...The Macroenvironment factors are external and uncontrollable factors that influence the company’s decision making and affect its performances and strategies. Therefore, we are going to look for the major trends for each macroenvironment factor and measure the impact on the success of our product. Demographic forces: In terms of demographic, increasing population has an effect on the demand of our products. Recently, between 2008 and 2012, Canada’s population grew at an average annual rate of approximately 1.00%, mainly from the strong immigration, and it is also estimated that the population will exceed 39 million by 2031. This steady increase in population will directly enlarge the consumer groups, which will increase the demand of all kinds of product as well as our four season shoes in current market. Also, population aging does a great impact on the sale of our products. By 2010, Generation X who was born between 1967 and 1976 is served as the primary market. They respond to socially responsible companies that aim to maintain the balance between the economy and the ecosystem, which means such eco-friendly products as our four season shoes will cater to their tastes. Technological forces : One major trend in the technological environment has been the creation of the 3D printer. Many shoe companies are now looking into making both non-customized, mass produced shoes, as well as shoes that are customized for each customer. Two examples are Nike and New Balance; both companies...

...Stroller Cool Marketing Plan 2012 Kristin Vanderbilt Marketing Management 08/16/2012 Executive Summary Stroller Cool is a brand new product that is unlike any other product on the market. Our product is simple, but will change the lives of caregivers all over the world. When doing preliminary research, we found that most caregivers face mounting stress when taking out children, mostly because of the amount of “stuff” they have to take with them. A stroller, diaper bag, snacks, bottles, etc. This makes for a very difficult situation, especially when a caregiver is going out by themselves. Our product is a simple cooler, with reusable cooler packs, that clips on the bottom of a stroller. You can store bottles, juice and small snacks, eliminating at least one bag and keeping things cool while you go about your business. As of right now, there is nothing else like this on the market, so we feel that we our product will sell. We plan on forming a partnership with Graco, the world’s premier stroller manufacture ("Graco," 2012), we will offer that the product will only fit on their strollers and in exchange we will ask that they assist with advertising. We will infiltrate the market with a solid product and will keep changing our product to reflect the suggestions of our consumer. We will focus on customer relations and go out our way to listen to consumers ideas as to how we can improve our product. By the end of the year, we plan on already putting out the...

...Foundations of Marketing Azalea Project 1. What do you see as Azalea’s most pressing marketing problem? Does it lie in their product, price, place, or promotion or some combination of 2 or more of these? Be specific in your answer. The most pressing marketing problems are: • Commitment to the overall goals allowing the appropriate marketing strategy to be devised and implemented. • Location and facility- Does not promote confidence in the ability for Azalea to be able to deliver on promises • Corporate image- small company competing with large corporation • Ability to contract with national suppliers Azalea’s marketing problem does not lie with their product. The product is solid and people love it once they get it. The price is low, which may be a factor as they may not be seen as a “high quality:” product. People relate price with quality. Not only the perception but the ability to expand their facilities and the revenue to support it Place: I do see it as a place issue. The reason I see it as a place issue is the existing distribution will not allow for expansion beyond what Azalea is doing now. The expansion would require the ability to meet the demands of a larger client base while maintain the quality of the product. In addition to the identification of which or how many of the 4 Ps is the marketing problem, I am not sure there is a commitment to one goal to support the growth of the company. They have outlined some broad goals in terms of expansion...

...Nile University Principles of Marketing 301 Marketing Project Done by: Mahmoud Ayman Abdullah El Laboudi Tarek Labib Morid Nassar Ali Shehab Habiba Ezz Mobinil Marketing Problem MKTG Project Defining the Problem: Mobinil faced a marketing myopia in which it focused on current customer demands and neglected long-term rapidly changing demands. Therefore, when the gulf giant entered the market - Etisalat, they swallowed a part of Mobinil’s market share because Mobinil couldn’t adapt to the technological change that Etisalat brought to the market that covered the changing demands of customers. After the 25th Jan. revolution, Mobinil also suffered badly because it was the only national, un backed publicly traded company out of Egypt’s three operators, and because of this, Mobinil suffered exponentially. Last but not least Mobinil’s image trembled and Mobinil suffered tremendous financial losses because of Naguib Sawiris, the figure head of Mobinil who posted a comic making fun of the Muslim Brotherhood. This action was used as a weapon against Sawiris and Mobinil. The Muslim brotherhood lunched a campaign against Sawiris that claimed that Sawiris was attacking Islam and making fun of the Muslim’s core-cultural beliefs and that made Mobinil lose more market ground than ever. So, simply the problem has always been customer relationships and maintaining them. Literature Review The telecommunications market in Egypt is a highly competitive, increasingly...
