问答题{{B}}Making a formal presentation 正式演讲{{/B}}
问答题The following answer to an exam question is well-organised, has
few mistakes and addresses each point in the question. However, it was
considered unsatisfactory as a piece of business communication
because: ·it was too vague (no specific details or
examples); ·it didn't make concrete recommendations.
Question 1 ·You feel your company's
main product or service would benefit from better publicity. The directors have
asked you to write a proposal putting forward our ideas. ·Write
your proposal for the directors: ·mentioning the product or
service concerned ·stating the shortcomings of the current
advertising ·outlining how your competitors promote their
products or services ·suggesting a different approach to
advertising. To: The directors I would like to
draw your attention to the performance of one of our main products, the energy
drink, Zap. Unfortunately, it has experienced some problems in
the market, while our competitors' products have improved their sales by an
average of 8%. We need to take steps urgently to deal with this
situation. The main problem is our advertising campaign, not
the product. We need to find a different way to advertise the product or out
product will continue to lose market share to its competitors.
By contrast, they have used innovative styles of marketing and advertising, both
on TV and radio and in magazines. In this way, they have attracted a lot of
attention and gained new customers. We must do the same, because customers are
bored of our advertising. My recommendations are as
follows: —we should employ the services of specialists in the
field of advertising to help us define a new campaign. —we
should design some advertisements which feel fresh and attractive and run these
on different types of advertising media: TV, radio, magazines, billboards
etc. —we should use some famous people in the advertisements,
because this will help to persuade consumers that it is a good
product. Please consider these proposals carefully and do not
hesitate to contact me for further details.
