Answer the following Questions:
Approximately 250 words, one page double spaced
1) List 2 Competitive Items that you might have purchased instead of this item. Describe the items and note the 4ps for each. (Competitive items are items that are similar in use and product features but differ in Marketing Mix details – 4p’s).
2) Why did you select the item you purchased instead of the other 2 options?
3) What part of the Marketing Mix offered the advantage that you caused you to purchase the item instead of the Competitive Item? Price, Product, Promotion or Place?
4) List 2 Alternative/Substitute Items that you might have purchased instead of this item and note the 4ps for each. (Alternative items are items that differ in product details but solve the same use case/need).
For example, if you purchased a 2-door compact vehicle, an alternative/substitute item might be a Motorized Scooter or Bike if your use case/need is for transportation of 1 person. If your purchase was a chocolate bar, an alternative item might be a candy snack if your use case/need is for a sweet treat
5) Why did you select the item you purchased instead of the other 2 options?
6) What part of the Marketing Mix offered the advantage that you caused you to purchase the item instead of the Alternative item? Price, Product, Promotion or Place?
