WHEEL OF FUNCTIONS


Project Deadline: _________________________


Objective:
To learn the seven functions of marketing and to understand what each function entails.

Introduction:
There are seven functions of marketing that are essential to the success of any business. Throughout the course, each of these functions will be covered thoroughly.

Step-by-step instructions:
1. Either by hand or on the computer (use Excel), make a pie chart with seven equal parts. Each part will represent a different function.

2. Each part of the chart will need to have the function listed, a short explanation of the function, and three pictures from clip art or magazines that explain the function.

HINT: One part of the chart might represent distribution. “Distribution” will be listed on that part with a short definition of distribution. There might be a clip art picture of a ship, train, warehouse, airplane, and a truck. These pictures represent the different means of transportation of products as well as how and where you choose to store the products.

3. After you have completed the wheel, cut out the wheel and make a duplicate copy of the size circle of the wheel. You will have two circle cutouts – one with the pictures, etc. and one blank one.

4. On the blank circle, cut out a slice of the circle that corresponds with one of the functions on the wheel.

5. Punch a whole in the center of the wheels and attach with the brass fastener.
