• Introduction
. Our main goal to build the awareness of the region amongst potential customers by implementing strategic marketing approaches, which are founded on the current market position of the Macedon Ranges. In the same time, the plan also works on strengthening a wide range of available products and services and promoting these features together with beautiful natural assets to both domestic and international markets. Current situation analysis shows that although the Macedon Ranges possesses tremendous potential, the number of visitors to this area is still low and the reasons of visitation are mainly for visiting family and friends, events, and very small proportion for leisure and holidays. The analysis also reveals that Melbourne plays a key market performer, which constitutes 64% of visitors in total (Fleckney & Ruzzene 2011). Therefore, our marketing plan will employ effective approaches to raise the awareness especially at the domestic market with focus to Melbourne, via advertising and promoting activities. These strategies will help to build the mental availability of the Macedon Ranges at the targeting markets, in order to increase the visitation and to maximize the tourism potential of the Macedon Ranges.

It is easy to see that Etowah’s success is a result of their asset-based development strategy. Taking something old and unused and turning it into a unique asset that supports the town and local vendors. However, many rural communities lack adequate technology and/or connections to advertising. Available funds can really affect how well a small community is able to advertise the various amenities they have to offer. As previously noted, the Chamber of Commerce in Etowah became acutely aware of the town’s inability to market and advertise the downtown area and initiated the publishing of a shopping and dining guide (Lambe, 2008, p. 57). Will this shopping and dining guide be enough to draw in more visitors and tourists from other regions or states? The inability to adequately advertise could potentially affect the number of visitors and tourists going through Etowah, which could put a significant strain on the local economy. Many people depend on these amenities for jobs and if a small town like Etowah is unable to develop a strategy for allocating appropriate money for larger scale advertising, the rail excursions and downtown shops and restaurants will
Over the last several years the Writers at Woody Point Festival has expanded. Discussions from the board of directors meeting held in the last week of January 2011 highlighted the need, in light of this expansion, to develop a marketing plan that can guide the event for the next three to five years. The festival could provide long-term economic sustainability for Woody Point and the other nearby communities. With this in mind this report will propose a marketing plan and propose marketing communications recommendations.

The United States and Mexico border fence has been a recent debate with the people because of the irresistible flow of Mexican illegal in the United States. Living in the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, I may be able to see a huge wall or fence being built on our border with Mexico. Other than the economic recession we have to this day, people still have their views and opinions expressed on another topic, the “segregation” wall. Some express opinions on whether this wall will keep illegal immigrants out, others speak on how this is a total disaster both financially and emotionally as in this wall being referred to as “racist”.
Approximately 26 million animals are used every year in the United States alone for research and commercial testing (“Background of the Issue” 1). For years, legislators have debated the pros and cons of animal testing, and laws were passed to attempt to fix the inhumane treatment of the cute, innocent testing subjects, the animals. Although the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) was revised numerous times, “the species most commonly used in experiments (mice, rats, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians) comprise 99% of all animals in laboratories” and are the animals that are specifically exempted from protection under the act (“Experiments on Animals” 2). A simple fix to animal cruelty during testing is to use alternative methods since human and animal bodies already vary greatly. For years, animal testing was the best option because there was no alternative to testing on a living, whole-body system; however, in the age of technology, there is no reason for millions of animals to be killed due to the severity of the testing. Therefore, animal testing should be banned because alternative methods provide more accurate results since human bodies are very different than animal bodies; furthermore, animal advocacy organizations should promote cruelty-free products more so customers know what to purchase and use.

Today is the day, the day I would get the paper I worked so hard on back. It is a chilly fall morning as I walked to my AP Literature classroom. The classroom was full of vibrant colors that match my teacher’s fiery red hair, various pug pictures, and a shelf jam-packed with Mr. Potato heads. Mrs. Grimes, my teacher, is loud, impolite, and to say this nicely, she is an overweight older woman. I hate going to her class every day, nothing I ever do is good enough for her, she hates me all because I am quiet. So, I am very apprehensive about what grade I had received on this paper.
Products or services need to be bought. Without marketing, this is generally not going to happen. Marketing is a planned set of phases, either simple or complex, or in between. Marketing plans include an overview, mission statement, SWOT analysis, marketing objectives and strategies, and, lastly, implementation, evaluation, and control. This is the exploration of such a marketing plan for a new product line of a non-alcoholic craft beer, “Mountain Brew Review” (MBR), created under the umbrella of parent company, Molson Coors (MC).
