The Marketing Mix Comparison Assignment In marketing, the goal is to meet customer needs and make a profit. To reach this goal, marketers create a plan of action using the four elements called the Four Ps. The Four Ps are product, place, price, and promotion. Assignment Goal: Compare and contrast the four Ps of two competitors for the same type of product (e.g., Tim Hortons vs Starbucks). Focus on a specific product, not the company’s entire product assortment (e., Toyota Tundra vs Ford F-150). Specific Requirements: You will identify and compare the marketing mix for each brand/product chosen. Information should be provided in each of the following areas: 1. Product: describe in detail what services/products/ideas they sell. Consider the style, colour, features, packaging, etc related to each product that distinguishes them from each other. 2. Price: describe the price range for each product and how they compare. 3. Place: in general, where can the consumer buy this product or service (e.g., online, high-end urban mall, specialty store etc). 4. Promotion: what forms of promotion do they use? What types of promotional campaigns are being used currently (e.g., commercial, social media activity, use of celebrities). For each brand provide specific examples of marketing campaigns (slogans, commercials, print ads, etc) 5. For each brand, attempt to identify the target market for each. In describing the target market you should identify at least three to five characteristics of this segment (e.g., age, gender, income level, interests, etc). 6. Identify which overall marketing mix is most effective – in your opinion. 7. Submit your detailed information in a professional document such as PowerPoint, Word and present your information in an enthusiastic, creative and visually appealing manner – you decide.
