In the future, I plan on either managing or owning a bakery/café. I will be able to use the marketing concepts learned in Bus 306 by understanding the market and planning the best region for my bakery to be successful. I would want to research the geographic areas and understand who I want my customers to be versus the regions I need to be in to accomplish that task. For either owning or managing a bakery, I will know how to communicate with both the customers to increase the value of the store. I would be able to research the competition and find how the bakery could be different and appealing to people. For both situations, I would be able to utilize marketing to establish the goals of the company and know the best areas to focus time and energy.
Another way I could apply the marketing concepts to my current professional life would be through setting goals. Many of the concepts are very much communication based or recognizing situations where you may need to “sell” yourself to people such as either in a job interview or selling a product. I can adapt how I communicate with others to make them feel comfortable and get my point across clearly and successfully.
