fin100 week 4 discussion RESPONSE

/in /by

Please respond to this post in 5 sentences or more.

I received a phone call in 2007 asking me to come to work for an established auto loan company that was placing an office in Billings. The offer came with a wonderful pay raise that I couldn’t refuse. I had been with my current employer for five years, and was making less than $10/hour. This position offered a $5/raise. I went to work for United Auto Credit Corporation two weeks later. We offered sub-prime lending for auto loans at an interest rate of 24%! I knew this was highway robbery, however, they thrived and were providing me a paycheck.

As 2008 began, we were excited to be starting a new chapter in our lives, I had a great job, we listed our smaller home for sale, and placed an offer on a new home. Slowly, that would all crumble. We began noticing the corporate offices tightening the reigns on what we were allowed to fund, making it nearly impossible for us to approve loans. In April 2008, the vice president of the company walked in the door and closed us down. The company continued to crumble. As the credit crisis may have begun with mortgages, it certainly went downstream to affect almost everyone that took out any type of loan during that time.

We took our home off the market immediately, not knowing when and if I would find a new and comparable paying job. I took a job with GE, and started in July. I was optimistically cautious about this new corporate job. It took me 3 years there to feel comfortable with the idea of trying to sell our home again. I stayed with GE for over 5 years, and as I noticed them outsourcing our jobs, I knew what was to come. I made the decision to take an opportunity to stay home with my children and open a small in-home daycare.

Although it has been nearly 10 years since the credit crisis, I still am cautious when it comes to taking out loans, and overextending ourselves. The credit crisis definitely taught me a lot. I feel that many people still feel the effects from it, from lower paying jobs, to rebuilding lives after losing everything they had. Although I have bounced back from it, I believe I still feel the effects of it in terms of being cautious.

Promotion and the Product life cycle

/in /by

Purpose of Assignment

All products/services go through a life cycle of NPI (new product introduction), growth, maturity and decline. These various stages affect the marketing strategy and promotional efforts. In Week 3, you will incorporate a product strategy that addresses at least 3 areas of the product life cycle. The primary objective of this assignment is to allow the student to demonstrate an understanding of the factors that can affect the launch of a product or service. A secondary objective is to understand the differences in a product launch in the U.S. (domestic market) and an international market.

Assignment Steps

Generate a minimum 700-word product strategy in Microsoft® Word.

Incorporate a product strategy that addresses the following:

  • At least three areas of the product life cycle (NPI-new product introduction, growth, maturity and decline).
  • How you will measure (what metrics will be used to determine success or failure) the marketing activities.
  • Create at least two different types of media methods for the products. One media method must be a print method and one must be non-print. A media method is a media strategy which highlights your product. For example, (this cannot be used in this assignment), a non-print media method would be a Facebook campaign that provides a user a reward for each review, positive or negative, posted about the use/appearance/price/etc. of the product. In your assignment, you should have 2-3 sentences about each media method (i.e. one paragraph of what you would do, not how to do it).
  • Address three elements of the Product and Promotion List (see below).
    • Product and Promotion List:
      • Integrated Marketing Communication
      • Advertising Strategy/Objectives
      • Push and Pull
      • Media Strategy
      • Advertising Execution
      • Direct Marketing
      • Public Relations/Strategies
      • Positioning

The plan will be a continuation of your global or multi-regional company you chose in Week 1. This will be incorporated into your overall marketing plan for Week 6.

Note: Charts/graphs/tables do not count toward the word count.

Cite a minimum of three peer-reviewed references.

Format your assignment consistent with APA guidelines.
