Internship program objective:

Ridgeview Construction is in the process of developing a solid marketing strategy. Part of this strategy is the identification of new client demographics using past client lead sources, sales information, and other outside sources. When the demographics for our future clients are identified, key messages for each of the targeted groups need to be developed.

Currently there is not a lot of information in house to research our demographic. Information may need to be obtained from outside sources in order to get full profile of the intended buying group.

During the final phase of the research communication tools (home shows, online presence, social media and print media) needs to be identified to reach the targeted audience. This might be done after successful completion of first phase.

Tasks:

• Identification of new client demographics for our New Construction, Remodeling/Renovation and Development product lines.
• Research outside and inside the organization to determine client demographics
• Develop key messages that are aligned with the product lines and will speak to the defined client demographics
• Make the organization think outside the box and bring in new perspective

Skills:

• Ability to analyze data
• Coursework to support the understanding of consumer marketing
• Strong organizational skills to meet deadlines
• Ability to think outside the box and present new ideas.
• Understanding the opportunities and challenges that small businesses face in their day to day operations.
