Select a sustainable business and product for research into the marketing strategy

adopted by the firm. Seek approval from your paper facilitator and put together key

ideas, questions and the process you will adopt to meet the key requirements of

your marketing plan. Prepare the general outline of the report and begin to gather

supporting information that can be accessed from academic journals, newspapers,

whereas business magazines and other sources can provide evidence at a

practical level.

Reflect on outcomes that will describe the impact of successful strategies on social,

environmental, economic, and financial elements of the client organisation, and

also on how sustainable marketing practices differ from traditional marketing and

find examples to illustrate your response.

peer evaluation form is attached to the end of this handout. Complete the Peer

evaluation form and submit it along with your Marketing Plan. A deduction in the marks

earned for group assignments will be made in proportion to the group peer evaluations.

This often leads to reduction of an individual’s overall marks and affects his/her grades.

Make a professional class presentation on your project involving all group members.

Assume that you are a consulting firm hired to assist a client in producing a Marketing

Plan for their sustainable business.

Your Marketing Plan must be coherent, well structured, professional and devoid of

spelling and grammatical errors. References must conform to APA style and must be

accurate.

Core requirements the Assessment must include are:

1) Research of market potential of a sustainability-related product

2) Sustainable segmentation strategy and target markets for the product

3) Sustainable market plan including positioning, branding, marketing mix and

measurement

4) How do you find sustainable marketing practices different from traditional marketing?

Support your answer with examples.

5) Make recommendations for improvements and justify why you have made these.
