Creatively meeting the needs of customers is an important aspect of any businesses. Finding new customers for an existing product is one variable that can make a company successful. This assessment provides an opportunity for you to put consumer behavior theories into practice using a real-life example.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

Competency 1: Assess the role the customers assume to acquire, consume, and dispose of products and services.

Competency 3: Assess the managerial application of customer behavior concepts.

Develop a strategy to market an existing product to a new market segment and customer.

Every company should attract new customers to existing products as well as create entirely new products. To that end, marketers hope to create products as ubiquitous as the iPod, or as recognizable as an Oreo. By understanding consumer behavior, marketers can meet that challenge and provide answers to consumers' needs and wants while also generating a profit.
