level managers
Time frame Longer Shorter

Strategy

Should address these questions:

Low Cost (ie Walmart)

Differentiation between Real and Perceived

Focus Segmentation–to start off in ONE segment and branch out to other segments later.

These are more like unrealistic tactics…

Let’s do a viral YouTube campaign…or everyone is using Instagram, Snapchat etc.-we need to jump in
