For your Marketing Plan Project, you need to create a fictitious company with a product (or line of products) or service that you want to analyze and promote. You can make up your product/service or use an existing one. If you use an existing one, you may want to add something that makes it unique. Just look around your house or office and you will find many of them. You can use websites such as amazon or ebay for ideas. Once you have found a product/service, please email it to me via MyCourses for my approval. You should have your product/service approved by me before the end of the second week (Module 2).

There is a great example of a Marketing Plan in your book (page 60) that you can use as a model.
