Dear Mrs. Newport,
As per your request, Alex and I came up with a great idea to enhance the look of anyones personal IPhone Case. This case will not only offer ultimate protection of the IPHONE itself, but it also allows for the owner to personalize their case anyway that they like and as often as they choose to. We believe that after careful review and consideration of the attached documents you will be just as excited as we are to get this product on the market! Enclosed you will find the following documents: 1. Team Task Analysis 2. Manufacturing Specifications 3. Marketing Pitch 4. Marketing Campaign
Sincerely, Alex Lopez Kelly Charles MARKETING 2 THE PITCH
PROBLEM Having the same phone case all the time can be annoying or just simply not fun. The case gets dirty and corroded and can be tedious to remove and reinstall with some cases. If you have a pink case, some days you just dont feel so pink, or if you have a Chicago Bears case but they just lost the Super Bowl, you may not want to have that case showing at that particular moment. SOLUTION The solution to whatever the problem is that you are having with the design of you current on possibly only case is that you can now change the look and design on your case as often as you want and exactly how YOU like it! With iPhone-ize the possibilities are endless! TO OUR INVESTORS 3 IPHONE-IZE is a protective case for all model iPhones. The case consists of fiberboard backing with an Idea Board front plate that allows for the user to change the design of their personal cellular device whenever and however they choose.

ADVERTISING Advertising will rely solely on the products location with the help of our partners BestBuy and Walmart. iPHONE-IZE will be strategically placed anywhere iPhones are sold. Placement of these cases will be directly next to the actual device as well in all other areas where cell phone accessories are sold. Alex and I do not believe that there is no room for failure of this product due to the fact that iPHONE-IZE is usable by anyone and everyone that owns an iPhone. There are absolutely no limitations to our consumer market. Any age group and any gender is 100% capable of using product. Who wouldnt want the ability to change the look of the one device they would never be caught without as they see fit?!
THE CAMPAIGN 5 A DEMENSIONAL OTTERBOX STYLE BOX.The print on the outside of the package should show three to four different designs examples. Such as a favorite team logo, a Happy Birthday design, a favorite season design, etc. The packaging should also note that the product inside of the box includes the transparent rubber protective cover for easy assembly and disassembly daily to allow for cleaning and design and color change, drawing utensils with a carrying case, a microfiber cloth, and an 8oz. Easy Erase spray bottle. The mood or tone to be displayed on the packaging is to be very lively and colorful. The packaging should create excitability and induce want as well as need for this product. In addition to the packaging we have received the green light from our partners BestBuy and Walmart to have product testing stations next to the product racks and iPhone devices. These testing stations along with our one year 100% satisfaction Guarantee will be all the proof needed for the consumer to become completely informed as to the endless options that this product allows making iPhone-Ize the only option above all others! 6
