Name of Company Target Corporation
Unit V Research Project
Marketing Plan
This week you will continue your comprehensive marketing plan researching the SAME company that you researched in
previous units. Again, utilizing the CSU Online Library, you will research the various elements of the marketing plan as it
relates to this company. In Unit V you will provide a comprehensive discussion of place or distribution strategies of your
company.
Place
This section will provide a comprehensive look at the distribution strategy of your organization. Begin with an identification
of the distribution channels that should include the entire path that the products travel from the “manufacturer” to the final
consumer. This might involve manufacturing plants, wholesalers, distributors, retailers and various other intermediaries.
Why and how does your company use these intermediaries? Many companies use multiple channels, particularly with the
advent of the internet (which is considered a direct channel). Another element to include is a description of a physical
facility. This might include a manufacturing plant, bottling plant, retail location, or even a unique merchandising effort.
Competitive Advantage
Because competitive advantage is an important goal of every company, address whether your company has a competitive
advantage WITH RESPECT TO PLACE. The idea is to discuss whether your company has a competitive advantage with
respect to how they distribute their products. This should discuss their distribution channel and maybe a unique retail
location (if pertinent). Again, this section should only discuss whether your company has a competitive advantage with
respect to place (product, price and promotion are discussed in other sections). Once you have stated your position,
remember to include your rationale.
Your submission should be a minimum of two pages in length, double-spaced with a reference page and title page.
References should include at least one additional, credible reference beyond the textbook. All sources used must be
referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations and cited per APA guidelines. Include
the use of subheadings (this week consider using Place and Competitive Advantage in Place).
