Custom Car Care Case Study Objective: Complete an analysis of the Custom Car Care Case Study that is found in your course book. Your analysis should address each of the questions below. Be sure to fully support your position using marketing concepts, financial calculations, and facts from the case. Please note: Marketing Managers may not always have complete information at their disposal; however, decisions must still be made in a timely fashion. Answers such as “it depends” or “more information needed” is not appropriate. Utilize the information that you have available, make a decision, and support your position. Special Note: This case scenario may appear rather dated; however, the concepts are relevant today. Marketers and Entrepreneurs struggle to determine the feasibility of their ideas every day, which is a key component of this case. To help bring this case up-to-date, please substitute “Social Media” for the “Yellow Pages”. Deliverables: - You will create a video presentation of your analysis. The presentation can be in the form of a PowerPoint with a narration, or you can get more creative. This presentation should be approximately 10-15 minutes in length. - The video can be made using a laptop, smart phone, tablet or other device. There are numerous free apps that can assist you with the editing of the video. The finished product must be uploaded to your IC YouTube Channel. Please be sure to check the “Unlisted” category. You can submit the link to your instructor for evaluation by pasting the URL into the assignment link on Moodle. - Your presentation should include charts of your data that are explained well. In addition, professional business language is expected. As with any video, we want to keep the presentations conversational and interesting. That means you should not just read off facts and numbers. Demonstrate some energy and enthusiasm for your topics. Feel free to be creative and make the videos not only educational but fun as well.
