Marketing

Primary Discussion Response is due by Wednesday (11:59:59pm Central), Peer Responses are due by Sunday (11:59:59pm Central).

Primary Task Response: Within the Discussion Board area, write 200–300 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

Marketing is all around you. Examples are all around you. In fact, people market themselves every day. Consider how you landed your current job or a past job. How did you persuade someone about your idea? Maybe you convinced someone to try eating at a different restaurant that he or she was not familiar with.

To help start brainstorming how to market your client’s product, discuss the following:

• Write your own definition of marketing.
• Research and cite a definition of marketing from a reliable source.
• From a personal perspective, what is one way that you market yourself? Provide an example.
• Is your definition of marketing yourself different than the textbook definition of marketing a product? Why or why not? What are a few of the differences or similarities?
