    Mervyn, none of the Experts here are fond of doing homework assignments for members. I suggest you visit the Important Guidelines page and review what's there, especially item five.

    Other students have posted similar questions here. The third is my favorite.

    Is branding a waste of time

    Is marketing a waste of money

    Do my homework, please

    if you think about it for a monment: the answer are easy!!!

    water: if you had to walk 3 hours and carry the water to you house you would not be happy; PLACE

    if you had to pay $10000000000 for a bucket of water would you buy it or a bottle of coke for $2? PRICE

    if the water was dirty, poisoness would you drink it? PRODUCT

    how would you know about water if you had never been told about it (this one is a streach) PROMOTION

    now you do it for electricty, and next time PLEASE PLEASE dont expect US to do your home work!!!!!

    TELL US WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!!! and you will get better answers!!

    Yes, of course we can, if you think uniqueness is the be-all and end-all of marketing.

    Which, clearly, it is not.

    Discuss.
