by | Oct 15, 2021 | Assignment

Qualitative research can be an important component for building a marketing plan. You will conduct one in-depth interview with a student who is loyal to a brand/product from their home country. The product must be from a country outside of the United States and from a country different from your country of origin. In selecting the person to interview – you will have to conduct a series of pre-interviews to identify people and different products to which they are loyal — then select a person to conduct an in-depth interview. You may need to conduct secondary research to provide additional background on the product and country market. APA citation style must be used (in-text & on reference page) for any secondary resources.

Note: reference page does not count towards the page limit.

In this assignment, you will obtain information about the product, the purchase influences, where, how and when they buy and use the product, how they pay and access the product. This memo will deliver and analyze five marketing-oriented insights, based on the criteria listed above, about the product. These insights, connections and key learnings, should focus on why this product would be successful in the new country market. Please be detailed in your description/analysis and how you came to this conclusion regarding the consumer and their product loyalty. In your conclusion, please make a recommendation regarding why and how this product should be introduced into the US or another country market, based on market “fit” and the unrealized market opportunity be sure to justify why your recommendation is appropriate/good.
