Promotion and the Product Life Cycle

Assignment Steps

Generate a minimum 700-word product strategy in Microsoft^® Word.

Incorporate a product strategy that addresses the following:

• At least three areas of the product life cycle (NPI-new product introduction, growth, maturity and decline).
• How you will measure (what metrics will be used to determine success or failure) the marketing activities.
• Create at least two different types of media methods for the products. One media method must be a print method and one must be non-print. A media method is a media strategy which highlights your product. For example, (this cannot be used in this assignment), a non-print media method would be a Facebook campaign that provides a user a reward for each review, positive or negative, posted about the use/appearance/price/etc. of the product. In your assignment, you should have 2-3 sentences about each media method (i.e. one paragraph of what you would do, not how to do it).
• Address three elements of the Product and Promotion List (see below).
  • Product and Promotion List:
    • Integrated Marketing Communication
    • Advertising Strategy/Objectives
    • Push and Pull
    • Media Strategy
    • Advertising Execution
    • Direct Marketing
    • Public Relations/Strategies
    • Positioning

The plan will be a continuation of your global or multi-regional company you chose in Week 1. (Ford) This will be incorporated into your overall marketing plan for Week 6.

Note: Charts/graphs/tables do not count toward the word count.
