The scenario that I am writing on is Prince Sports and how they market to their consumers. The scenario provided detailed information on how they promote their product, the thought on how they develop their different products and how they get those products out to the target market they are intended for.

They could also hold tennis “fests”. In which they provide a weekend of information on the sport, some demo’s, a tournament, as well as some professionals that are sponsored by Prince to talk to people of all skill levels. I feel that this would create some branding of Prince products as well as create a love of the sport and the brand with new players. The promotional actives that Prince currently uses are in my honest opinion all an integral part of their marketing plan. There isn’t one that is more effective than the other and to get rid of one would only hurt their overall marketing campaign. I believe that sponsorships and social media are the most effective promotional activities for Americans as of right now, but in other countries that might not be the case.

In conclusion I feel that Prince is doing exactly what they need to be doing as company in the sports field. They sponsor successful athletes in their sport, they promote to the local small amateur market by hosting tournaments, they are also on the social media sites that are important in marketing in our

Besides using the Five-Step marketing approach, there are specific aspects they should pay close attention to. As a part of step three, they need to collect data, both primary and
The company seeks to further growth and popularity via its innovative marketing promotions such as the King television commercials.
This article continues to explain that once a sports marketer creates a product and advertises it on a small scale, “Sports marketers get ahead by gradually representing bigger, more important and more prestigious sports teams, companies, associations, and athletes.” In other words, sports marketers need to have a plan of action to promote their product on a larger scale over time. Also, sports marketers spend much of their planning on the aspect of promotion. Mihai verifies that the category of promotion serves to prove that the product is desirable through advertising, sales, sponsorship and public relations. If a sports marketer follows these planning steps, his/her work will lead to a successful product with a large margin of profit.

Ways sports marketers can promote is by taking sponsors and giving them deals that they cannot turn away from. Organizations understand the incentive in having their name related with any type of sports group as an official support to the company, however they must keep in mind to ensure that they are getting their cash 's worth.
