Written Analysis of a case “Johnson & Associates” 1.) Define your suggested target market for Johnson & Associates. Explain your suggestion
- I’d suggest for them to expand in gamers and software developers.
- Buying, franchising, and selling CD’s and game consoles in their generation can be a great deal.

- Consider a 5 year expansion plan to further expand the market. 3.) Should the service contract be a part of the system? Why or why not?

4.) Under the promotions, devise an advertising for Johnson & Associates
- Since they specialized in software development, they should advertise the firms working software’s and further research and development of the program for better use.
5.) What medium/media do you think is most effective in promoting Johnson’s product (radio, television, print, and internet) and why? Consider the budget of the
