Unit 6 Discussion
For this discussion assignment you will analyze your “second most favorite” primary product purchase business or category. For “second most” you cannot use Amazon.com, Target, or Walmart in your analysis. These would be used by too many students as either first or second choice. You will analyze your second most primary product purchase business or category using the concepts outlined in this unit.
The reason for the above is to have you review the IMC strategy of an existing firm you are familiar with. You will look at your own SBU in this unit’s assignment for branding, positioning and IMC strategy. This discussion gives you an opportunity to see your peers perspectives on these topics.
