The marketing plan for my business is to ensure that my product reaches out to almost everyone in the town. This is because it is important for the product o have as much coverage as possible. The business intends to compete with the big companies in the market. Although it is not a recognized brand yet, it is much easier to reach the people and the fact that we incur fewer costs than our competitors mean that we can sell the goods cheaply as compared to the competitors. Being a small community, the good is likely to be a hit than the already established brand and people will be more receptive to our goods. Most people would prefer to get a good at a cheaper price than what they are getting. We are going to pass out leaflets and put up posters so that people can get awareness about the brand and for them to know where they can get. We will give free samples for the first two weeks of the business so that people get to be aware of the product(Ashbrook).

Interview Stories

Question: How did you start your agricultural company?

Answer: I am a young entrepreneur who has worked so hard to ensure the success if the agricultural industry. I finished college and failed to secure formal employment. Lack of employment was a very big blow since it was what was expected of everyone when they finished their education. I never gave up and decided to start my own agricultural company. It was unusual at the time since agriculture was left for the uneducated. Even without the support of my peers and those around me, I continued with my plans and within two years; I had already bought a 10 acre ranch. It was a huge success that I was making more than five times the people in formal employment were earning at the time. It was the best decision of my life. I don’t regret making the decision and, I chose to look at the situation rather differently than how most people do. I have even employed some of my former classmates. In ten years, I hope that the farm will have grown to be the largest agricultural company in the country(DBS Group).

Application

Problem

In schools today, students have access to free internet that they should use to research on their studies and to communicate with their families. However, they use the internet for other things such as browse social networking sites instead of studying, some watch pornography while some download huge movies and songs. Watching of pornographic material and social websites is a waste of resources and time. The time could have been used in doing other important things such as studying. The moral decay in the society today is largely due to the internet(Ashbrook).

Solution

The community college was providing internet services for their students. However, the administrators noticed that most students used the internet for other things such as downloading movies and songs. There was a lot of time wasted. The school decided to cut back on the time that the students were allowed access to the school internet. In addition to this, the school blocked the addresses of popular social networking sites and pornographic sites. As much as the students did not appreciate this in the beginning, they got to spend a lot of time studying and, therefore, obtaining better grades. The school was also able to save on the internetcosts and even though they could not completely eradicate the problem; they made huge steps in dealing with it(Ashbrook).
