marketing a start up

Launching the Business and its Website
Throughout class, you will develop a comprehensive marketing strategy for your US-based, local, for-profit small business which includes significant online components. Use of an existing business, franchise, or a non-profit organization is not permitted. Consider the unmet needs in your area (or a place you lived previously) in making your decision.
This classroom provides a unique opportunity to share with peers and a marketing professional to develop your ideas. While the business may not be real (yet), the research, application, and competitive analysis used in the class will be. Your business is ready to market; it is beyond the development phase and set to launch in the marketplace.
