The Marketing Mix - Place

 In Business Studies we have been continuing on doing the 4 blog posts for our assesment about market day, this is the third blog post so far which is about the place on where we are going to sell our products and there is 1 more blog post to go to finish this assesment. 

Where will you be producing your product? (do you need a specific space)

- We will be producing our product outside where our stand is going to be to sell our products. We need to be outside because if we are selling all of our products there will be alot of people and we need to be somewhere that is hot so then the food dont go cold.

Where would be a good location for your product on market day? (Inside, outside, quiet corner, middle of the room)

- A good location would be outside where there is sun so then when the sausage sizzle is cooked they need to stay hot. The location needs to be in a cold area as well so then the toffee apples can stay cold and not hot so then they can taste better.

Pedestrian and traffic flow (does your business rely on people walking pass or is your product unique enough that people will seek you out?

- Yes our business is going to make people come and buy all of it because I just have a feeling it will and everyone loves sausage sizzle on a nice day and toffee apples as a treat.

Competition - who else will be selling similar products to you on market day? How will your product stand out?

- I am not sure because I dont know if anyone is doing the same thing as us on market day

The Marketing Mix - Price

In business studies we have been continuing on doing the 4 blog posts for our assesment about market day. This is the second blog post so far which is about the price of our product that we making and selling. After this blog post I have 2 more blog posts to go about the place and promotion and then I am done for this assesment about market day

 How did you work out what price you were going to sell your product at?

- We were thinking of an reasonable price for the toffee apples and the sausage sizzles because if we were going to see the products at a expensive price then no one will buy the products and we wouldn't make any profit. We decided to make the toffee apples $1.50 and $2.00 for the sausage sizzles because if you see people selling sausages outside of the warehouse or somewhere they are about $2.00 each and there is alot of people buying them.

How will you ensure that your product is worth the price you are asking people to pay (quality control)?

- The toffee apples are worth the product because they are $1.50 each and that is a very cheap price for a big item. They are worth the price because mostly everyone likes to eat a candy covered in a apple because it is delicious and it is fun to eat with. The sausage sizzles are worth the product because they are $2.00 each and that is quiet cheep for a sausage and everyone love sausage sizzle

What price are others (B&E group/real world business) charging for the same good (use a table to show this)?

- There is a another group doing sausage sizzle but I am not sure how much they are selling it for or what their business is called

What else will you consider when it comes to the price of your product?

- Our group have not considered doing anything else for the price, it is still the same

The marketing mix - Product

In business studies we have been doing blog posts for our assesment about market day. we have to do 4 blog posts for this assesment and the 4 blog posts are product, price, place and promotion. This is the first blog post so far. For the last 2 weeks for market day we have been planning out what we are going to create and sell. Our products that we are creating and selling are toffee apples and sausage sizzle because we have experience of making toffee apples and cooking sausage sizzle and because we like cooking and baking cause it is easy to make.

(Features) What is the product, what can they do, how are they used, what is their purpose?

- The product is a food item that you can eat and sell for a bit of money. The toffee apples are covered in toffee and are on a stick so then it is used by holding the stick to eat the toffee apple so the toffee doesn't get onto your fingures. The purpose is to make people want to buy a delicious food because people like a treat and food every now and again

What quality is your product?

- The product toffee apples are going to be in all different sizes because apples come in all different sizes anyway. The toffee apples are going to be blue and red because they are colours that stand out and the texture will be quiet hard because toffee is hard. The sausage sizzle will taste like a normal sausage with bread and sauce but we might get spicy sausages or chicken sausages just to make it different, the texture is going to be like a normal sausage because the texture isn't going to be any different.

Size / Volume / shape?

- The product toffee apples are going to be in all different sizes because apples come in all different sizes anyway. The shape of the toffee apples are going to be circle like the apples are normally are. The size on the sausage depends on what it is because american hotdogs are long and skinny but normal cheese sausages are big and not that long. The shape of the sausages are going to be kind of like a long oval shape but I don't really know what shape they are. 

Packing?

- The sausage sizzle isn't going to have any packaging because sausages don't have packaging cause they are hot and cooked. The toffee apples might have packaging but we haven't decided yet because we don't know what they would be packed in.  

Ingredients / Raw materials

- The ingredients that we are using for the toffee apples are 20 apples, sugar, water, cream of tarter, food colouring and vinegar. The ingredients that we are using for the sausage sizzles are bread, onion, butter, sauce and sausages. The raw materials that we might be using are for the packaging for the toffee apples but we don't know what packaging we are using yet if we are using it.

Does it fit into a category of products that already exist?

- Candy apples, sausage sizzle

Do you need to provide any services for your product

-  No services need to be provided
