Final Project

For your Final Project, you need to find a business such as your employer, a company you support through your personal consumer buying behavior, or a business in your city that is successful and explain how each of the Four P’s of marketing mix work together in order to make this business a success. If one of the elements of the marketing mix was to be off balance with the other P’s would this change the success of the business? Why or Why not?
