Marketing Strategies to Influence Buyer Behavior: Product and Service Innovation
For this Assignment, you will continue to act as the director of marketing for a company and will provide an analysis of how you would promote your products and/or services to a specific demographic target market using social media marketing strategies. This analysis will be divided into three separate presentations. Last week, you submitted the first presentation on incorporating the consumer. This week, you will create and submit a presentation on incorporating product and service innovation. In Week 3, you will submit a third presentation on incorporating marketing in the technological era.
With those thoughts in mind, continue using the particular industry and specific target market that you selected in Week 1. Using that information, you will continue to analyze the use of social media marketing strategies to reach that target market and influence buyer behavior. To showcase your analysis, you will create a PowerPoint slide presentation, along with a written script (in the Notes section of the PowerPoint) that you would use to give your presentation. As you develop your presentation, be sure to include specific examples where applicable, as well as relevant citations from the Learning Resources, the Walden Library, and/or other appropriate academic sources.
