SCENARIO
After working in the industry for a few years, you have decided to make the leap and become an independent consultant. You have landed your first client, Plush and Easy Lawn Furniture, a manufacturer of lawn furniture. You have conducted research on the industry and noted market share, trends, industry statistics and overall background information to be best prepared for your new client’s needs. Plush and Easy Lawn Furniture would like you to help them achieve their marketing goals.
Geoffrey Holder, the Director of Marketing, is looking for your expertise in helping Plush and Easy Lawn Furniture create a positive image for a new product line. He is also interested in what aspects of consumer behavior would help the salesforce increase sales. He would like to present your ideas at his next marketing meeting.
Plush and Easy Lawn Furniture is introducing a new line of outdoor furniture. The furniture will be marketed to upscale, suburban households with 3-4 family members. The price varies from $500-$1200. Geoffrey asks you to review the line and suggest ideas to increase its acceptance in the marketplace based on your consulting expertise. You remember reading about the importance of creating favorable brand experiences and strategies to increase the rate of adoption of a new line.
Additionally, Plush and Easy Lawn Furniture plans to introduce the new line of outdoor furniture to employees at a company-wide meeting to drive interest and excitement in the product. Geoffrey has asked you for your assistance with ideas they can implement to enhance their reputation as a socially minded firm.

As part of your presentation, include ways to create awareness, interest, and sales of the new line of outdoor furniture.
