15 Oct consumers perceive
This module will discuss the importance of a company’s brand and the ethical issues involved in marketing. The creation and maintenance of a strong brand is a major challenge for marketers. Internal and external activities and opinions can shape how consumers perceive a brand and, consequently, can influence sales
How can you be successful this week?
Simple! Read/watch all the links to the resources (articles, website, videos, etc.) posted for this module. Don’t forget to click on the Module Overview Link and read it. Then complete the following activities:
- Read the Textbook: Marketing: An Introduction, Chapter 16
- Read the Marketing Concept Glossary VII
- Watch the Video: Brand Meaning and Identification
- Participate in the Module Seven Discussion: Compelling Brand
- Video Activity: Brand Matching Game
- Final Project Part II: Product Marketing Recommendations
For each activity you have to complete, make sure that you first review the Rubric that I will use to grade it. In this way, you will be able to hit each requirement, and your road to success will be guaranteed.
The Discussion
Start by reading and reviewing the articles posted, and then answer the question(s) posted in the Discussion Forum.
For your initial post (1) you must:
- Compose a post of one to two paragraphs
- Complete the initial post by Thursday at 11:59 PM EST of the module week – Your responses to your peers must demonstrate a depth and think. Keep in mind that I grade quality and not quantity. As your first marketing activity in this class, make sure you deliver VALUE being an exceptional contributor to the Discussion Forum.
My advice: Posting on Mondays or Tuesdays allows you to complete your work on time. It also allows you to be a leader in the discussion and participate enough to get all the points allotted.
A late posting on Saturdays or Sundays reflects a rushed work, and as a result, your grade will not be the best. You will also miss the opportunity to engage with your peers and me.
Final Project Part II: Product Marketing Recommendations
I will post a separate announcement with specific instructions for this assignment.
Attached is the slide that I have mentioned in my previous message. You don’t have to use this exact model, you can re-create your own, however, this is the easiest way to indicate how the company transmits its messages strategies.
The columns on the ends should contain the wants and need of the target market, not those of your company, and the one in the middle should contain information of the different ways/actions in which the company will meet those wants and needs.
Best,
Ursula Wefers

Please watch the following video (a very brief one) that will walk you through what you need to do to submit a successful PowerPoint Presentation.

PowerPoint Slides Guide:
Also, when working on the “Translating Wants & Needs into Messaging.” Slide, I highly recommend you to use the graphic shown below. This example is from a different company. If you realize, in the blue and green squares, the CONSUMER’S WANTS AND NEEDS are stated. The squares in the middle quote the marketing and messaging strategies that the company will use to meet the wants and needs established. The arrows should connect with each other.
I WILL EMAIL EACH OF YOU THIS SLIDE WITH THE CHART INCLUDED SO THAT YOU CAN USE AT YOUR CONVENIENCE.
Also, it is important that you follow the instructions and use the section comments on the slides to expand on your explanations of each slide. ( this is a requirement, look at the slide example that I have emailed you. )
If you have any question, please contact me asap!
