Antarctica Vodka - Marketing Plan
Antarctica brand vodka is the only vodka that takes the water directly from the glaciers of Antarctica and combines the most advanced technology produce the highest quality vodka on the planet. Antarctica Vodka is distilled and bottled in Antarctica and shipped directly to your local store.
The consumer can taste the crisp and clean flavors that only Antarctic glaciers can produce. For your only opportunity to taste water from Antarctica besides traveling there you must try Antarctic Vodka
Biggest challenge to develop marketing plan
So many different types of vodka makes the marketplace saturated so why will my new vodka stand out from others. The quality has to be superior and somehow the consumer has to get a feeling of being in Antarctica or at least that cold, crisp, clean feeling that is associated with the brand.

Week 5 EOC: Agreements and Disagreements of Marketing vs. Advertising
Round 1
“Advertising is more of a public service by advertisement. Marketing concentrates more on the customer values and can sometimes focus all their energy on a certain demographic or age group.”
http://warrenthegenius29.blogspot.com/
I agree with this statement because advertising does provide a public service. It allows the public to know what’s out there and what product may be beneficial to them. If we as consumers don’t know something exists how can we ever seek it out, and purchase it to help us?
Round 2
“Marketing is the process of the product being introduced to the market place. When marketing you have to do tons of research to decide who you are going to target your product or services to. Marketing is just about making a product and finding a way to make people buy it. It’s about finding out what people need and then fulfilling that need.”

Again in absolute agreement with this statement, marketing is doing all the behind the scenes research to figure out the who, what, where, and why so the company can direct their advertising to the correct places.
Round 3
“Advertisers and marketers think very much differently.”
http://ccmarieproductions.blogspot.com/
Well I had to find something that I disagree with and I believe that a marketer has to think like an advertiser because at the end of the line a company is going to spend a lot of money to try and place the advertising in the correct outlet. When designing a marketing plan one should think how are we going to advertise this product and is it feasible? What are the means that the company has to advertise?

Differences between marketing and advertising
Let’s take a pizza for example, marketing is the whole pizza and advertising is just a slice.
Advertising is useful when you already know who to market to. A company like Axe is focused on one type of person, the horney teenage boy that believes that if he sprays some cheap fragrances all over he will get lucky with all the girls. They use sex and humor to sell their product and have been successful selling this notion to their target market. The marketing division in Axe had to do the research and look at the big picture to figure out what angle they wanted their product to be known as to the general public.
Advertising only equals one piece of the pizza in the strategy of marketing. All of these elements must not only work independently but they also must work together towards the bigger goal. Marketing is a process that takes time and can involve hours of research for a marketing plan to be effective. Think of marketing as everything that an organization does to facilitate an exchange between company and consumer.
