【正确答案】To: Roger Brown From: Will Smith Date: Oct. 23, 2009 Subject: Advertising Campaign Introduction This report aims to probe how an advertising campaign can help promote the sales of a product. Findings Compared with the same time period in last year, our sales volume remains stable in the last 3 months. This is not at all satisfactory as we target to achieve 5% increment in the yearly sales volume. Such stability will stop us from doing so. Therefore, I propose that an advertising campaign can be taken to change this. Recommendations Two ways of advertising are recommended based on the current situation. First, we can organize promotion activities, i.e., add 100 you get the second piece free on our counters in the big Dept. stores. This is attractive to the regular customers, and they will be happy to bring their relatives and friends to us. The second approach is targeted at the corporate purchase for the coming Chinese traditional Spring Festival. We will design a special package for the whole-sale to those companies who purchase annual gifts to the employees, and customers. Conclusion The two approaches are targeted either at the individual or the corporate purchase, and this will help increase the sales volume, and also reduce our storage, improve the cash flow of the company. This will in the end get us to achieve the 5 % increment in the sales volume over last year.

【正确答案】Introduction This proposal is concerned with the appointment of a manager for the Accounting Department. I consider that our company should recruit from outside rather than promote internally. Findings Research shows that we had better hunt for a manager from outside. First of all, our company has always advocated passion and energy. As long as we could pour into fresh elements by recruiting some new employees, our company may possess the power to make further development. Therefore, recruiting from outside is more in line with the corporate culture. It has a profound meaning for our company's improvement. Recommendations As a matter of fact, we couth advertise in the local and national newspapers for an accounting manager, and then arrange interviews. There will be many benefits in employing a proficient manager from outside.

Conclusions However, there is no denying that some possible risks are involved. Anyone who has not worked in our company can not understand our company's culture from the start. He or she may need some time to adapt to the circumstances.
