Imagine that you inherit a 12-unit apartment building in Cupertino, in the heart of Silicon Valley, and decide not to sell it. How would you apply the concept of Targeting to your marketing of the units for rent? Note that you cannot make the building anything other than what it is - an apartment building in Cupertino - but there are ways in which you could modify the product (P for Product) being offered depending on the target that you choose. How would you do that? For instance, it doesn't have to be a 12-unit apartment building. You could modify it to be more or less than 12 units. (This question MUST be answered.)
