The text is only half of what you will learn in the lectures. It’s my job to provide you with the most current and relevant information possible; it’s your job to show up, listen and learn. Take responsibility for being there as if it were your job. There will be a seating chart so make sure you are in the seat you would like for the semester by the second class. Please read all assignments prior to class in order to maximize your learning effectiveness in class.Class Assignment:Oct. 23rd-1-2 page written paper to be handed in at the beginning of class. Keep a copy for yourself for presentations.Choose a consumer product (brand) from a retail environment. It could be anything from a can of tuna fish or cereal to a skateboard to a computer printer. Go to the store shelf and analyze the competitive set of the product. Pick a product that you think is not maximizing its marketing potential and suggest ways they could improve their strategy. If you could talk to the product manager on the business, what advice would you give them? If it’s a product you don’t mind purchasing and can bring it to class...I will select people to come up and present their findings and we will have a class discussion about their recommendations. This is our show n’ tell class. ©I will ask for volunteers to present their findings during the previous class period before the presentation date. We can probably fit in 10-20 presentations. If you volunteer, it will count towards your participation grade...obviously.Questions:• How is the product priced compared to competition?■ How attractive is their packaging? What image of quality do you get?■ Is the product’s merchandising maximized?* Examine the product’s communication on the package. Is the benefit clear?■ What is it about their communications that you think they are doing well?■ What other opportunities do you see that could maximize the brand's impact?Expectations on Assignments:I will be judging your work (including participation) by evidence of the following:• Critical thinking skills (organization of thought)• Problem solving skills ( recognition of a symptom vs. a problem, ability to break a problem down into components, discuss alternatives and recommend solutions)• Creativity•  Common Sense2Badm-360- N.
