Get ready Read the following arguments, which are all weak. 1. Quest should market tours to professionals in certain fields. Engineers are very meticulous.

Quest should market tours to professionals in certain fields. Engineers are very meticulous. They would enjoy Quest tours if they knew more about them. The statement is based on a broad assumption that is not substantiated by any research or market data. This statement is also lacking fundamental information to validate its claims, and doesn’t provide any information on how the data was gathered, or why engineers in particular would represent a good target market for their tours. The statement is way overgeneralized which weakens the argument. 2. Assuming that most U.S. travelers want to stay in the United States this You Try It

summer, Quest should promote popular American tours. The assumption is a weak one, and has no real foundation for plausibility. I also think that it could easily be proven wrong by gathering market data or creating online surveys. The statement is also very limited in its scope and by focusing on only the popular tours it is doing itself a disservice by overlooking other tours which may also by popular or possibly lucrative. 3. Quest should schedule monthly tours to Norway because it feels like the right thing to do. The statement is very weak, relies on personal feelings, and has no concrete evidence that backs up its claims. The emotional appeal of it “feeling like the right thing to do” disregards important elements such as usefulness, profitability, and demands of the market. 4. Quest tour enrollments were high until Keisha Lane became vice president of operations. Her decisions are clearly causing the decline in tour sales. The statement is weak because it does not provide any information, dates, market data that backs up the statement. It also lacking examples of how Keisha’s new role or business decisions would’ve negatively affected tour sales. Submit the document to your instructor as requested.
