Marketing (Promotion Analysis)
Promotion and Price Analysis Paper on Canon USA, Inc.
Analyzing the promotional aspect of a product or service within a business organization involves identifying and studying the dynamics of various promotional strategies, such as print, television, radio, Internet, telemarketing, direct mail, and publicity media. This paper conducts a promotional analysis of the company Canon USA Inc., a professional business and consumer imaging equipment and information systems provider. The analysis includes promotional strategies of Canon USA through three media: publicity, print, and Internet (or online). The rationale behind the use of these three promotional strategies is that the company has more exposure and promotional programs among these three media.

Through publicity, Canon is able to extend to the public and its customers (existing, loyal, and potential customers) CSR (corporate social responsibility) programs that the company centers on to share their vision and mission not only as a business organization, but a social institution as well.
