...This proposal provides the general architecture and set of strategies to consider for the first of two phases for rolling out the National Plan for Action to achieve health equity. This memo reflects what staff at the Office of Minority Health believe would help the federal government effectively release the National Plan for Action (“the Plan”) and draw sufficient attention to it from the key audiences and partners it seeks to mobilize and engage. The launch, now set for late September, is an initial step in a coordinated, strategic process over the course of 12 months to release this long-awaited roadmap, and to energize public and private stakeholders who ultimately will need to implement it. Through this initial launch in Washington D.C., OMH hopes to achieve the following goals: • Raise awareness about the Plan, particularly among key groups (OMH’s diverse partners) that have played a role in developing and championing it over the past two years; • Spur a wide distribution of the report among broad national stakeholder audiences, to mobilize interest and action; and • Generate excitement among the community of organizations and advocates that work on disparities-related issues about the significance of the federal government issuing the first comprehensive roadmap for achieving health equity in the United States. General Structure The launch date is still tentative but OMH is shooting for release either on September 20 or September 27, 2010. The...

He thought, by enhancing the performance of the processor and adding up more features to the product he will be able to sell the product for $25 less than the currently popular model, which intrigues him to invest in his own project for that he approached his relative who has a small appliance factory. Since Mr Owen Jefferson wife is quite happy with her product so he’s sure that there is a demand for his product. Questions/Answers Q1. Would you recommend without any further investigations that Mr Jefferson invest his life savings in this project ? Why yes – or why not ? 1) According to our group, Mr. Jefferson should go ahead with his idea. There are several points to support this but one that truly matters is that he has the experience of working in a consumer product related field i.e. being a production manager .It can come handy because before starting any business one must have knowledge and information about the market. Knowing what the consumer wants is the biggest treasure a manufacturer can have and Mr. Jefferson feels that way. There is a risk of failure because his product is going to compete...

...Effective communication is the foundation of IMC. As its been defined in this course, IMC is a communications process for planning, creation, integration, and implementation of diverse forms of marcom delivered to a brand’s targeted customers and prospects. The main goal of an IMC camping is to influence and affect the behavior of the target audience. These two base concepts of IMC can be applied in our everyday life. Personally I believe that I will rely on what learned in class to make sure that I deliver my messages in a precise and constructive way. For example, I believe that gaining knowledge and understanding of your audience is an extremely important aspect in life. Once we truly understand and know our audience we can structure the delivery of our messages in a way that will not only facilitate the reception of its contents but will also affect the behavior of the receiver. Therefore, I consider audience research to be a key aspect of my learning for this course. At the beginning of this course my main goal was to develop a broad understanding of IMC and its techniques. I can positively say that I feel like I have accomplished this goal. This accomplishment occurred in different stages and though different channels. Personally, I found the various research papers and marcom papers that were assigned by the instructor...

...The Yellow Papers Series Are you publishing using social media? Just stop. We think it’s time for a new approach. Are you publishing using social media? The Yellow Paper Series 2 Our advice is to STOP. While many marketing organizations have embraced social media as an additional outbound marketing channel, they aren’t quite seeing the results they were hoping for. We think it’s time for a new approach. Has your organization ventured into social media marketing? Have you set up a Twitter account? A Facebook fan page for your offering? Or have you posted some YouTube videos? Are you brainstorming ways to add new fans? Tweeting “exclusive offers”? Shifting your staff around in order to support these new efforts? And do your social media efforts feel like an “add-on” — yet another time-intensive activity on your already overwhelming marketing task list? Our advice is to STOP. Stop and rethink your approach to social media with a new perspective. Rather than focusing on being on more sites, adding fans or getting comments, instead zero in on ideas for engagement, influence and activation — and that all-important lever, trust. Are you publishing using social media?

...Market - the place where offer and demand meet. Marketing - set of actions used by organizations to influence public behaviour they depend on. The value of a product is linked to consumer perception: the consumer believes he will get an experience that is worth the money.
