INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENT
Create an original One Year Marketing Plan (in outline only) for an individual property of a
named hospitality organisation of your choice. (I.e., for one specific Hotel or Restaurant if
part of a chain.)
It is important to remember that good Marketing Plans are based upon a deep
understanding of your potential future customer/client/guests’ needs/wants.
Your plan should be well-structured and incorporate a data rich and rank ordered SWOT
analysis, SMART objectives, and strategic options with a clear recommendation, tactics,
implementation schedule, resources & control, incorporating many aspects of the
syllabus/course programme, as indicated in the marking guide provided in the module
handbook.
This is not a prescriptive checklist, but is supplied for student guidance and assignment
support purposes only.
Your plan should be no longer than 2,500 words and be presented in report format in a
Word (or similar) document. It will need to include a Title page with word count, Contents
page and Bibliography (source list) with all source material being properly referenced as
using the Harvard Referencing System. No appendices are required.
Word count - Students must keep to the recommended 2,500 word count, within a margin
of (+/- 10%). Any assignments that exceed this will be penalised by students forfeiting
the ‘format and presentation’ marks. No appendices are necessary. Works that grossly
exceeds the recommended word count will be returned unmarked and students will be
asked to complete and submit a new assignment.
In this assessment it is intended that you are able to address the entire range of learning
outcomes as shown above and detailed in the course handbook.
