Marketing Day
Grade 5, Interdisciplinary
Description of Unit
In this task, fifth-grade students experience the processes of patent development; invention-, product-, and service-creation; and marketing and selling. Through this process, students will distinguish between wants and needs as well as the public's understandings and desires to fill those wants and needs. Students will develop commercials and advertising ideas, and they will study a past invention or service and the reasons for its failure or success. Students will become both the seller of their product and a consumer who learns to manage a budget.
This guide links the Marketing Day unit to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for fifth graders. Students will learn the importance of advertising and how it helps consumers compare products and services, allows businesses to retain existing customers and win new ones, and educates society about important issues. In today's society, understanding the desires of the public and how to create that desire is tantamount to the success of advertising and the sales of a product. Whether the goods and services a company provides are necessities, luxuries, or just bits of whimsy, companies cannot rely on a one-time announcement or word-of-mouth chatter to keep a steady stream of customers. As far back as ancient Egypt, advertising has served a critical purpose in the business world by enabling sellers to effectively compete with one another for the attention of buyers. In the Marketing Day unit, students will develop a sales approach to encourage the public to purchase their product. Students will also decide which product they would acquire with the use of their money. The TEKS from multiple content areas are covered. For instance, students will use writing as a tool for learning in research, as described in the English Language Arts and Reading TEKS. The following document includes the applicable TEKS and the details of the Marketing Day unit. The final section of this document presents the applicable Texas College and Career Readiness Standards adopted by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) on January 24, 2008.
Descripción de la unidad
En esta tarea, los estudiantes de quinto grado experimentan los proceso del desarrollo de un patente; invención, producto y servicio-creación y mercadeo y venta Mediante este proceso, los estudiantes distinguirán entre deseos y necesidades así como el entendimiento y el deseo del público de llenar esos deseos y necesidades. Los estudiantes desarrollarán comerciales e ideas de publicidad, y estudiarán un invento o servicio del pasado y las razones de su fracaso o éxito. Los estudiantes se convertirán tanto en el vendedor de su producto como en un consumidor que aprende a manejar un presupuesto.
Esta guía conecta la unidad Día de la mercadotecnia con los Conocimientos y destrezas esenciales de Texas (TEKS) para los estudiantes de quinto grado. Los estudiantes aprenderán la importancia de la publicidad y cómo ayuda a los consumidores a comparar productos y servicios, permite que los negocios mantengan sus los clientes actuales y ganen nuevos clientes, y educa a la sociedad sobre asuntos importantes. En la sociedad de hoy, entender los deseos del público y cómo crear ese deseo es equivalente al éxito de la publicidad y las ventas de un producto. Ya sea que los bienes y servicios que un compañía ofrece sean necesidades, lujos o extravagancias, las compañías no pueden depender de un anuncio de una sola vez o de referencias para mantener un movimiento estable de clientes. Tan antiguo como Egipto, la publicidad ha servido un propósito crítico en el mundo de los negocios permitiéndoles a los vendedores competir efectivamente entre sí por la atención de los compradores. En la unidad Día de la mercadotecnia, los estudiantes desarrollarán una estrategia de ventas para animar al público a comprar su producto. Los estudiantes también decidirán qué producto adquirirán con el uso de su dinero. Se abarcan TEKS de múltiples áreas de contenido. Por ejemplo, los estudiantes usarán la escritura como una herramienta de aprendizaje en la investigación, como lo describen los TEKS de Artes del Lenguaje y Lectura en inglés. El siguiente documento incluye los TEKS correspondientes y los detalles de la unidad Día de la mercadotecnia. La última sección de este documento presenta los Estándares de Preparación para la Universidad, Carreras Técnicas y el Mundo Laboral de Texas (Texas College and Career Readiness Standards) adoptados por la Mesa Directiva Coordinadora de la Educación Superior en Texas (Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board -THECB) el 24 de enero de 2008.
Phase I. Learning Experiences
- Wants and Needs: Students are sometimes unaware of the difference between wants and needs, and they place priority on areas that are really not necessary. Using chart paper, have the students form small groups and list items that would fall under either the Want or Need categories. Once each small group has completed its list, aggregate the responses of each small group to create one large list. Have students discuss what characteristics were important in the decisions to place the items in each particular category. Students will read about the basic economics behind want versus need (http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/articles/economics/wantsandneeds1.htm) and quiz themselves at the end.
- Goods and Services: Students will work with a partner and develop a short PowerPoint or document that discusses the difference between a good and a service. The pairs will give several examples with images and explanations as to why the examples fit in either category or fit into both. Students may want to research trending products that are currently popular to use as examples.
- Branding and Marketing: Reach out to a local provider of goods or services and ask them to
address the class on how they brand and market their business. Allow students to have a
question and answer session with the professional. Encourage branding questions, such as the
following:
- Why did your company choose the name it did?
- Why did you choose the color of your brand?
- Audience Research: Give the students a random product (e.g., an insulated tumbler; a wireless mouse; a special ballpoint pen; a cute, but not really functional, cell phone case). Have students read the article, “How to Identify Your Target Audience” (Attachment 1). Have them choose a particular demographic that they believe the creators of their product were targeting based on the way they advertise it. Students will need access to the Internet to research the commercials and ads for their product. They should be required to write a short essay about what particular group the product is targeting and how they plan to prove that by research.
- Buyers: Students are often unaware of how responsible adults budget their money and decide whether or not to make purchases. In this activity, each student will collaborate with his or her parent or guardian in discovering budgeting issues at home. During this parent collaboration, the student will list all items (with their estimated monthly costs) that need to be budgeted for in a typical household. (Note: This is personal information and some parents may not feel comfortable discussing with actual dollar amounts.) Assign each student an income once they have done their research. Students will break down the percentage of their income that each item takes up per month.
Phase II. Independent Research
A. Research process
- Selecting a topic. Students will form small groups and choose a product or service in order to develop a plan to market and sell that item or service to the public. Student groups will brainstorm marketing ideas, or the teacher can provide a list of marketing examples to choose from. Students will need to identify the item as a want or a need and decide how the public will respond to the marketing strategy.
- Asking guiding questions. Once the student groups have selected a product or service, they
should think of three to five guiding questions to explore. Examples include the following:
- Is ____ a want or a need?
- Who will be most affected?
- What is more important, speed or quality? Can there be a balance?
- What audience should we target?
- How will current trends impact the marketing of this ____?
- Designing a research proposal. Student groups will work to brainstorm product information and marketing strategies as they relate to their personal interests and shared likes. Using multiple media sources, students will view commercials and sales pitches from previous creators of their chosen product or service. Students will continue to identify errors or possible improvements on these strategies.
- Conducting the research. Groups will review multiple methods of advertisement for their chosen product or service and research similar products, comparing their chosen marketing strategies (e.g., Crayon vs. Rose Art craft materials). Students will list the various methods used to advertise these products and the pros and cons of each strategy.
- Sharing findings. Each group of students will present their analysis of marketing strategies to the teacher for approval. Presenting them to the class will have an effect on the way they are received in the final presentation and may change the desired effect. Once their ideas and models for marketing have been approved, they will receive permission to proceed with designing their advertising scheme.
B. The product
Student groups will share their learning by creating a marketing strategy for their idea, product, good, or service. They can use a storyboard format, PowerPoint presentation, or infomercial to illustrate their marketing strategy during a special event—Marketing Day. Groups should have relevant data on their particular demographics and a persuasive sales pitch in order to reach their clientele. On Marketing Day, student groups will be judged based on their ability to convince their teachers and classmates to purchase their product, good, or service. On the final day of the project, all student groups are to arrange and present their marketing strategies in an attempt to convince all present to purchase their item.
The groups will also be given money to spend on the products at the marketing event. Half of their funds will be designated for needs and the other half for wants.
C. Communication
Student groups will communicate their marketing sales pitch to an audience. The intent is to persuade the audience to purchase their idea, product, good, or service. Students will also write a persuasive essay on their marketing strategy for the idea, product, good, or service.
D. A completed project consists of:
- An idea, product, good, or service to market
- A well-developed marketing strategy communicated through a storyboard, PowerPoint presentation, or infomercial
- A persuasive essay describing their strategy and the intent developed in their marketing strategy
Fase I. Experiencias de aprendizaje
- Deseos y necesidades: Los estudiantes algunas veces no están conscientes de la diferencia entre deseos y necesidades, y dan prioridad a áreas que realmente no son necesarias. Usando papel cuadriculado, pida a los estudiantes que formen grupos pequeños y que hagan una lista de artículos que caerían bajo una de las categorías de Deseos o Necesidades. Una vez que cada grupo pequeño haya terminado su lista, agregue las respuestas de cada grupo pequeño para crear una lista grande. Pida a los estudiantes que hablen sobre características son importantes en las decisiones de colocar los artículos en cada categoría en particular. Los estudiantes leerán sobre la economía básica detrás de deseos vs. necesidades (http://www.socialstudiesforkids.com/articles/economics/wantsandneeds1.htm) y tomarán una prueba al final.
- Bienes y servicios: Los estudiantes trabajarán con un compañero y desarrollarán una breve presentación PowerPoint o documento que discuta la diferencia entre un bien y un servicio. Las parejas de estudiantes darán varios ejemplos con imágenes y explicaciones de por qué los ejemplos pertenecen a una de las dos categorías o a ambas. Los estudiantes pueden investigar productos de tendencia actual que sean populares hoy en día para usar como ejemplos.
- Creando una marca y mercadeando: Pida a un proveedor local de bienes o servicios que hable ante la clase sobre cómo crean marcas y mercadean su negocio. Permita que los estudiantes tengan una sesión de preguntas y respuestas con el profesional. Anímelos a hacer preguntas de cómo hacer una marca, como las siguientes:
- ¿Por qué su compañía escogió el nombre que escogió?
- ¿Por qué escogió el color de su marca?
- Investigación de la audiencia: De a los estudiantes una producto al azar (por ej., un vaso térmico, una ratón inalámbrico, un bolígrafo especial, una estuche para celular que sea bonito, pero no muy funcional). Pida a los estudiantes que lean el artículo “Cómo identificar a tu audiencia” (anexo 1). Pídales que escojan un sector demográfico en particular que creen que sea el objetivo de los creadores de su producto según la manera en que lo anuncian. Los estudiantes necesitarán acceso a Internet para investigar los comerciales y anuncios de su producto. Se les pedirá que escriban un ensayo corto acerca del grupo en particular para el que se está dirigido el producto y cómo piensan comprobarlo mediante la investigación.
- Compradores: Los estudiantes con frecuencia desconocen que los adultos responsables presupuestan su dinero y deciden comprar o no comprar. En esta actividad, cada estudiante colaborará con sus padres o tutores descubriendo asuntos de presupuesto en casa. Durante la colaboración de los padres, el estudiante hará una lista de todos los artículos (con su costo mensual estimado) que se necesitan presupuestar en una casa común. (Nota: Esto es información personal y algunos padres tal vez no se sientan cómodos hablando sobre cantidades reales de dólares). Asigne un ingreso a cada estudiante una vez hayan hecho su investigación. Los estudiantes desglosarán el porciento de su ingreso que se ocupa para cada artículo por mes.
Fase II. Investigación independiente
A. Proceso de investigación
- Seleccionando un tema. Los estudiantes formarán grupos pequeños y escogerán un producto o servicio para desarrollar un plan de mercadeo y ventas para ese artículo o servicio para el público. Los grupos de estudiantes pensarán en ideas de mercadeo o el maestro puede proveer una lista de ejemplos de mercadeo para que escojan. Los estudiantes necesitarán identificar el artículo como deseo o necesidad y decidir cómo responderá el público a la estrategia de mercadeo.
- Haciendo preguntas guía. Una vez que los grupos de estudiantes hayan seleccionado un producto o servicio, deben elaborar de tres a cinco preguntas guía para estudiar. Ejemplos incluyen las siguientes:
- ¿Es ______ un deseo o una necesidad?
- ¿Quién será más afectado?
- ¿Qué es más importante, velocidad o calidad? ¿Puede haber un balance?
- ¿A qué audiencia nos debemos dirigir?
- ¿Cómo las tendencias actuales impactarán el mercadeo de este _____?
- Diseñando una propuesta de investigación. Los grupos de estudiantes compartirán ideas sobre la información del producto y las estrategias de mercadeo según se relacionen con sus intereses personales y gustos compartidos. Usando recursos multimedia, los estudiantes verán comerciales y argumentos de ventas de anteriores creadores del producto o servicio que escogieron. Los estudiantes continuarán identificando errores o posibles mejoras para estas estrategias.
- Realizando la investigación. Los grupos revisarán varios métodos de publicidad para el producto o servicio que escogieron, e investigarán productos similares, comparando sus estrategias de mercadeo (por ej., materiales para manualidades Crayola vs. Rose Art). Los estudiantes harán una lista de los varios métodos usados para anunciar estos productos y los pros y contras de cada estrategia.
- Compartiendo hallazgos. Cada grupo de estudiantes presentará su análisis y estrategias de mercadeo al maestro para su aprobación. Presentando esto a la clase tendrá un efecto en la manera en que se reciben en la presentación final y pueden cambiar el efecto deseado. Una vez que sus ideas y modelos de mercadeo han sido aprobados, recibirán permiso para proseguir con el diseño de su plan de publicidad.
B. El producto
Los grupos de estudiantes compartirán su aprendizaje creando una estrategia de mercadeo para su idea, producto, bien o servicio. Pueden usar un formato de guion gráfico, presentación PowerPoint o comercial informativo para ilustrar su estrategia de mercadeo durante un evento especial: Día de la mercadotecnia. Los grupos deben tener información relevante sobre sus segmentos demográficos en particular y un argumento de ventas persuasivo para alcanzar a su clientela. El Día de la mercadotecnia, los grupos de estudiantes serán juzgados con base en su habilidad para convencer a sus maestros y compañeros para que compren su producto, bien o servicio. El último día del proyecto, todos los grupos de estudiantes arreglarán y presentarán sus estrategias de mercadeo e intentarán convencer a los presentes de que compren su artículo.
A los grupos también se les dará dinero para gastar en los productos en el evento de mercadotecnia. La mitad de sus fondos serán designados para necesidades y la otra mitad para deseos.
C. Comunicación
Los grupos de estudiantes comunicarán sus argumentos de ventas a la audiencia. Intentarán persuadir a la audiencia para que compren su idea, producto, bien o servicio. Los estudiantes también escribirán un ensayo persuasivo sobre su estrategia de mercadeo para la idea, el producto, el bien o el servicio.
D. Un proyecto completo consiste de:
- Una idea, producto, bien o servicio para mercadear
- Una estrategia de mercadeo bien desarrollada que se comunica mediante un guion gráfico, una presentación PowerPoint o un comercial informativo
- Un ensayo persuasivo que describe su estrategia y el propósito desarrollado en su estrategia de mercadeo
