Marketing competitions/opportunities?

[Paula DeAnda]

okay. you can do your own research for just about anything. what I'm suggesting is to choose a particular product (ex: a soap brand, a brand of sunscreen lotion, a school, a website, a college, a shopping mall......)

do your individual research. if you have money, you can employ others on freelance basis to research in other areas too.

for research, you have to know the particular market, knowledge of the product and knowledge of what the customers are expecting from that product and the company. make a list of the factors that affect the sales of that product.

now, you can use several methods to do the research. asking people on the road, going to their houses, asking people on facebook...

standardize and compile all this research data. then, create a research report and point out where the product is lacking in terms of service, transparency, customer satisfaction, packaging....

after that, create a strategy on how that company can implement new marketing ideas to solve the problems.

if you want, you can also email or give that company in person your research report and marketing strategy. a free market research report would be only welcomed by any company.

if they are happy with it, ask them to write you a small recommendation note.

keep safe your research to show it to your future employers. you an conduct multiple researches for about anything depending on the time and resources you can manage.
