As the semester comes to an end students are to be seen frequenting the library (often causing the servers to crash L). But, with the semester ending I would like to look back and note what I have learned in this course. We started the class learning about the 4 Ps of marketing and ended the semester using them in our marketing plan for Country Life Restaurant. I learned a lot about social media this semester, which I find fitting because I we had to make a blog and use this medium to chart what we had learned. Throughout the course I learned about advertising – where and when it is appropriate and ethics in the work environment. By working on an actual company for a marketing plan I learned about non-profit organizations, how to sustain a competitive market and the do’s and don’ts for running a business.
Even after this course I am considering going into this field. I find the social media to be fascinating and I enjoy creating displays to help merchandise sell. I hope to be able to use what I have learned in this course in real life applications and make an impact on the marketing world. At first I did not enjoy blogging, but I think it is a good application to get my thoughts heard and keep up with the advancements in the marketing field.
