our target market for our product is for single and masculine females needing for an scent that makes them feel delighted, secure and stand out from the rest of the bunch.For example, females that either live the single life, or females that just got out of a relationship, and ready to start new again. I estimate that this market would be a gigantic market based on the high divorce rate.

our target market strategies would be to establish get involved with dating services and advertise with them, but also do sponsorships for their events to put our brand on the map.

situation or swot analysis - marketing plan part 3

Strengths: of our company and our project would be our fragrance is unique and innovative by using natural honey as the main ingredients. This provides us with a niche market. We are spending more on marketing and research on our product, this helps our company and our product to get the full media exposure to the public. Overseas production helps keep our production costs low.

Weaknesses: too much exposure might decrease our product value, and attract cheaper clients. Not everyone wants to wear or use the same fragrance as everyone else.

external opportunities and treats: Some of the external opportunities we might have are going green, usable smart resources for our product. such as: using recycle glass for our bottle, and environmental safe packaging. By doing this will help and benefit the earth. Some of the treats could be people might get tired of using the same fragrance over and over, so we have to keep coming up with new concepts and new scents for our fragrance, which means to expand our product line.

week 10 - volkswagen facts

Sai Lou
Volkswagen
1985-1992. A quick way you can identify an MKII that was produced in 1985-1987 from the ones produced in 1988-1992 is the way the doors look. The 85-87's have "smaller doors",meaning the front windows are smaller, and have a small non-working window on the front corner of the door, making the doors look smaller.
G60 Limited. The total number of the G60 Limiteds produced was 71. They were so limited, that VW never gave them VIN numbers,but "serial numbers" instead. The G60 Limited came with a 1.8L 16-valve with a G60 Supercharger that pushed 210 HP and came as a 4-door variant and looked more like your grandma's Golf than a supercharged monster!
1.6L 8-valve; 1.8L 8-Valve & 16-Valve; 2.0L 16-Valve; 1.8L G60. Most stock MKII Golf/GTi's on the road are 1.8L 8-Valves.
In the US/Canada there were 4, in addition to the MKV/A5 which were available in Europe.
Some of the MKIII's suspension that were produced from 1992-1993 can fit on MKII's. The chassis are similar, the MKIII's are just heavier and are shaped differently.
