In your textbook, Feenstra (2013) states, “In evaluating persuason we need to take into account where the message comes from, what the message contains, and the intended audience.” (p. 167).

For your assignment this week, construct a paper that provides an in-depth analysis of the three parts of persuasion. Address the following points in your paper:  

1. Who – Describe the Characteristics of the Persuader: What influences our ability to become persuaded by someone? What specific characteristics must this person possess? Be sure to address the impact of credibility, physical attractiveness, and likeability in your response. Why do we respond well to those who possess such characteristics? Would we respond the same to an unattractive, angry, or non-credible person? Why not?

2. What – Discuss the Characteristics of the Message: What attributes are inherent in persuasive messages? How are we influenced by the emotion, framing, narratives, and rational appeals in the messaging we receive? What is the significance of the sleeper effect?

3. To Whom – Examine the Characteristics of the Audience: Why do different audiences perceive messages in different ways? What is the role of culture, gender, and self-esteem in this process? How does the elaboration likelihood model help to explain the relationship between the persuader, the message, and the audience?

4. Review the excerpt from p. 156 of your textbook, Social Psychology in Depth: Word of Mouth and Persuasion. How does the e-word of mouth phenomena illustrate the concepts above? Please be specific in your response.

competitive market analysis

Stand-Alone Project: Competitive Market Analysis

Scenario: A manufacturer who is thinking seriously about marketing a new product in an industry with which you are familiar has approached your advertising agency and asked that you prepare a competitive analysis of the market for this product. The client will pay for this work on a project basis then decide whether to launch the product and hire your agency to design and execute the campaign.

While this situation is a hypothetical one with respect to your role and the new product, your competitive analysis should be based on reality. Use an outline format with brief descriptive explanations. The product may be for either the consumer or business-to-business markets. The following sections should guide your composition of the competitive market analysis.

This project is much more involved than the writing project in Lesson 4, which is a plan for gathering information that will be analyzed to support a marketing plan and effort. The Stand-Alone Project may be viewed as an extension of the earlier project, “drilling down” and using the methods described there and expanding on them to construct a competitive analysis in detail. In other words, you may use the product from Lesson 4 or create an entirely new one.

Your Stand-Alone Project responses should be both grammatically and mechanically correct, and formatted in the same fashion as the project itself. If there is a Part A, your response should identify a Part A, etc. (A 20-page response is required.)

Part A Research and Analysis: Begin by researching the product about which you will write an analysis.

1.Describe the product and its associated industry.

2.Identify this product’s direct competitors.

3.Specify how these competitors’ offerings differ from each other in terms of strengths, weaknesses, and other characteristics.

4.Detail how they differ from the proposed product.

5.Detail how the proposed product is superior and/or inferior to the competitive products.

6.Identify the target clientele of the competing products.

7.Identify the segments in the target market.

8.Describe the market share each competitor has.

9.Outline the market strategies used by competitors.

Part B Competitive Environment: In this section you will research and compose a summary of the competitive environment. Compare four (4) competitors in this section. Depending upon the product you have chosen, in this section you may want to describe the areas in which the proposed product is superior and/or inferior to the competitive products, determine the target consumer group of each competitor, and characterize how those target markets are divided. You may also wish to summarize competitive market shares, analyze the competitor’s marketing strategies, and determine who provides products that satisfy the same or similar customer needs. Tables and graphics in support of the text are encouraged.

Part C Opinion and Recommendations: The final part of your report should be your own personal opinion of the proposed product’s prospects for success and an explanation of the reasoning behind your conclusions. This is the “bottom line” for your client as you see it. Include three (3) recommendations for steps that will improve the product’s chances to succeed.

NOTE: For an industry you are familiar with your own observations can be valuable. Specific supporting information is also available from many secondary research sources, including the following:

1.Company Web Sites and Literature

2.Industry Trade Show Observations and Contacts

3.Online Databases, including ProQuest, DIALOG, Lexis-Nexis, EBSCO, First Source, PROMPT, Trade & Industry, and Investext

4.TV Networks

5.Hoover

6.Investment Houses and Brokers

7.Dow Jones/Factiva

The Formal Analysis museum essay can focus on any artwork/object from prehistory to industrialization as long its Western, and needs to be selected from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Think of line, shapes, colors etc. What is the medium, since this goes into the overall visual presence of the work?
