Assignment #1
Identify marketing opportunities
Submission details
The assessment task is due on the date specified by your assessor. Any variations to this arrangement must be approved in writing by your assessor.
Submit this document with any required evidence attached. See specifications below for details.
Performance objective
The candidate will demonstrate skills and knowledge required to investigate marketing opportunities.
Assessment description
You will analyse a real organisation or simulated business to identify two marketing opportunities, research potential new markets, assess opportunities with respect to contribution to the business, and explore innovative approaches. You will then prepare a brief presentation for marketing peers to support and explain the two marketing opportunities you have identified.
You may base your analysis and report on:
● an organisation you are familiar with, such as a current or previous
employment, and from which you can access organisational strategic and marketing plans to identify and evaluate marketing opportunities
Note: You should ensure enough information is available for the organisation and relevant market/s to complete the assessment task to specification
●
BBQfun simulated business.
Procedure
There are two parts to this assessment task. Part A requires you to identify and evaluate two opportunities for your chosen organisation. In part B, you will explain the opportunities to your peers in a 15–20 minute presentation.
Part A
Part A requires you to identify and evaluate two opportunities for your chosen organisation.
1. Choose an organisation to analyse. Identify two marketing opportunities for the organisation you have chosen.
a. To identify opportunities, analyse information on your chosen organisation’s market and business needs, for example:
b. comparative market information
c. competitors’ performance
d. customer requirements
e. legal and ethical requirements
f. market share
g. market trends and developments
h. new and emerging markets
i. profitability
j. sales figures
Note: Some data in the BBQfun simulated business needs to be updated by you. For your chosen organisation or BBQfun, it is recommended that you use ABS data, for example, to determine demographic and consumer trends.
2. Research potential new markets for the organisation, for example:
a. export markets
b. segments of the market not currently penetrated
c. Consider strategic marketing approaches such as:
d. increasing market share
e. developing new markets
f. developing new products
g. diversification
3. Using a suitable methodology, such as gap analysis, market or marketing analysis, or competitor analysis, identify and decide on two marketing opportunities to focus on and investigate further.
In your analysis, consider types of markets and aspects of the marketing mix such as distribution, products and types of promotional activities, for example:
a. e‑commerce
b. business‑to‑business marketing
c. direct marketing
d. ideas marketing
e. marketing of goods
f. public sector marketing
g. services marketing
h. telemarketing.
4. Estimate the effect of the two marketing opportunities on the business, for example:
a. effect on sales volume
b. growth
c. market share
d. profitability.
5. Use numerical analysis or statistical methods to forecast effects. For example, use the least squares method to estimate demand. Use estimated demand to calculate effect on sales and profitability.
6. Explore and develop entrepreneurial, innovative or creative options (one for each opportunity) to apply the marketing opportunities in the context of the organisation.
For example, if you identify an e-commerce opportunity, determine how to apply the e-commerce opportunity to the organisation including aspects such as media, web-design to appeal to target markets, integration with existing operations, marketing strategy and overall strategic directions.
Part B
Prepare a
15–20 minute presentation for marketing peers explaining and supporting the two marketing opportunities you have identified. Ensure you complete the following:
1. Describe two marketing opportunities and how you identified them. Describe the process you undertook to analyse your organisation to identify the marketing opportunities. Refer to current organisational marketing plan and products/services
2. Support your choice of marketing opportunities with reference to market information such as market trends and sales figures. Include relevant statistics.
3. Describe the effect of opportunities on the business, for example:
a. sales volume
b. growth
c. market share
d. profitability.
Note: You must use evidence to support your assertions, such as:
a. refer to quantitative or qualitative data
b. show/use results of statistical methods of forecasting demand
c. show results of break-even or profit analysis.
2. Describe innovative or creative options (one for each opportunity) to apply the marketing opportunities in the context of the organisation. Refer to aspects of the marketing mix, i.e., product, price, promotion, place (distribution). Refer to principles of marketing that apply to your approaches to realising the proposed opportunities.
3. Use appropriate language and level of formality to satisfy needs of your audience. For example:
a. professional but semi-formal language
b. technical vocabulary; potential need to define more obscure marketing terms or statistical methodologies
c. assume no knowledge of specific organisational policies or marketing strategies
d. be prepared to answer questions
e. provide for response and feedback.
4. Prepare and keep presentation notes and other materials used in the presentation such as PowerPoint slides and handouts.
5. Deliver your presentation as per specifications (below).
6. Submit presentation notes, PowerPoint slides, etc. to your assessor. Keep a copy of all documentation for your records.

Chapter 8– Marketing plan
Please note: As part of your assessment, you will need to update marketing information for the year 2012. You need to consider updating information where you see the following:
Note: Information needs to be updated for the present year.
1.0 Executive Summary:
BBQfun was established in 2009 by its current CEO, Pat Mifsud. BBQfun offers an extensive product range, incorporating both local and imported goods.
BBQfun steadily increased market share and profitability to 2010 when sales peaked at $10 million. Since 2010, the increasingly competitive retail environment, technological change, changes in consumer buying patterns and confidence has led to disappointing sales. However, BBQfun intends to return to healthy sales of $11 million in 2012 through building on its organisational strengths. Organisational strengths will be built through targeted marketing strategies aimed at key segments and through exploiting marketing opportunities.

National competition
● The Yard: has a limited selection but significant depth. All Australian made. No significant marketing or promotion. The price point is high, but the quality of products is quite good. Not in south east Queensland. Considering e-commerce options. Considered potential treat for entering market through e-commerce because of large distribution network
● BBQ’s R Us: Broad range of outdoor lifestyle products including trinkets and furnishings. Lots of cheap imports. Concentrating on established markets. Strong in the replacements segment. One store in Brisbane. Mostly in Melbourne and Adelaide. Considering e-commerce options.
● Outdoorz: Large operations of only a few stores per city. Mass markets outdoor lifestyles at good value prices. No imported goods. Extensive advertising. Low to medium quality. Strong in the replacement segment rather than new and refurbished dwellings. Gaining strength in Brisbane market. Considering e-commerce options.
Local competition
● All independents. These stores are owned by individual owner operators. Ranges vary according to owner preferences. There are very few imports. Mostly retailing Australian manufactured goods. Collectively their average item sale price is $250, they have a market share of 48%, and are growing at about 8% per year.
One important source of market research is competitive analysis. BBQfun management continually visit local outdoor lifestyle stores for competitive analysis, providing BBQfun with timely information regarding other store’s service offering.
BBQfun do not see the competitors changing their marketing strategy or product offer in the foreseeable future.

4.1 Mission
BBQfun’s mission is to provide our customers with great value outdoor lifestyle products and second-to-none customer service.
4.2 Marketing objectives

● Increase our loyalty customers list from 10,000 to 16,000.
● Establish brand recognition in south east Queensland so that at least two in three people recognise our brand in a random survey taken in 18 months time.
4.3 Financial objectives
Note: Information may need to be updated for the present year.
● A double digit growth rate for each future year.
● Reduce the overhead per store through disciplined management of expenses.
● Continue increase our gross profit margins.

4.5 Positioning
Note: Information may need to be revised after assessment of marketing opportunities.
BBQfun will position itself as a broad assortment, quality, and unique outdoor lifestyle retailer. South east Queensland consumers who appreciate high-quality and uniqueness will recognise the value and unique offerings provided by BBQfun.
BBQfun’s positioning will leverage their competitive edge:
Product – the product will be wide ranging, quality and unique. It offers the ‘house proud’ customer a different option from the cheap mass produced products prevalent in the market.
Service – BBQfun offer the only three-year guarantee in the market. Our easy pay payment scheme is just what our mortgage paying customers welcome. Our experienced staff can assist with product knowledge second to none in the industry.
By offering a superior service in range and uniqueness, BBQfun will excel relative to the competition and achieve our marketing objectives.
4.6 Strategy pyramids
Note: Although financial objectives may not change, marketing objectives and aspects of the marketing mix such as promotion may need to be revised after assessment of marketing opportunities.
Financial objectives for the 2012 financial year are:
● A double digit growth rate for each future year.
● Reduce the overhead per store through disciplined management of expenses.
● Continue increase our gross profit margins.
Our marketing objectives complement and support financial objectives:
● Increase our loyalty customers list from 10,000 to 16,000.
● Establish brand recognition in south east Queensland so that at least two in three people recognise our brand in a random survey taken in 18 months time.
The overriding strategy is to position BBQfun as the premier outdoor lifestyles store in the south-east Queensland area, to command a majority of the market share within five years. The marketing strategy will seek to first create customer awareness regarding their services offered, develop that customer base, and work toward building customer loyalty and referrals.
The strategy will be reflected in our promotional materials aimed at target segments. The message that BBQfun will seek to communicate is that BBQfun offers the widest, most exotic, easy access outdoor lifestyle products in Brisbane. This message will be communicated through a variety of methods. The first will be direct mail. The direct mail campaign will be a way to communicate directly with the consumer. BBQfun will also use ads and inserts in Brizzy magazine. BBQfun also believe that the local patrons far prefer to receive information from the store via flyers in the letterbox.
4.7 Marketing mix
Note: Aspects of the marketing mix such as promotion may need to be revised after assessment of marketing opportunities.
BBQfun’s marketing mix is comprised of these following approaches to pricing, distribution, advertising and promotion, and customer service:
● Pricing – while BBQfun will price at comparable prices for comparable quality, it will not be cheap. We emphasise value over price and back this up with a three year guarantee.
● Distribution – BBQfun products will be distributed through two retail stores which customers can access easily via the large car parking arrangements.
● Advertising and promotion – the most successful advertising will be ads and inserts in the Brizzy as well as a PR campaign of informational articles and reviews also within the Brizzy. Promotions will take the form of in-store entertainment and competitions with prizes to exotic overseas destinations. Social media is considered not viable or practical considering low participation among targeted segments.
● Customer Service – BBQfun’s philosophy is that whatever needs to be done to make the customer happy must occur. This investment will pay off with a fiercely loyal customer base which will recommend BBQfun to friends.
4.8 Product development
It is envisaged that new products will be sourced from suppliers on a regular basis in line with changes in customer taste which is targeted at every 12 months. The plan for product testing is to engage market research firms. By getting feedback from these firms, changes can be made or products ‘canned’ so that only tested and proven products make it onto the store assortment list.
4.9 Marketing research
During the initial phases of the marketing plan development in 2010, several focus groups were held to gain insight into a variety of patrons of outdoor lifestyle stores. These focus groups provided useful insight into the decisions, and decision-making processes, of consumers.
An additional source of marketing research is a feedback mechanism based on a suggestion card system in store.

Principles governing procurement process
1. Probity and ethical behaviour
The principle of probity and ethical behaviour governs the conduct of all procurement activities. Employees who have authority to procure goods and services must comply with the standards of integrity, probity, professional conduct and ethical behaviour. Employees or directors must not seek to benefit from supplier practices that may be dishonest or unethical.
2. Value for money
Value for money is the core principle underpinning procurement. Contracted organisations must be cost effective and efficient in the use of resources whilst upholding the highest standards of probity and integrity. In general, a competitive process carried out in an open, objective and transparent manner can achieve best value for money in procurement.
3. Non-discrimination
This procurement policy is non-discriminatory. All potential contracted suppliers should have the same opportunities to compete for business and must be treated equitably based on their suitability for the intended purpose.
4. Risk management
Risk management involves the systematic identification, analysis, treatment and, where possible, the implementation of appropriate risk mitigation strategies. It is integral to efficiency and effectiveness to proactively identify, evaluate, and manage risks arising out of procurement related activities. The risks associated with procurement activity must be managed in accordance with the organisation’s risk management policy.
5. Responsible financial management
The principle of responsible financial management must be applied to all procurement activities. Factors that must be considered include:
● the availability of funds within an existing approved budget
● staff approving the expenditure of funds strictly within their delegations
● measures to contain costs of the procurement without compromising any procurement principles.
6. Procurement planning
In order to achieve value for money, each procurement process must be well planned and conducted in accordance with the principles contained in this document and comply with all of the organisation’s policies and relevant legal and regulatory requirements.
When planning appropriate procurement processes consideration should be given to adopting an approach, which:
● encourages competition
● ensures that rules do not operate to limit competition by discriminating against particular suppliers
● recognises any industry regulation and licensing requirements
● secures and maintains contractual and related documentation for the procurement which best protects the organisation
● complies with the organisation’s delegations policy.
7. Buy Australian made/support for Australian industry
Employees who are involved in procurement activities must make a conscious effort to maximise opportunities for Australian manufacturers and suppliers to provide products where there is practicable and economic value. In making a value for money judgment between locally made and overseas sourced goods, employees are to take into account:
● whole of life costs associated with the good or service
● that the initial purchase price may not be a reliable indicator of value
● the quality of locally made products
● the record of performance and delivery of local suppliers
● the flexibility, convenience and capacity of local suppliers for follow on orders
● the scope for improvements to the goods and ‘add-ons’ from local industry.
8. Pre-registered list of preferred suppliers
BBQfun shall maintain a pre-registered list of preferred suppliers, following a request for expressions of interest and an evaluation of the submissions. Suppliers can request to be evaluated for inclusion on the existing pre-register list at any time.
All purchases under $5,000 may be made from preferred suppliers without undertaking a competitive process. Purchases above $5,000 where a preferred supplier exists should include a competitive process if practicable.
This list is reviewed at regular intervals with admission of interested parties on a rolling basis. Care should be taken to ensure that such lists are used in an open and non-discriminatory manner. BBQfun encourages new contractors to provide information on their experience, expertise, capabilities, pricing, fees, and current availability. It is in the interest of the organisation that the pool of potential suppliers is actively maintained and updated. Employees should be encouraged to provide reports of their experiences in working with each contractor/consultant to assist future decisions concerning commissioning suitable contractors and consultants.
9. Avoid conflict of interest
Employees and directors are required to be free of interests or relationships in all aspects of the procurement process.
Employees and directors are not permitted to personally gain from any aspect of a procurement process.
Employees and directors shall ensure that to the best of their knowledge, information and belief, that at the date of engaging a contractor no conflict of interest exists or is likely to arise in the performance of the contractor’s obligations under their contract.
Should employees or directors become aware of potential conflicts of interest during the contract period, they must advise the CEO and directors immediately.
Prior to any situation arising with potential for a conflict of interest, complete disclosure shall be made to the CEO and directors to allow sufficient time for a review.
10. Report collusive tendering
Employees should be aware of anti-competitive practices such as collusive tendering. Any evidence of suspected collusion in tendering should be brought to the attention of the CEO and directors.
11. Competitive process
It is a basic principle of procurement that a competitive process should be used unless there are justifiable circumstances. For purchases under $5,000, the list of preferred suppliers may be used. The type of competitive process can vary depending on the size and characteristics of the contract to be awarded.
12. Direct invitation (selective or restricted tendering)
A process of direct sourcing to tender may be used. This may involve:
● an invitation to organisations deemed appropriately qualified for a particular product or service (this may be appropriate for specialised requirements in markets where there is a limited number of suppliers or service providers)
● an invitation to tender to organisations on BBQfun’s pre-registered list of preferred suppliers if applicable.
13. Evaluation and contract award
For projects being awarded, consideration will be given not only to the most economically advantageous tender, but also to the track record of the tender respondent and the degree of confidence that the panel has in the quality if the bid. It will be the normal practice to have the evaluation of tenders carried out by a team with the requisite competency.
14. Results of tendering process
All tender respondents should be informed in writing of the result of a tendering process immediately after a contract has been awarded.

Assignment #2
Evaluate marketing opportunities
Submission details
The assessment task is due on the date specified by your assessor. Any variations to this arrangement must be approved in writing by your assessor.
Submit this document with any required evidence attached. See specifications below for details.
Performance objective
The candidate will demonstrate skills and knowledge required to investigate marketing opportunities and evaluate required changes to current operations.
Assessment description
In response to a simulated business scenario, you will evaluate three marketing opportunities that have been identified for you, rank them in terms of viability and likely contribution to the business, and assess the impact of the top-ranked opportunity on operations. You will then prepare a report for the board of directors documenting identified marketing opportunities and required changes.
Procedure
There are two parts to this assessment task. Both parts relate to three new opportunities that need to be evaluated. Part A requires you to read all materials and to evaluate and complete the information in the BBQfun sales data worksheet. In part B you will prepare a report for a board of directors to outline, evaluate and rank the opportunities.
Part A
1. Read all materials required for this activity: this procedure, BBQfun simulated business, information supplied in the scenario, and information supplied in the BBQfun sales data worksheet of this assessment task.
Scenario
You are the marketing manager at BBQfun. You and your team have identified three marketing opportunities to evaluate. They are:
● manufacture and sell own brand
● sell products through e-commerce
● sell products at bargain prices
The first opportunity is to manufacture and retail own-branded barbecues and products. Manufacture would take place at a leased plant in India as BBQfun has no manufacturing capability. Also, manufacture in Australia would be too expensive.
The second opportunity is to offer all products in an online store. Stock could be stored at no extra cost at existing stores. Customers would cover delivery costs.
The third option is to aim to increase market share by cutting the cost of products and aiming at mass appeal.
Further information is provided in the BBQfun sales data worksheet.
Each opportunity will be promoted through a $500,000 television, internet and email advertising campaign (cost accounted for in approved budget).
You will need to review the BBQfun simulated business information to determine organisational fit, profitability and operational implications for each of the three opportunities.
On the basis of the profitability index (opportunity cost estimated to be 8%) and a full appreciation of other, non-financial factors, you will need to rank these opportunities and choose one top-rated opportunity for further evaluation.
After ranking the three opportunities, you will complete your evaluation in terms of impact on operations. Information is provided in the BBQfun sales data worksheet.
You will then need to provide a report to the board of directors documenting your evaluation of identified marketing opportunities and required changes to operations. |
2. Using all the information you have been provided with, fill in the blank spaces (shaded boxes) in the BBQfun sales data worksheet in the following order:
a. Forecast the total market potential for 2012/13.
b. Use the market share for each opportunity and the total market potential to forecast the number of buyers in each category for the e-commerce market opportunity.
c. Use the number of buyers from market potential tables to calculate the unit sales volumes for the e-commerce and bargain market opportunities.
d. From this information, calculate estimated total revenue and gross profit.
e. Use the additional fixed costs and the BBQfun simulated budget to determine the net profit for each opportunity.
f. Use gross profit and total fixed costs from each opportunity to calculate the profitability index for each opportunity.
g. Use information from this assessment task and the BBQfun simulated business to calculate total cost of operational changes.
3. Complete your own research to supplement the information you have been provided with. Ensure that you have all the information that will enable you to address all the requirements of the report.
Part B
1. Complete a report according to the following requirements.
2. Referring to the BBQfun simulated business documentation, analyse the three opportunities outlined in the scenario in terms of likely fit with organisational goals and capabilities. Consider:
a. organisational marketing plan, structure, products and services
b. principles of marketing and the marketing mix
c. additional marketing information such as survey results in the BBQfun sales data worksheet.
3. Using information in the BBQfun sales data worksheet, evaluate each opportunity in terms of impact to current business and customer base. Evaluation should include investigation of:
a. sales volume for each opportunity in FY 2012/13
b. gross and net profit for each opportunity FY 2012/13
c. use numerical analysis or statistical methods to forecast, for example, the size of potential markets in FY2012/13.
4. consider also:
a. impact on growth plans
b. market share
c. knockout factors to rule out opportunities.
5. Assess external factors which may be relevant to each opportunity. Identify all of:
a. codes of practice and models
b. regulations
c. relevant legislation.
6. Refer to relevant BBQfun policies and procedures.
7. Referring to BBQfun simulated business documentation, summarise major costs, benefits and risks associated with each opportunity, including risks associated with potential competitors. Identify at least two strategies or approaches to mitigate risk.
8. Using information in the BBQfun sales data worksheet, assess the return on investment for each opportunity. Calculate the profitability index for each opportunity.
9. Based on your analysis so far, rank each of the three marketing opportunities. Justify your ranking in terms of both financial and non-financial factors (such as organisational fit).
10. Using information from the BBQfun sales data worksheet, for the top-ranked marketing opportunity, identify changes to current operations in order to take advantage of the opportunity. Ensure changes identified are adequate to:
a. service an increased or different customer base
b. ensure continued quality of service.
11. Ensure you can justify changes on the basis of maintaining quality.
12. Using information from the BBQfun sales data worksheet, estimate and justify resource requirements and costs for changed operations. Consider:
a. additional staff
b. distribution costs
c. equipment
d. promotional costs
e. staff training.
13. Prepare the report for the board of directors to document your evaluation of the three marketing opportunities and operational changes for the top-ranked opportunity. Ensure you include the following in your report:
a. An executive summary.
b. The results of your investigation of marketing opportunities in steps 3–8. Document the results of your investigation at
each step. Consider documenting each step separately, under its own section heading.
c. For the top-ranked opportunity, the results of your evaluation of required changes to operations in steps 9–10. Document the results of your evaluation at
each step. Consider documenting each step separately, under its own section heading.
