Hi Guys here is your next blog. Remember to label your blogs correctly (see previous posts for format) and to get them done by classtime on Friday!!! Have a great week.

Sales and Marketing

Marketing research is a very important part of marketing, especially when deciding whether or not you want to introduce a new product into the market. Use the web to find articles about marketing research. After you have finished reading a few articles, write a summary on you findings. Include the answers to the following questions in your summary: What is marketing research? Why is it important to businesses? What are some ways in which market research is conducted? Here is a site to get you started http://www.businessknowhow.com/startup/market-research.htm
Make sure to site your sources!!!

Please read the above article on how people are dealing with having less money to spend on clothes. Do you agree with the suggestions listed? If you found yourself with less money to spend on clothes what would you do? What would you skip? What would you absolutely have to buy. I'm looking for about 1/2 a page on this one!!

Sports Marketing
Find a current event dealing with sponsorship. Use the google news function that I have shown you in class. Summarize the article and tell me how it relates to the class. Remember to tell me the title of the article and the source. I'm looking for 1/2 a page on this one!!
