Statement of Purpose: Position of Marketing Professor at University of San Francisco

I am studying marketing here at the University of Florida because I am interested in the buying and selling of goods/services. I find things like television ads, target customers, different brand logos, and commercials very interesting. Jimmy Johns for example, has really funny ads on the television and radio that market there product. Companies like Southwestern Advantage sell educational systems door to door. I think that is a very interesting way to market their product. I know that I am not into finance or accounting but at this point in time marketing is my best option. If I ever change my major it would become Economics or Sociology.

Orange Kingdom is a clothing retail store owned by Between, Inc.

It is also gaining market share in Asia, South America, and Europe as well. In this marketing proposal, I would like to discuss three service options to retain and acquire customers.

Although the many roles of a business professor are difficult to determine, Mercer University’s mission statement provides a surprisingly thorough account of these roles. The mission statement, “to teach, to learn, to create, to discover, to inspire, to empower and to serve,” may not seem like a description of the roles, but one would struggle fruitlessly to think of a great business professor who did not fulfill these roles. The importance of these roles is undeniable, however, among these roles, learning is especially important and is also the most appealing to me. This appeal is due not only because learning is the precursor for other roles, but also because of my personal adoration of learning.

By following the same format as the previous survey, the VSO gained no new knowledge as to what will increase ticket sales. Lowering price may help, but other factors such as music that people would like to hear but the VSO doesn’t offer, wasn’t collected. The VSO again wasted their money conducting a convenience sample where results are biased and questionable.

It works on predictions of performance that are normal to all participants and would likely occur. It is all about guessing what the competitor can or cannot do which means that the decision made will not be optimal. Decisions are based on predictions and assumptions which depend on initial conditions that are liable to sudden changes due to multiple of factors.

In order to effectively undertake market research on customer behaviour; such as expected prices, how they react to certain methods of research and what kind of care do the customers expect after the purchase is made, it would be best to use observation along with focus groups. Surveys, if used, should be done face to face by door knocking as it is more convenient and has a high response rate. The survey should include quantitative and qualitative type’s questions in order to get a `broader view of the customers’ behaviour. Questions could include “What do you think affects your behaviour

In the article Marketing is Everything, the author Regis McKenna emphasizes the significant of managing strategic marketing. He also highlights that the transformation process of marketing and several important marketing elements that lead originations toward success. First and foremost, McKenna compares two periods of companies. Before technology developed, most companies concentrated on sale or product driven. In other words, during that time, products were displayed as the first priority in corporations rather than being customer oriented. Instead of researching customers’ desires and customizing new products for them, manufacturers and sellers did not pay attention to their customers’ needs and only tried to alter their minds to match products.

Barcade’s mission is to provide Iowa City with the social experience of a bar combined with the entertainment excitement of an arcade. This combination of games and drinks will allow customers to have a unique and memorable social experience, one they cannot get anywhere else. It is important for a business to have an effective mission statement. For a mission to be effective, it needs to be brief yet define what the company aims to do and why (Crawford, October 4, 2016). Barcade’s mission statement does this by stating what it plans to offer to its customers and why the customers will value the service. Barcade will offer customers a full menu of delectable drinks along with our main attraction which will be a variety of popular classic as well as sensational new arcade games. The arcade will feature some of the all-time top grossing arcade games such as Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Asteroids alongside newer digital games including Flappy Bird, Guitar Hero, and Angry Birds. In addition to these games Barcade will also offer shooting games, racing games, pool, air hockey, darts and more. The downtown Iowa City area provides an exceptional location for Barcade as it is home to one of the nation’s top party schools and nearly 30,000 college students. The bar scene in Iowa City is prosperous and the large population of young adults who reside there will be attracted to the unique idea of Barcade. Specifically, young adult gamers will be our target market because they are

It would only make sense that the company is paying attention to what their customers need, want, and think. If the company is up for it, they will create a loyal customer and a good sector in the marketplace in regards to their products.

My connection to marketing started when I was a child. My mother’s friend sold beauty products in gorgeous boxes, targeted at female customers in various age groups. Attracted by the exquisite designs and persuasive slogans, I hoped that one day I could come up with such creative marketing ideas. As I grew up, I gained a better understanding of marketing from my father, a corporate sales director. Through our conversations, I learned that while making a sale is undoubtedly important, establishing brand equity and customer loyalty is the ultimate goal. This can only be achieved through successful marketing. Such recognition sparked my interest in exploring the field of marketing, and the real-world experience I’ve gained since then has only strengthened my desire to pursue a marketing career. Admission to ICL’s Strategic Marketing program is a natural next step in my preparation.
