...M1 – Compare marketing techniques used in marketing products in two organisations. In P1 I described how marketing techniques are used to market products in two organisations. The two organisations I looked at were Marks and Spencer and Waitrose. Marks and Spencer is a British multinational retailer that was founded in 1884, they sell food and drink, clothes and gifts. Waitrose however is a British upmarket supermarket that was founded in 1904, they focus on selling food and drink, and however they do sell a few gift items. Both Marks and Spencer and Waitrose use market penetration to target their audience, they do this by advertising through television, magazines, billboards and radio. Waitrose and Marks and Spencer both market their products by advertising on the television. This is a very effective way of marketing new products as over 90% of the UK population watch the television. By marketing through television advertising they know that they are reaching a lot more people than they would through advertising in magazines. However they choose to market them in different ways, Waitrose always tend to opt for a more traditional advert and target the older audience whereas Marks and Spencer choose to have a different storyline each year, for example this year it is based on ‘Alice in Wonderland’ and targets all audiences, the young and the older generation. Another marketing technique that both Waitrose and Marks and Spencer use is marketing their products by using adverts...

...Battle of the 73rd Easting Headed due east on the afternoon of February 26, 1991, VII Corps was advancing with a front of four armored/mechanized divisions. In the center of this front, leading the way and conducting reconnaissance for the corps, was the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment (ACR). The 2nd ACR’s job was to locate the forward elements of the IRG divisions suspected to be in the area, fix them in place, then pass the heavy divisions of VIII Corps through their lines so that they could smash the elite Iraqi units with a single killing blow. It was a difficult assignment, made more so by the weather conditions. The winter of 1990/91 was one of the wettest on record in the Persian Gulf, and had been a major problem during the preceding six weeks of the Desert Storm air campaign. Now the wind was howling, causing a sandstorm that was grounding the Army’s aviation assets and limiting visibility to as little as a thousand meters. Air reconnaissance was limited mostly to signals intelligence data, which meant that finding where the IRG divisions were located, would be up to the 2nd ACR. Like the prairie horse soldiers of 150 years earlier, the troopers of the regiments would grope forward until they physically ran into the enemy, in this case the IRG Tawakalna Division. Generally known to be the best and most aggressive of the various IRG formations, Tawakalna was the unit that would bear the brunt of the coming battle with VII Corps. As 2nd ACR moved forward, the regiment’s...

Marketing Mix Issues | Proof/evidence from case | Product | Value Added Product * Client turnover and loss related to Canadix Convenience service support and intranet system – This support system is only offered to SME and larger businesses, nothing similar and customized is offered to large retail chains that may benefit from an easier way to order PDA systems to better suit the needs of customers locally therefore increasing sales * Service for PDA systems is provided by CCC certified technician from a third-party service partner that typically provided service for several manufacturers products – These technicians are not loyal to the CCC brand and may not uphold the same quality level of service that an employee working directly for CCC will provide (First time fix 30% below industry average). They may also be working on other repair processes for other manufacturers and the CCC PDA system may not be priority and therefore lengthening repair time. Technicians may have a personal opinion on PDA products and pitch another product to the customer * Average time of 240 hour fix time is much above the industry average of 144 hours – PDA systems are a hefty investment and needed daily, a fix time so much above the industry average will result in frustrated and negative customer feedback and negative word of mouth in the industry the customer...
