Scenario
Wanda is relaxing after a long day of treat baking and turns on
her tablet to check Facebook and see what all of her friends have
been doing while she has been baking Chicken Cuties. While she is
scrolling along, an ad pops up on the side of her page for
“Woofables”—The Gourmet Dog Bakery. Wanda is stunned and
immediately picks up her phone and starts texting you. Her first
text is, “How dare they advertise their dog treats to me?” and the
texts go downhill from there. Clearly, Wanda has not done much
research regarding how her competition is marketing their
products.
For Discussion
- Go on the Internet and search for products that are similar to
those sold by Salty Pawz. Google terms like gourmet dog treats,
healthy dog biscuits, or gourmet pet treats.
- Select a product that has a website associated with it to get
sufficient information about the product for your posting. Put
yourself in Wanda’s place as if she is researching the
competition.
- Evaluate the product you select based on the Four Ps of
marketing. How is the company using each of the Four Ps to market
their line of dog treats?
- In your initial post you should include the following:
- Name of the product, name of the company, and the URL for the
website
- How the company is using EACH of the Four Ps to market their
line of gourmet dog treats
- What, if anything, can Wanda learn from your research that she
can apply to Salty Pawz?
