Introduction: You provided a well thought out description of your hypothetical business. The product/service that you will focus on in this course is clear, the physical location is defined and you successfully introduced the elements of your marketing plan. Great job!

Mission Statement: This is a good mission statement, but more rationale was needed. Only four of the five questions in a mission statement were addressed. What does the mission statement convey to consumers/customers as well as internal employees and stakeholders -see the purpose of a mission statement, page 21 of textbook.

Goals: The goals you indicated for the short term and long term were specific, measurable and realistic. You also identified how you will measure them. While you do not need many goals, it is important to prioritize what you plan to accomplish and determine how you will monitor your progress on these goals.

Environmental Analysis: All the elements of the environmental analysis were addressed and explained. You gathered factual information covering each of the six categories in the environmental analysis. This was thorough and exhibited an understanding of the environmental factors. Remember that environmental factors are outside of your direct control, but each of these factors has influence over your business.

SWOT Analysis: The SWOT and Needs Analyses are on target and show how your company will fare in the market. Your strengths and weaknesses are clearly internal as you can control them. Your opportunities and threats are clearly derived from the environmental analysis and, while you cannot control them, they can have a direct impact on your hypothetical business.

References and Citations: Your paper used three (3) academic, peer reviewed references as quantitative marketing research to determine the feasibility of your product / service. In order to receive most points, you must submit four (4) or more. You showed a clear understanding of academic, peer reviewed references. Most of your APA or SWS formatting for your references is correct.
