Scenario
Product Summary
A list of customers will be collated. This will use existing information from the Accounts department about
current customers, and existing information from the Marketing department about prospective customers.
Using the tariff of mailing costs available from the Post Office, a production cost forecast will be produced to
allow the CEO and the Marketing Director to decide whether to continue with the project. If they decide to
continue, they will give the approval to launch the internal label design competition. Competition rules will be
required to communicate details of the competition to the staff. The chosen label design will then be selected
from the competition entries.
The photos for the calendar must be based on existing photo design ideas available from the Marketing
department. The selected photos will be chosen from these. Monthly calendar displays will be created to show
the required layout of each page.
