In a perfect world this flower continues to bloom. Consumers make purchases, our plans are effective and our companies are profitable.
Unfortunately……we do not live in a perfect world so our flower gets “rained on” by our environmental factors.
For those of you who use Crest Toothpaste you will never lookat CREST in the same way again. Your environmental factors are…
Environmental Factors C = Competition R = Regulatory E = Economic S = Social T = Technology

As marketers, we need to respond to our environmental factors and be proactive in our approach.
We need to know… • What our competition is doing • What new products/services they are • introducing • Where their growth is occurring …and RESPOND!
We need to know what is happening in the area of regulation. For example, a simple increase in postage rates has a tremendous affect on marketing budgets!
The economicstate of our nation impacts when and if we introduce new products and services.
The socialenvironment is changing drastically. Did you know that by 2025 Hispanics will make up the majority of our US population?
And, the unlimited possibilities of technology from the internet, to kiosks, to interactive strategies opens new avenues to market.
It is my hope, that as you complete this class you will: • See the endless marketing capabilities. • Proactively address the environmental factors. • Think out of the box!
By accomplishing this you will be able to successfully implement, change and adapt your strategies. The sun will once again come out bringing you PROFITS!
