Create an assignment focused on segmenting, targeting, and positioning. The assignment evaluates a formal approach to segmenting, targeting, and positioning as a foundational marketing activity, compared to an informal approach that combines a small business launch along with a feedback loop focused on segmenting, targeting, and positioning.
Before creating your assignment, do the following:
A formal approach to segmenting, targeting, and positioning is structured and takes time, money, and staff to execute. A more informal approach to the process requires a general view of the market that is developed concurrent with the business launch. Effectively, the entrepreneur manages a feedback loop concurrent with business activities and tunes segmenting, targeting, and positioning activities as the business progresses.
In your paper,
· Identify resources the entrepreneur requires to effect formal segmenting, targeting, and positioning.
· Reflect on resources the entrepreneur requires to effect informal segmenting, targeting, and positioning.
· Evaluate approaches that resonate and addresses why they resonate.
