  4. An advantage of a business re-locating abroard is that in areas like china and india labour is cheeper so you can pay less for production, also raw materials might be cheeper so you can make more product for the same anount of cost.
    A disadvantage is that when you move abroad people will loose jobs which can be bad for the area which you are leaving.

  19. The advantages of locating aboard are that labour is cheaper, the works take less money to make the goods, there is access to all the resoures in a country with cheaper labour. The financial incentives are less so that means the business won't go out of business paying for the rent and can be spent on materialss. This will help avoild proctectionist measures (tafiffs etc) by locationg withing a country rather then exporting the goods to anothers, and this will improve a growing market.
    However the disadvantages therefore are that there is different cultures/ beliefs in other countries so you need to respect that. Another disadvantage is there are different rules and regulations outside of the Eu so make sure you do your reach and learn some of the language of where you going as there will be language barriers.

  32. The Four Ps of the Marketing Mix:
    Product - The product or service itself; what is being sold to the customers.
    Price - The pricing of the company's products. If it is too high, consumers may be unwilling to buy it. If it is too low, consumers might be suspicious of the product's quality and not buy it.
    Place - Where the product is sold, or its company's headquaters or outlet. It should be close to and accessible for the target market otherwise they won't discover the business or visit it again.
    Promotion - How the company promotes themselves and their products. Advertisements on radio, in newspapers, on billboards and via social media are all forms of promotion.

  36. The four P's of the marketing mix are price product, place and promotion and they are all as important as each other, it is impossible to have an extremely successful business if you have ignored one of the four p's for example if you had an amazing product but did not promote it then you would not sell as many, on the otehr hand if you had a good business location but were selling your product for far to much you would again not sell many.

  40. Product - whether its a good or a service, it's what your selling, it has to be of decent quality so that a bad reputation is not aheived.

    Price - how much the product costs, people won't pay too much for a product, but if its costs too little people will think the quality is bad.

    Promotion - If noone knows about your product, how can you expect people to purchase it?

    Place - if the location is in the wrong place, too far away from nessecary resources, but people will not go out of their way to buy something they don't really need.

  41. Price - This is what the business will sell it to the customer, if the price is too expensive no one will buy it, but if its too cheap people will think its bad quality.
    Place - You must set your business up in a area near customer, if you put it too far away people might not want to travel there or shop there.
    Promotion - You must promote your product otherwise the customers will not no it is out there.
    Product - You must sell a product that the people actually want, otherwise no one will purchase it, and you will make a loss.

  45. the four p's of the marketing mix are product, price, promotion and place ,

    product is all about what products you make and the quality of that product the better the product and what it is will affect the amount of sales.

    price is how much you charge your customer for your product/service and how that influences sales and profit greatly.

    the place is all about where your business is located and how that effects the success of the business and the production costs and the demand may be better in a certain area.

    promotion is how you show off your product if you have a eye catching promotion yyou will make more sales once again improving salesc
