Introduction
Businesses always aim at maximizing profits and this can be achieved through having maximum sales. Huge sales on its part can be achieved through an effective marketing program that incorporates promotion, distribution and sales so that the customer is satisfied. When developing a promotional strategy one must consider customer satisfaction, perceptions, needs and expectations (Lancaster, & Reynolds, 2005). One must also incorporate the income and profit margins, knowledge of the environment and ensuring that the strategy is satisfactory.
Before any marketing can begin there is need for researching about the product market and environment; issues like the customers’ needs and the competitors in the market for the new products must be established so as to incorporate a comprehensive plan and strategy (Lancaster, & Reynolds, 2005). The design and quality must also be checked before the product is launched. After production the product must then be announced, communicated, distributed and sold to customers effectively (Lancaster, & Reynolds, 2005).
The Moller Skycar
Technology has made dreams a reality and with many yearning to fly and evade traffic jams in the city and others looking for cheap air transport that is fast and efficient then the Moller Skycar is the solution. Advanced technology has made the idea of flying with one’s own flying machine possible by creating the Air Scooter (Moller skycar, 2010). The technology has become possible after numerous attempts by other innovators failed since theirs were hard to fly, expensive, and lack of appropriate mechanisms for one to fly in the air uncontrolled.
In view of the fact that this is a new product in the market and one of its kinds the marketing will not be complicated or difficult. Awareness of the product would be emphasized so that customers can be made aware. The production process has been effective producing a machine that is of quality and attractive. “It can fly for 2 hours at 55 mph, and go up to 10,000 feet above sea level. Look how quickly it stops, hovers, sideways, sideways, and straight down” (Leung, 2005). It is very easy to operate just like a motorcycle and there is no need for a pilot license to fly it since it will fly under 400 feet that lies in the non-restricted air space.
The price is so attractive that all customers will get the value for their money where it is being sold at $ 50,000 (Leung, 2005). This will be an added advantage in that other skycars developed were so expensive and were hard to fly in bad weather. The NASA plan “the highway in the sky” that enables air traffic to be controlled will be a boost to the innovation since traffic will be easily controlled in the air thus making the Moller Skycar a success (Leung, 2005).
Moller Skycar Advantages
The advantages of the Moller Skycar engines are; firstly, they are simple; with only two or three moving parts; Low part count means less cost- Few moving parts means less to wear out. Secondly, they are powerful for their size and thus the have efficient packaging systems (Moller skycar, 2010). Thirdly is that they use efficient four-stroke combustion pro...
