    • Accurately identify where the product or service is sold.
    • Accurately define the pricing system along with its characteristics and impact on the marketing mix.
    • Address assessment purpose in a well-organized text, incorporating appropriate evidence and tone in grammatically sound sentences.

    Overview

    Continue with the second part of your marketing analysis and focus on the next of the 4 Ps—the price and place actions of your chosen company.

    Preparation

    Rather than picking a service-oriented company, pick one that makes or sells products. Use the same company for Assessments 1–3 in this course. Try to go beyond the typical consumer electronic offerings, such as Apple. If you are in doubt about your chosen company but if it will work for the project, please ask your faculty member.
