This case illustrates a challenge that many regional private business owners face as their business grows, that is, marketing their services.

In the past, Lance has relied on word-of-mouth marketing, but has recently decided to market his business in some magazines. Lance is uncertain to as the most appropriate magazines to advertise in and has hired the company you work for, Keels, to help him determine which magazines best utilize his marketing budget. This case shows the value of (1) using statistics to help optimize managerial decisions, (2) marketing resea...

Contact a local club and arrange to display of a couple of your really nice pre-owned bikes. You can probably reach into your bag of tricks and put up a 10'x10' tent with some signage, a section of indoor/ outdoor carpet and a couple of chairs. Have a sales rep trailer the bikes to the event and stay with them. The rep can hand out brochures (You do have brochures on your used bike operation, right?) and business cards.

Ross assembled a team to work on developing a campaign that increased Home Depot's penetration in key areas. Chuck Morrison, vice President of Uniworld Advertising Agency and Gabriella Austin, V...

The ad opens with a beautiful image of Niagara Falls and an announcer saying, "New York is a state filled with remarkable places and remarkable people, a state where anything is possible.

Thanking their customers is a smart move on Toyota's behalf and one that I applaud. However, we can't overlook the fact that Black people represent almost 10 percent of Toyota's American market share, and with a $1.2 billion annual advertising budget it is not unreasonable for the Black Press to always expect to have a stake in Toyota's advertising. Nevertheless, Black newspapers were left off Toyota's latest marketing campaign, sending a clear and direct message that the Black consumer is still being taken for granted and Black people are still being disrespected and undervalued. This is disappointing behavior from a company which was all too eager to send us their press releases and ask us to write stories and editorials to influence Black America to stay with them in their time of tr...
