Company Survey for Student Marketing Projects at Gustavus
Thank you for your interest in having a student group complete a project for your company.  I am asking every potential client to complete this survey.  These projects are done both in the fall and spring semesters.  

If you are interested in a fall project, please complete the survey by August 24th.  For spring projects, please complete by Jan 10th.  

After I have received your survey response, I will email you and schedule a time to talk on the phone with you about the proposed project.  These calls typically take place in August and January.   The timing for your project depends on the number of students enrolled in my classes each semester and the mix of businesses that submit proposals.

Overview of the project:  A team of 3 - 5 students are assigned for your project.  Beginning in the second month of the semester they are required to have at least 2 calls or meetings per month with their client.  In addition, they will be providing you with a project plan at least 2 times a month.  There are typically about 9 weeks of work on the project.  Companies or organizations can be based anywhere.  We have helped companies in Ireland, Poland, CA, SD and many other locations.  We love having local companies so that the students can meet in person at least for the presentation.    

The fall presentations typically take place the first two weeks in December.  The spring presentations take place the first 2 weeks in May.

The best projects are clearly defined and able to be accomplished in 9 weeks.  Some examples include: competitive analysis, new market analysis, market research, customer surveys, social media audits, new product analysis, customer acquisition and volunteer acquisition.  During the fall semester I teach Digital Marketing.  The companies chosen for this are ones that have had the initial marketing strategies project completed first.  In the spring I teach Marketing Research which is ideal for projects that require surveys and data.  

Even if you are not sure - please complete this survey and then we can discuss on the phone.  I am great at helping clients define projects!!!  I contact companies to discuss projects in January and in August.
