By taking this class I have learned that the company I work for does encourage it’s workers to volunteer, they also have a fund for employees that are going through an extreme hardship. I have also learned about the importance of tracking where your inventory is coming from and going.
I didn’t find anything to difficult to understand and my perception of marketing really hasn’t changed much just reinforced what I already knew.
I am wanting to start an Etsy store for embroidery products. This class will help me with that

Good morning,
First off congrats on making it to week 8. I have learned many things over the previous weeks. The first thing I will like to brag about is about learning about the developing and managing products in week two. Another aspect is distribution decisions, promotion, communication strategies. Some other things that i learned were pricing and consumer behavior which was one of my favorites aspects to learn. It was very fun to me to learn he different approaches business use and methods they go by to get the public to purchase a product. Lastly I learned about ethics which was another lesson I enjoyed because, even in the business world a relationship between customers and employers are valuable concepts. Overall this class was very necessary and the teacher was very considerate and patient with me. Great Class.
Part 2
you need to find a business such as your employer, a company you support through your personal consumer buying behavior, or a business in your city that is successful and explain how each of the Four Ps of marketing mix work together in order to make this business a success. If one of the elements of the marketing mix was to be off balance with the other Ps would this change the success of the business? Why or Why not?
