Imagine you have the sole marketing rights to a new herbal shampoo that you developed from local herbs and plants that are indigenous to your country. This shampoo can stop hair loss and promote hair growth for those who have suffered hair loss. You have branded it Nasure® Shampoo, and given your limited capital, you plan to sell your product exclusively over the Internet and support it by advertising and infomercials on late-night television. You have also planned some social media marketing, plus you are also hoping to obtain free publicity in men's fashion magazines. You plan to sell the product in a 400-gram bottle for $599 plus $9.99 shipping and handling. This price is considered premium to that of competing products, but you justify this based on the unique properties of the shampoo.
Identity the primary target market for your shampoo and provide your justification.

- Response to Gwyn Harper I picked fuel as the product purchased through an intermediary. Intermediaries add significant value to the purchase of products like fuel by providing several key services (NewStream Enterprises, 2020). They handle logistics and distribution, ensuring fuel is readily available at gas stations when needed. By purchasing fuel in bulk, intermediaries can negotiate better prices with refineries, passing on some of these savings to consumers. Additionally, they often test and verify the quality of fuel, ensuring it meets industry standards before it reaches consumers. Intermediaries also provide customer support, handling inquiries and resolving issues related to fuel purchases. Furthermore, they engage in marketing and promotion, offering discounts and rewards through promotions or loyalty programs (NewStream Enterprises, 2020).

The intermediary adds value in several ways, making the purchasing experience more convenient and beneficial. First, they offer comparative shopping, allowing me to evaluate different brands, models, and pricing in one location. Retailers also provide customer support through in-person assistance, return policies, and warranty services, which might not be as accessible when purchasing directly from the manufacturer. Additionally, intermediaries often offer financing options, trade-in programs, and exclusive promotions, making the product more affordable and accessible. Finally, their role in inventory management and distribution ensures that products are readily available when needed, reducing wait times for customers. These added benefits make purchasing through an intermediary a more seamless and value-driven experience. Consider the…arrow_forwardResponse to G.H.
