Applying the Marketing Mix

All four elements of the marketing mix work together as a team. It is often suggested that one weak element in
the marketing mix can have a significant impact on marketing success. In other words, a marketing mix is only
as strong as its weakest link. Companies that provide a clear and unique selling proposition from their
competitors often achieve success.
The following Course Outcomes are assessed in this Assignment:

the children’s or youth product line you chose using the CSR database information, and evaluate the marketing
mix as you ascertain it to be for the products.
Checklist:

you chose.
Evaluate the existing marketing mix for the chosen youth or children’s product. Are each of the 4 P’s what they

the competition’s product 4 P’s compare?
