¶ … Marketing Strategy Hello Michelle,

This email is to flesh out some of the ideas we spoke about briefly regarding the marketing strategy for Mobile Manufacturing, Inc. As we previously discussed, there are two types of tools that are dominant throughout the marketing industry at this point in time.
