For this Assignment, you will continue to take on the role of a marketer for a large corporate company that currently sells high-end products or services. Your task will continue to be to assess the possibilities of selling a less expensive product/service to boost sales while maintaining the quality expectations of your consumer base. The challenge will be to not tarnish your brand while bringing in new customers that will boost sales for the company.
To complete this Assignment, you will continue to develop and present an assessment overview of a high-end brand that is planning to incorporate the possibility of selling a lower-end product or service to a new market. A big consideration is evaluating brand value.
