As this is the Benchmark Week, I wanted to provide some additional guidance that will help you with this assignment: 1.) Read the directions and address each prompt. 2.) Provide details describing the facility, including location, possible surrounding businesses and services provided. 3.) Discuss the cultural and demographic aspects of the facility; who are their customers, who lives in the neighborhood? 4.) What marketing is used? Is this an established facility that may rely on word of mouth and print, or is this a new facility that employs social media? Would these techniques work for all demographics? 5.) Please remain within the specified word count, and ensure that proper grammar, spelling and APA formatted citation are all provided. Inevitably, in each class someone will copy and paste the information found on a website directly onto their paper. This behavior goes against school policy and is easily detected.
