9. The Authentic Problem: “The Marketing Classes at King George High School have just received an interesting challenge! The Fredericksburg Expo and Convention Center has been chosen as a possible host for the 2015 International Franchise Trade Show. This Trade Show is expected to generate up to 5,000 room-night bookings in area hotels and bring Franchise Opportunities to many perspective entrepreneurs in the Fredericksburg Region. The Center hopes this show would promote business in the Region, bringing more retail and service businesses to our growing area. This trade show of franchise opportunities would provide for regional business people and entrepreneurs to investigate and open new businesses. Because of the growth in the region, new business ventures in a variety of areas are in great demand by the growing population. By bringing all of these opportunities to one location, it would provide a “smorgasbord of possibilities” for the entrepreneurs. The Marketing students have been asked by the Center to design the advertising campaign that will be used to promote the trade show. The Marketing students have also been asked to develop the advertising campaigns for the other shows on the Center’s calendar. What an exciting opportunity! Let’s get started!” Resources: http://www.ifeinfo.com http://www.fredericksburgexpocenter.com/ http://www.entrepreneur.com/franchise500/index.html http://www.fredericksburg.com/http://www.ifeinfo.comhttp://www.fredericksburgexpocenter.com/ http://www.entrepreneur.com/franchise500/index.html http://www.fredericksburg.com/
