Step 2: Stop the video immediately before Sharks give their decisions.
Step 3: Answer the questions. 
             All the answers combined should be no less than 250 words
             The answers are based out of your marketing ideas, NOT what the Sharks say and
              NOT what the pitch presenter’s information provides.
              Refer to your textbook for marketing terminologies and concept to submit
              marketing-based responses.
Step 4: Resume watching the video if you like.

Q1. Should the Sharks invest? Why, Why not?
       This is based NOT on the what happens in the show, but whether YOU think Sharks
       should consider this pitch a good business investment.

Q3. If this were your marketing idea, who would YOU select as the Target Market?

            How large in number are they according your research?
       (b) Who would be the secondary target market?
            How large in number are they according your research?
Q4. What would be YOUR Product Positioning?  Remember, if the product is not CLEARLY

       (c) How would you clearly position the product different from competition, whether it be
             direct  competition or indirect competition?
Q5. How (what media platform) would you communicate?  Do not just select Social
       Media – Social Media is not necessarily the best way to promote for  most of the
       products.
       What will your promotional message say?
Q6. How would you distribute the product considering your maximum profitability and
       exposure, as  well as customer convenience?
       Explain your response.
Q7. How would you price the product, considering customer’s perception of value, your
       goal of penetration / selectivity, and in accordance to the product positioning?

Q8. Using your marketing creativity, how else do you think the product can be used?
       Explain your idea in how this core product can be made into other line extensions
       (e.g. cereal made into cereal bar, packaged together with yogurt or ice cream for
        topping, etc.)
