The market introduction project of a new product is as important as its design project. When a company is budgeting for a new product project, it is fundamental to include the marketing expenses in the initial budget, thus, the company will not have future surprises. Dr. Levoy, in his article, The difference between efficiency and effectiveness, he explains that it may be a waste of time if a company has an entirely efficient manufacturing process, however, at the end is not effective, or does not achieve its objective, such as bringing more clients or selling a new product, (Levoy, B., 2011). This is the importance of a marketing project, the marketing professionals can sell ideas, products, services, anything that is marketable, and if a company is launching a product I believe that the goal is to reach the customers. Therefore, to understand well our plan for Fiat Chrysler and the launching of the new Jeep Wrangler Pickup Truck, we design the following schema to explain the plan details: 1. A fast explanation of the actual market and some challenges; 2. Explanation of the nature of the new product to be launched and its industry; 3. The marketing project to introduce the new product to the customers; 4. Explanation of how we will use the Total Quality Management - TQM tools to measure and control the marketing plan execution; 5. How FCA already applies TQM philosophy to achieve client satisfaction and how we can expand the use of TQM

Lululemon is a company that has based itself around a value proposition of ethical production, healthy living and quality athletic gear designed to encourage and support an active lifestyle (Lululemon, 2014). Unfortunately for the company in the last year it has come under fire for a run of clothing that was far below their standard quality, and was in fact recalled for being too sheer (Peterson, 2013). This incident was exacerbated by CEO Chip Wilson’s comments that effectively blamed the issue on the body types of their customers (Forbes, 2014). This series of events served to isolate the brand from two of its critical strengths, namely the positive, encouraging push towards healthier living and the socially conscious production of high quality goods. In order to address this issue we are focusing our marketing plan on three specific areas: Focusing on emphasizing the realignment of our executive to reflect the values of the corporation, continuing to increase the production of micro-marketed goods, and increasing our client engagement by promoting yoga events in local communities in order to re-establish our position as a healthy, active and body-positive firm.

Marketing plans are essential to businesses and companies in terms of coming up with a meticulous plan to market and advertise products, such as food brands you would see on supermarket shelves. For example, marketing and advertising highly revolves around a marketing plan as it plays an important role in organising and facilitating a marketing campaign (Kotler et al., 2009). Marketing plans consist of multiple different components/sections which, when put together form the overall plan as a whole. The overall goal of a marketing plan is to convey the best possible course of action a business or company can take to ensure a successful market and how it can be done and sustained for a period of time (Westwood, 2006). The plan will be broken down into sections and described and explained throughout this report. The barriers of marketing plans will also be explored, and food context examples will be given. The several marketing plan sections, as identified in Kotler et al (2009), are as follows: background information, the executive summary, current marketing situation, objectives, marketing strategy, action programmes, projected income statements, controls, evaluating and the implementation of the marketing plan.

Our toothbrush iss not selling at where we want it to be. While we receive good marks from the American Dental Association, have competitive prices and spend on television/print advertising, we finish 3rd or 4th overall in the rankings. This is not acceptable. While we are near the top of the market, this is not where this product should be. The consumers tell us they have no positive or negative feelings towards our product, and that is a cause for concern. Something needs to be done to boost sales, and being stagnant in this department is not generating the revenue we need to become number one. How can we avoid this mediocrity? We must research and identify a target market and take bold, drastic measures in advertising that will make our product soar to the top.
