Dear Dr. Ellis:
As you have requested in the class syllabus and during class meetings during the spring trimester of 2015, we have completed the questionnaire, sample plan, and analysis planning. The results are contained in the report entitled “Campus Class Offerings: A Market Research Study to Determine the Appropriate Marketing Mix for Traditional and Online Courses”.
The report hoped to present relevant information that would, not only show the measured desire of potential students, but also the reason why such courses would be desirable for specific market segments for the college or university. The report contains the intended methodology for fair representation, based on coastal population.
Should you need any further clarification, you may contact me at 228-596-2555. I have enjoyed working with you at William Carey University and I look forward to what the future holds.
Sincerely,
Larry E. Rexford
