Let's Get Our Feet a Lil' Wet With Marketing...

In class, we discussed DECA club, it's importance, and how it's a great learning tool and benefit to you, as students.  It provides you excellent networking opportunities, scholarship opportunities, as well as some fun competition experiences as well. 

We also started dipping our feet into the pool of water we call marketing!  We started off by the Chapter 1.1 Powerpoint.  I handed out the listening guides, but they are available here as well.  Be sure to get into your book and take care of your vocab and EOS ?'s for the entire chapter.  :) 

We also went over the DEW Tour & DECA stuff today as well.  You, students, will be working on a promotion and marketing plan for Alli Sports.  I've broken you into teams of 4 or 5 students.  Over the next week, you will come up with a marketing plan.   Realize, that not only are you competing against 3 other schools, but you're competing against other groups in class, and my other marketing class.  Good luck, and have fun.  By the way, I need to mention, not only will the winning group have their marketing plan used, but there will be a ton of Professional Development points given, and free, yes, FREE, DEW Tour tickets given away.  :P
