You have been employed by ESPN to sell space on its Web site to advertisers. Create a memo of approximately 200 words in which you describe the advantages of advertising on ESPN in a form that the ESPN sales team can use as a resource when they are making presentations to potential advertisers for space on the main page. ESPN has a permission based e-mail marketing system that you can include as part of an advertising package you sell to advertisers. Be sure to include the benefits to advertisers provided by this e-mail marketing system in your memo.

Question 2

Assume you are a consultant to TopSpin, a tennis equipment manufacturer that sells its products directly to customers on the Web. TopSpin is considering the use of YouTube videos to promote its products. Some of the salespeople have suggested that the videos include detailed reviews of the companys products and endorsements by top tennis players. Other marketing staff have suggested including instructional tips and videos of the equipment being used at famous resorts. Write a 100-word report that outlines the kind of content that you believe TopSpin should include in the videos.
