2910 Words12 Pages

Proposal
Focus Question:
• “Does the youth of St. Mary’s DSG Pretoria know about competitive advertising and do they believe that it should be allowed in South Africa?”
Market:
• I would focus my research on competitive advertising in general.
• Competitive advertising was an interest to me because I believe advertising in South Africa is not regarded by the majority of our citizens as having any real value to society. Therefore through primary and secondary research, I would like to confront the need for competitive advertising in South Africa and the benefits it would bring to the South African economy and consumer. What I find interesting in competitive advertising, is the type of techniques used to promote the product/service and appeal to the possible consumer. It is more interesting and has many benefits for the consumer.
Through mixed research, the following aims will be achieved:
• What is competitive marketing?
• The advantages of competitive marketing.
• The disadvantages of competitive marketing.
• Why does the Competition Commission of South Africa restrict competitive marketing?
• How competitive marketing should be implemented into the South African market.
