The project is to develop a Marketing Plan for a small business (existing small to mid-sized business in your area ). This project will start you thinking about Marketing in a practical sense. You will gain experience formulating a plan, learning how each part is dependent on one another. You will gain some introspection and perhaps direction for the future. In fact you may want to build on this exercise throughout your life in preparation for earning a job after graduation.
