You are required to complete an individual essay of 2,300 words (excluding tables, diagrammes, bibliography/list of references, and appendices) on the application of the concepts of Experiential Marketing by 2 retailers of your choice. You will review and analyse the material (literature) associated with this area collected through secondary research. You will also collect primary data through observations and perhaps interviews by conducting primary (field) research.
Notes for students
Carefully collect and review the literature associated with Experiential Marketing. From your reading, identify the criteria, which you will use to assess retailers’ application of the concepts associated with this theory. This is a very important part of the assignment, as insufficient effort here will render the rest of the task very difficult to complete.
You will also conduct field research and will collect information first hand through observations. Your practical observation should cover appropriate elements of the retail marketing mix.
In the lectures, the theory of Experiential Marketing will be explained and discussed. You are expected to research material on your own and include relevant information from your research into your essay (reference). However, as this is a fairly new area of research, you are unlikely to find much material in textbooks. Therefore, you will need to consult academic journals. When doing online searches for relevant articles, you may need to think of other alternative ‘search words’ other than ‘Experiential Marketing’ – e.g. ‘leisure shopping’ etc. Business press and quality newspapers are also good sources of information. (See the reading list in this module information pack for some suggestions.)
Make sure that your essay is evaluative and analytical and not descriptive. You are required to include references to the relevant literature sources throughout your assignment in order to demonstrate your extent of reading and research.
You would write a ‘Conclusion’ in the end of your essay – this is an important part and should outline your main findings related to the extent to which/how the retailers you observed apply the concepts of Experiential Marketing.
