Marketing Cigarettes To Adults
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing a plan for marketing cigarettes to adults currently smoking. The target market is young (20s) adults of lower-middle income with a high school education and perhaps some college.

This brand is to be manufactured solely from domestically-grown tobacco, unheard of in today's market, that carry no possible residues of pesticides accepted in foreign countries but not labeled here for use on tobacco. Being made of totally domestically-grown tobacco will result in the final product carrying a slightly higher price than its competitors, but it will be marketed on the basis of its higher quality resulting from the same reason.
