Introduction
‘Marketing is the function that links the company and the customer to
get the right product to the right place at the right time’. (www.tutor2u.net/business/marketing)
while identifying, anticipating and satisfying customer wants and
needs.
Power leisure is a small warehouse based retail seller of fun on road
and off road leisure equipment such as dirtbikes, mini motos, and
quadbikes. It imports its products from china enabling it to undercut
UK and American made product prices even at the small level of import
quantity. Due to the fact that these are leisure products the higher
priced goods relate heavily to the economic cycle and experience sales
increases in a buoyant economy. The other products have seasonal booms
in sales around Christmas periods and holidays. Due to the high price
of a retail outlet on a main high street power leisure is situated in
a small commercial unit located in an industrial estate 15 minutes
away from the town centre in Hove. Because of its location power
leisure will have to rely on local publications, mail shots, and
possibly local radio advertisement to increase awareness of its
location and its mission statement of high quality with lowest prices.
The objectives of the business are to be recognised as a supplier of
these goods at the lowest prices in that area. To be known to trade
customers who will purchase multiple units, to increase brand
awareness, to survive its first year of business and due to the
predicted high sales turn over to break even within eight months.
Marketing aims
We think that initially we shall plan to start by advertising in the
local trade magazines Friday AD which has a high circulation of the
target market and is read on a weekly bases, this is to be followed by
direct mail shots in areas where houses are known to have on average
one acre of land the final strategy for the local area would be radio
advertisement if costs could be negotiated down to follow the
company’s basic marketing strategy. Using the product mix the
objectives of the marketing plan are to market the latest products at
the lowest price and place the advertising within easy reach of the
local catchment area of approximately 140,000.

... is obliged to do so as part of his
sponsorship deal. This will hopefully attract the public, increase
awareness and help the image of my store. But to be fair most motor
sport racers aren’t that well known but the main idea of him being
present and the 2nd presentation of the opening would be a
demonstration by him to show how the bikes should be used and to push
the bikes to their maximum limits to try to impress a crowd there and
hopefully encourage customers to buy, also allowing test runs for the
public on the opening day will increase the chances of sales.

The National Hockey League (NHL) is one of the most popular sports in the United States. The professional sports industry is based on profit, competition, and growth. This industry which includes, baseball, football, basketball and hockey has the ability to generate approximately $8 billion in revenues annually. This revenue is generated from, ticket profits, media revenues, licensing fees for names and logos, merchandising revenues, endorsements, luxury sky boxes, parking fees, and concessions. One famous hockey team is the New York Islander’s (NYI), who became the dominant team after winning the 1983 finals. Their fame quickly diminished in 1984 when they lost the Stanley cup finals against Edmonton Oilers, four games to one. The Islanders have not won another title since that time which resulted the team to enter a slump that would be difficult to recover from as fan attendance and sales began to decrease for the team. With fans on their last legs the New York Islander’s management team must attempt to pull this team from the miserable slump they are in. Management must develop a...
Stories were being told, except we weren’t sure if they were true. Rumours were spreading about how the Taliban treated people, but time went by and nothing changed. When the world started to fall silent, Malala Yousafzai, with all her courage and strength, spoke up. She has suffered for doing that, but she doesn’t regret it. Every word she says is expressed with concern. She knows that even her small voice, can and has, changed the world. Malala Yousafzai is a young activist from Swat Valley, Pakistan. In my opinion she is one of the most influential people living and that’s why I’m going to talk about her struggle, her accomplishments and what she wants and will try to change until the day she dies.
The product sales of the company?s newly launched product Kathon MWX are well below the target set in the marketing plan for 1984. Despite its superior quality, the consumers have shown little inclination to adopt this product.
Breastfeeding is when a woman feeds her child from her breast. Breastfeeding has been around since before the 15th century. In addition to strengthening the bond between a mother and her baby, breastfeeding offers a number of benefits for both a mother and her child. Babies who are breastfed have lower risk of meningitis, various cancers, diabetes, respiratory illnesses, bacterial and viral infections, childhood leukemia, allergies and obesity. Mothers have a reduced risk of breast and ovarian cancer, as well as osteoporosis. All mothers no matter where they are weather it be the mall, park, restaurant, or just out running errands need to have their right to breastfeed protected.
Many times in life, people are faced with choices that object to their own personal interests. The main character in “Anthem”, Equality, had to struggle with these choices as the story progressed. In the book,”Anthem” by Ayn Rand, the role of the conflicts of conformity and individuality are to make Equality develop as a character during his quest for freedom.
There many advantages to breastfeeding! Research shows that breastfed infants have fewer and shorter episodes of illness. The nutrition provided by breastmilk benefits the baby’s IQ. The skin-to-skin contact encouraged by breastfeeding offers babies greater emotional security and enhances bonding. Breastfeeding appears to reduce the risk of obesity and hypertension for the infant later in life. Breastfeeding delays the onset of hereditary allergic disease, and lowers the risk of developing allergic disease. Breastfeeding helps the baby’s immune system mature, protecting the baby in the meantime from viral, bacteria, and parasitic infections. Breastfeeding protects against developing chronic diseases such as: celiac disease, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, and childhood cancers. (Shinskie and Lauwers, 2002)

Breast feeding has been in practice for a very long time, as early as 2000 BC. Before the invention of formula, bottles, and pumps this was the safest most common way for a mother to feed their infants. In fact, for 99% of human history breast milk was the sole source of nutrition for children until the age of two. In today’s society there are many different and opposing personal stand points on where or not a mother should breast feed their children. It is a very controversial topic with many variables. In breast feeding there are several benefits, reasons, and cultural effects that go into making the decision to engage or stay away from breast feeding. There is also historical causes and cultural differences that lead influence a mothers choice to engage in breast feeding.
Within the past few years, scientist have made several breakthroughs with human stem cells. These breakthroughs have catapulted the issue of stem cell research into the middle of a national debate. Most people have no problem with the research itself, however the source of the stem cells (adult or human embryos) used in research is the primary cause of the debate. Some people feel that destroying an embryo is comparable to murder, even if the research it promotes may help people with serious illnesses. Other believe that an embryo is not a person and therefore research on an embryo is the same as research on any other group of cells.
In the fall of 2012, a young Pakistani female was shot in the head by the Taliban while riding the bus home from school, but being shot was only one of the trails Malala Yousafzai was to overcome. Malala’s injuries were too great to be dealt with in hospitals in Pakistan; thus, she was transferred to England to undergo surgery. While in England Malala’s story became so popular that the United Nations heard of how she was shot and as a result, she had become an advocate for education; therefore, on July of 2013, at the age of sixteen, Malala, was invited to speak about her experience at the United Nation’s headquarters in New York. Her speech was intended to inform people of an epidemic that has invaded not only the Middle East but also
The autobiography I am Malala by Malala Yousafzai begins with the scene of young pakistani education and women’s rights activist Malala being shot in the head. Her school bus had been stopped by the Taliban who, after asking which of the girls was Malala, put a bullet into her head. Malala ends the powerful prologue with the words “Who is Malala? I am Malala and this is my story” (9). Malala then rewinds to the story of her birth and how in Pakistan, no one congratulated her parents when she was born because she was a girl. Pakistani culture pushes for the birth of a boy as an islamic majority country. However, her father saw the potential in his daughter as a great leaser and named her after one of the great female leaders in Pakistan- Malalai of Maiwand who inspired the Afghan people, who were losing hope, to spur the army to victory against the British/Indian forces. Malala describes life in Mingora, Swat Valley, Pakistan. She outlines the Indian- Pakistan revolution and the shift of the Pashtun people into the Swat Valley. Malala’s father grew up in Shahpur but struggled to get his education in the town where he met Malala’s mother. They married and his dream of building a school, Khushal Public School, became reality when they moved into Mingora.
Breastfeeding provides a wide array of health benefits for both baby and mother, while simultaneously enhancing the bond between mom and her baby. Mothers who breastfeed have a lower risk of ovarian and pre-menopausal breast cancer. Their babies see a boost in cognitive development, as well as lowering their chances of being obese as adults, unlike formula fed babies. Consequently, a lower risk of obesity correlates to a lower incident of a wide array of comorbidities such as
