The Project
International Sales and Marketing: International Sales and Marketing Plan
1. Select an organization (Apple), product or service and international target market (China).
2. Complete secondary research to gather information on trends, barriers and other key considerations when exporting the selected product or service to the selected target market. You will need this information to write the Situational Analysis and Market Analysis sections of the plan. If you have conducted and/or presented similar research for other FITTskills courses, you may use it for this project. See Usage of Previous FITT Projects below for further instructions. Note: Although not a prerequisite, the Module - Situational Analysis in the course Feasibility of International Trade is a helpful resource to guide this research.
3. Research additional information that will assist you in developing a feasible and comprehensive international sales and marketing plan.
4. Write the plan using the Evaluation Criteria as an organizational guide.

Budget:
Provide details on both the projected revenues and expenses as these relate to the sales and marketing objectives. Revenues should be projected for annual sales over the next 3 years and the projections should be based on the size of the target market segment, the market share of any current competitors and reasonable assumptions about how much of that market can be gained. Expenses should include specific costs related to the marketing effort (e.g. travel costs, product adaptations, distribution channel incentives, promotional costs, etc.) and the cost to make the product to support the projected sales.
