Every year hundreds of millions of dollars are spent marketing products (or services) that fail. Millions of dollars those companies would love to get back.
Fortunately, you happen to have a functioning time machine that you bought on Craig’s list. And now you’ve got one chance to fix what went wrong in the marketing research process and convince one of those companies not to spend that money.
Guided Response:
You’re going to investigate and document the story of a famous new product flop (and market research failure) and how you went back in time to fix it. And since we’re marketers, we’re going to do this all in stylish, web 2.0 fashion with Storify.
Identify and research a prominent new product/service failure.
The press loves failures, so you won’t have any problem finding examples.
Identify the following: product/service name, the company who marketed it, the year it was introduced and where (particularly if not in the U.S.).
Find a sample ad for your failed product/service.
YouTube is great for TV ads; image searches are great for printed ads. If you can’t find an ad, you probably haven’t picked a big enough flop!
Grab the link for your ad.
Refer to section 2.3 of the text as needed.
What are the steps in a market research process? Provide a brief explanation of each step relating it to your product as possible.
Where was the failure in your product’s market research process? Which step was missing, not followed correctly, misinterpreted, or misrepresented?
What, in a single sentence, is the market research finding that you’re going to go back in time and share with management to stop this introduction?
First, check ourour example Storify assignment.
Now see our Storify step-by-step web tutorial.
Respond to at least three of your fellow marketers.
Explain how their market research failure was similar or different than yours
Try to respond to those who do not yet have three replies.
Answer the following questions about the market research process.
Package all this information into a Storify story.
Don’t forget to respond to your fellow marketers.

Market niches: Digital Show and Tell
Brands carve out niches in the marketplace by targeting a specific audience. And two of the most powerful tools a marketer has for making their target feel the brand is “for them” is how they position and package their Product and how they make use of Place — relative to both physical and virtual places of business.
You’re going to select either the male targeted Sport Clips (a retail hair cuttery) or the female targeted Sister Snog (a London business social network) and describe how they target through the use of place and product. And while words are great, pictures are worth a thousand of ‘em, so we’re going to do digital show and tell using a cool new website annotation tool called BounceApp.
Guided Response:
Check out our sample annotated web page for a high-end pet boutique.
Mouse over highlighted areas to view associated commentary.
Pick one of the two brands and visit their website
Sport Clips or Sister Snog
Identify a site page – landing page or otherwise – where place and/or product is featured.
Remember; place encompasses physical and virtual locations
Copy the webpage link from your browser.
See the step by step tutorial
Identify at least three examples of how place and or product is used to reinforce the gender targeting.
Write at least two sentences of explanation for each example.
When done, copy the link to your annotated BounceApp page.
In the post title identify whether you picked Sport Clips or Sister Snog.
In the body of post, provide your BounceApp page link. See example.
Which brand do you think uses product and place more effectively to differentiate itself? Cite at least one reason why relative to both product and place.
Feel free to pick a different “winner” for product versus place.
Screen capture and annotate the webpage using BounceApp
Post your annotated webpage link to the DQ forum below.
Explore annotations for the brand you didn’t pick. Respond to three of your peers, at least one of which must be for the brand you didn’t pick. Comment on market niche strategies that those brands used/failed to use in promoting their website. Then answer this:

Pizza Pricing Strategies
This BUS 330 Week you learned about the three core pricing strategies: penetration, neutral, and skim. Now we’re going to examine those pricing strategies in action. Hope you’re hungry, because you’re going to be looking at a lot of pizza.
In this interactivity, you’re going to briefly recap the three pricing strategies, use them to classify the major pizza chains based on exploring the online ordering process and then answer a few related questions. So let’s dig in!
Guided Response:
Re-familiarize yourself with the three main pricing strategies
Review section 5.2 in the text as needed.
Research actual pizza pricing
Visit each site, identify your location and simulate an order.
Price out a medium cheese or pepperoni pizza.
Proceed to payment stage, observing the selling process.
Record your pizza choice and final price (minus tax).
Execute your purchase as you see fit.
Note: One brand doesn’t offer online ordering. Poke around their website for an online menu or consult fastfoodmenuprices.com.
A brief description of the three pricing strategies (from least to most expensive).
Your research driven price strategy classifications of the five brands.
For any pricing strategy where you have multiple brands, rank them from least to most expensive.
Include the kind of pizza you priced out, your recorded prices and any other pertinent notes.
Your classifications may differ from others. That’s okay.

Finding and Targeting Your People
Geodemographic Segmentation: Finding Your People
Geodemographics is a common and effective means to segment potential customers. Leveraging both demographic (e.g., gender, age, income, marital status) and psychographic (e.g., habits, hobbies, spending habits, values) data, households can be classified into segments and the relative attractiveness of these segments for your product or service can be determined.
In this interactivity, you’re going to take a geodemographic system (Prizm Premier) and determine which segment best describes you. Then, exploring map data, you’ll assess how common your segment is for where you live and where you could live amongst more people like yourself! Finally, with knowledge of your segment’s profile, you’re going to suggest a promotion for your internship brand targeted specifically to your segment.
Guided Response:
Begin by perusing the Prizm Premier interactive tutorial.
You’ll note there are 68 segments. Fortunately these are broken into 11 lifestage groups that provide a more manageable starting point.
Visit thePrizm Premier Lifestage Groups page and determine the following:
The lifestage group and segment that best matches you
How common your segment is where you live
Where you could move to find more of “your people”
How to do all that? Our step by step Prizm Premier Tutorial reveals all.
Imagine you’re executing a targeted promotion. Tell us the product or service and deal that you will pitch your segment and justify its appeal.
Feel free to package products or services together.
Your Premier Prizmlifestage group
Your Premier Prizm segment and the characteristics driving your choice
The “popularity” index of your selected segment where you live
The high indexing area for your segment that you’ve chosen and its value. Tell us what town is in your county that we might have heard of (or any other attraction).
Your segment specific targeted promotional offer and rationale
Create a promotion from your mentor marketer to target your segment.

As you are likely aware, your internship brand doesn’t just do business in the U.S. So, in this interactivity, we’re going to research their past entry into a foreign market. But rather than writing about it, we’re going to talk about it — by creating a short podcast.
Guided Response:
Check out our sample podcast about GroupOn in China
Listen to the sample podcast.
Identify a specific country to analyze your brand’s entry into
First identify the countries your mentor marketer does business in. Or did. Check out the corporate website. Or the latest annual report.
Then search your brand in business periodicals such as Forbes in conjunction with country names or terms like “foreign” or “international.” See which markets have been written about and select one.
When did your mentor marketer enter this foreign market?
What specific challenges did entering this market present? (e.g., cultural norms, language barriers, local competition, government regulations, economic conditions, etc.). Identify at least three.
What changes were made to the marketing formula in entering this market? What other changes were needed? Cite at least three examples, linking each one to a marketing “p.” You can repeat “Ps” more than once.
How successful was the entry into this market? Is the brand still in the market?
Try to explore different types of sources (periodicals, videos, annual report, etc.). Tap the Forbes archive and other Ashford University resources as needed.
As you will be creating a podcast, in-line citations are not required, but you will need to document your sources.
Be sure to introduce yourself and identify your mentor marketer and the relevant market before answering the questions above.
SoundCloud provides the means to record and share a link for free.
Consult our step-by-step Creating Your Soundcloud Recording tutorial.
Research your chosen market to answer these questions:
Which P do you think was the most important factor in the failure or success of the market entry they described? Why?
Identify and create proper APA citations for 3+ different sources.
Script (or at least outline) for your podcast.
Record your podcast with SoundCloud.
Post your podcast link and APA formatted sources to forum below.
Listen and react to three peer podcasts.

Let’s be honest, the “art” side of marketing gets most of the press. Everybody likes to talk about that cool new ad they recently saw; however, this is not true when it comes to big data and the advanced analytics being used to evaluate marketing effectiveness and drive marketing planning. In other words, nobody is writing TV shows about a couple of quirky marketing data scientists.
So in this interactivity, we’re going to give marketing analytics its fifteen minutes of fame. Then, we want your take on whether marketing is more art or science and which side appeals more to you.
What to Do (and How to Do It)…
Learn more about big data, marketing analytics, and successful integration
Read the Forbes article “Marketing Analytics Cheat Sheet for CEOs.”
If you want to go deeper on the analytics DQussed, peruse the optional Harvard Business Review article “Advertising Analytics 2.0.”
Post to the forum below, answering the following questions:
Based on everything you’ve learned in this course thus far, do you think marketing is more art than science, or vice versa? Defend your point of view.
Does the art or science side of marketing appeal more to you? Why?

Finding and Targeting Your People
Geodemographic Segmentation: Finding Your People
Geodemographics is a common and effective means to segment potential customers. Leveraging both demographic (e.g., gender, age, income, marital status) and psychographic (e.g., habits, hobbies, spending habits, values) data, households can be classified into segments and the relative attractiveness of these segments for your product or service can be determined.
In this interactivity, you’re going to take a geodemographic system (Prizm Premier) and determine which segment best describes you. Then, exploring map data, you’ll assess how common your segment is for where you live and where you could live amongst more people like yourself! Finally, with knowledge of your segment’s profile, you’re going to suggest a promotion for your internship brand targeted specifically to your segment.
Guided Response:
Begin by perusing the Prizm Premier interactive tutorial.
You’ll note there are 68 segments. Fortunately these are broken into 11 lifestage groups that provide a more manageable starting point.
Visit thePrizm Premier Lifestage Groups page and determine the following:
The lifestage group and segment that best matches you
How common your segment is where you live
Where you could move to find more of “your people”
How to do all that? Our step by step Prizm Premier Tutorial reveals all.
Imagine you’re executing a targeted promotion. Tell us the product or service and deal that you will pitch your segment and justify its appeal.
Feel free to package products or services together.
Your Premier Prizmlifestage group
Your Premier Prizm segment and the characteristics driving your choice
The “popularity” index of your selected segment where you live
The high indexing area for your segment that you’ve chosen and its value. Tell us what town is in your county that we might have heard of (or any other attraction).

As you are likely aware, your internship brand doesn’t just do business in the U.S. So, in this interactivity, we’re going to research their past entry into a foreign market. But rather than writing about it, we’re going to talk about it — by creating a short podcast.
Guided Response:
Check out our sample podcast about GroupOn in China
Listen to the sample podcast.
Identify a specific country to analyze your brand’s entry into
First identify the countries your mentor marketer does business in. Or did. Check out the corporate website. Or the latest annual report.
Then search your brand in business periodicals such as Forbes in conjunction with country names or terms like “foreign” or “international.” See which markets have been written about and select one.
When did your mentor marketer enter this foreign market?
What specific challenges did entering this market present? (e.g., cultural norms, language barriers, local competition, government regulations, economic conditions, etc.). Identify at least three.
What changes were made to the marketing formula in entering this market? What other changes were needed? Cite at least three examples, linking each one to a marketing “p.” You can repeat “Ps” more than once.
How successful was the entry into this market? Is the brand still in the market?
Try to explore different types of sources (periodicals, videos, annual report, etc.). Tap the Forbes archive and other Ashford University resources as needed.
As you will be creating a podcast, in-line citations are not required, but you will need to document your sources.
Be sure to introduce yourself and identify your mentor marketer and the relevant market before answering the questions above.
SoundCloud provides the means to record and share a link for free.
Consult our step-by-step Creating Your Soundcloud Recording tutorial.
Research your chosen market to answer these questions:
Which P do you think was the most important factor in the failure or success of the market entry they described? Why?
Identify and create proper APA citations for 3+ different sources.
Script (or at least outline) for your podcast.
Record your podcast with SoundCloud.
Post your podcast link and APA formatted sources to forum below.
Listen and react to three peer podcasts.

Let’s be honest, the “art” side of marketing gets most of the press. Everybody likes to talk about that cool new ad they recently saw; however, this is not true when it comes to big data and the advanced analytics being used to evaluate marketing effectiveness and drive marketing planning. In other words, nobody is writing TV shows about a couple of quirky marketing data scientists.
So in this interactivity, we’re going to give marketing analytics its fifteen minutes of fame. Then, we want your take on whether marketing is more art or science and which side appeals more to you.
What to Do (and How to Do It)…
Learn more about big data, marketing analytics, and successful integration
Read the Forbes article “Marketing Analytics Cheat Sheet for CEOs.”
If you want to go deeper on the analytics DQussed, peruse the optional Harvard Business Review article “Advertising Analytics 2.0.”
Post to the forum below, answering the following questions:
Based on everything you’ve learned in this course thus far, do you think marketing is more art than science, or vice versa? Defend your point of view.
Does the art or science side of marketing appeal more to you? Why?
