Complete 500-word Marketing Task (FORD)
Identifying Channels of Distribution
For this week’s assignment pick a product with which you are very familiar with or take the time to go through your clothes closet and try and find a product made in the USA, or one that you can anticipate being able to research easily.
Map the supply chain of your product as far back as is feasible. A simple example is a diamond sold by a local jewelry store, purchased direct from diamond wholesalers in the Netherlands, bought by wholesalers from diamond centers in South Africa, and brought out of mines owned by a company in South Africa. Identify as many participants in the channel as possible by company name and location.
Identify the mode of transportation used between each stage in the channel.
Identify by name and location the component parts of the product if any.
MT219 Week 3 Discussion
Large corporations have traditionally been the major global competitors, but more and more small businesses are entering the global marketplace by the very fact of having an internet presence. In each case, the products must be sold using marketing concepts that are adapted for the environment or market in which they are sold.
To build a stronger understanding of global marketing, you will identify a foreign-made product sold in the U.S. market and discuss how it might be improved from a marketing standpoint for the U.S. market.
Directions:
Shop for a product made by a foreign firm. Possible venues to find your foreign-made product would be ethnic grocery stores or chains, such as Cost Plus World Market® or Pier One®, that import inexpensive products from other countries. When selecting a product, try to find one that has obviously been poorly marketed in terms of packaging, brand name, or general lack of appeal to U.S. consumers.
-Take notes on this product.
-Take a picture with your cell phone and attach it to your posted response in the discussion area. You will be surprised at how creative and entertaining this exercise is.
As the marketer of your chosen product, you have the opportunity to change how the product is marketed in the U.S.
-Using research from Chapter 5 in your textbook, write your response to the following questions after you have attached your product picture to the discussion.
How would you change this product? Would you change the brand name, the specific audience or customer, and/or price? Explain your response
