Components of a Marketing Plan Part

***I’m going to be completely honest, this is a group assignment and it seems like it was written by children. I even have one entire bullet point from the assignment missing. All I need is you to read through this nonsense, and create an introduction and conclusion paragraph. Since these incompetent creatures couldn’t even manage to gather references, it would be very helpful if you could, somehow, throw a couple of references in with it. I will post the assignment requirements below so you can have an idea of what’s happening in the paper. This was a made up company that we created which designs and sells lawn mowers that mow the lawn for you. It obviously isn’t real. Please let me know if you have any questions.***
