Your primary target audience was defined very well. You effectively described your ideal customer through the demographic, psychographic, geographic and behavioral characteristics needed to communicate with your target audience. You did not, however, use enough relevant bases of segmentation to describe your secondary audiences. Remember that demographic, geographic, psychographic and behavioral bases that describe your secondary target audience need to be separate and distinct from your primary audience. Your plan did not demonstrate this knowledge. Positioning Statement and Perceptual Map: The perceptual map clearly shows where you fall within the competition. Your perceptual map was created using two logical attributes of purchase. You included enough competitors to obtain a solid indication of your market and where you can effectively compete with your hypothetical business. Your positioning statement is relevant and includes the statement of who you are talking to, who you are better than and why you are better than them. This is important because it is the start of your marketing strategy and will guide your communication with your target audience. Consumer Behavior: You need to explain more about your target market's consumer behavior – lifestyle values, attributes, wants and needs, etc. with the brand name, logo, slogan and brand extension. Why will your brand resonate with them. It is not clear how and why you developed your branding elements to impact the consumer buying process for your target audience. This section is a good section to use scholarly resources to validate your target market’s consumer behavior. References and Citations: Your paper used three (3) academic, peer reviewed references as quantitative marketing research to determine the feasibility of your product / service. In order to receive most points, you must submit four (4) or more. You showed a clear understanding of academic, peer reviewed references. Most of your SWS formatting for your references is correct. Mechanics: There were a few grammatical issues with this paper. Please make sure to proofread your paper before submitting it. One of the best ways to do this is to read it aloud. Hearing what you've written is a great way to catch grammatical issues.
