Individual Paper: Consumer Behavior of a Target Group Presentation

Students will find one or more advertisements or a website for a product or brand, preferably a global brand that targets a specific market segment, group, sub-group or reference group. Students will develop a presentation to assess the behavior of a specific market segment, group, sub-group or reference group which the product or brand targets. The research of the target should address the values, attitudes, lifestyle, personality, perceptions, attitudes, and motivation along with any social attributes such as culture. Students should make recommendations to address how these consumer behaviors can assist marketers to anticipate reactions to changes in the marketing mix or product mix.

The presentation will be based on course curriculum, information from secondary sources, company web sites, as well as professional experiences and insights. Surveys and primary research are encouraged but not required. Presentation must include presenter notes.

Each student will have 15 minutes to present, with 5 minutes of that time devoted to Q&A. All students are expected to attend all individual presentations to listen and participate in Q&A. Students should turn in a copy of their slides prior to their presentation. The final presentation is suggested be between eight to twelve slides.
