Detailed Description
Students assume the role of an advertising professional for a small,
independent retail establishment and plan the marketing
communications activities from a retail marketing perspective.
Students develop a store concept, analyze the retail
environment, and create a retail marketing plan designed to attract
a
specific target consumer. Learning includes the creation of a store
name, image, position and use of research software learned in
earlier
courses, to define their target consumer. Utilizing the knowledge
obtained in earlier marketing courses, students develop a retail
marketing plan which includes pricing strategies, store location and
design, and the creation of marketing communication strategies in
order to launch the opening of this retail initiative. Students
learn how to develop institutional and promotional advertising for
this retail establishment, incorporate the elements of co-operative
advertising and other integrated marketing communications. Students
will gain an exposure of new communication techniques in retailing
that include customer relationship marketing, managing a loyalty
rewards program, digital point of purchase, social media, online and
mobile communications. Students will examine the growth of
ecommerce and the utilization of new digital communication tools.

unassisted work of the student. Cheating or plagiarism including borrowing, copying, purchasing or collaborating on
work, except for group projects arranged and approved by the faculty member, or otherwise submitting work that is not
the student's own violates this principle and will not be tolerated. Instances of academic dishonesty, including
assisting another student to cheat, will be penalized as detailed in the Student Handbook.
Students who have any questions regarding whether or not specific circumstances involve a breach of academic
honesty are advised to discuss them with the faculty member prior to submitting the assignment in question.

of every person engaged in the learning process. Behaviour which is inconsistent with this principle will
