This is also where you post your completed plan
Your assignment is to develop a marketing plan (the outline is there you just need to click on it) for a pet sitting service. It can be any type of service from a small local one to a much larger one.
My advice is to keep it small something local.
It can be any type of pet service you can imagine
Once you decide what you want to do and where you want to do it then you need to complete the plan outline. For the SWOTT just use the table no further details are needed.
I am more concerned with the process and the logic of the process than the numbers but you do need to do your research and develop the financials of the business.
Please get back to me if you have any concerns

Instructions
Students will work in groups to develop a comprehensive Marketing Plan for a business start-up assigned by the instructor during Unit 1 of the course. Students will use the groups that they have already been assigned to for the Group Case Analysis/Critique assignment.
The Group Marketing Plan assignment will require research into this type of business in order to identify potential market segments and their characteristics, select appropriate target markets, design a marketing mix that will optimize the profitability of the business, set targets and evaluation metrics, and develop a full implementation plan. Students should use resources from the optional reading list to guide them in the development and preparation of the Plan.
This plan will be presented to the Executive Committee of the company. Click on the following link to see the Marketing Plan Outline for the correct format that is used when creating a Marketing plan.
The written submission should be substantive, both in length (maximum 30 pages, double-spaced, 12 pt font) and content, directly and thoughtfully addressing the question or issue.
The report should be professional. The Product (the content, the presentation, etc.), Place (the manner in which it is presented to the professor), Price (the amount of effort required to read and consider the points – this is a place where clarity, conciseness and attention to grammar, and spelling and punctuation counts), and Promotion (how well your ideas are supported and whether to “sell” your position) work together as the professor evaluates your work.
