Executive Summary Cape Breton Boat Rentals is a boat rental company owned by Bruce MacLean and operated by his brother Malcolm Maclean. Although their reception was welcoming in the year 1988, their selling price could be said is at below the actually operating cost. To avoid the same situation in 1989, the MacLean bothers had to improvise and make aggressive decisions like for example tripling their advertisements. We will show possible ways and methods on how they would have improved in marketing concepts. We will go through the marketing characteristics, marketing mix and marketing concepts that were and should be applied. We feel Malcolm MacLean is stealing money from the business.

3.1 Intangibility
Intangibility means the incapacity to assess the value gained from using an intangible service where it can’t be seen, touched, tasted, smelled or stored (Palmer, 2000). In intangibility there are two different aspects that could be looked into which is the search quality and experience. The search quality is when they observe the product without experiencing it at first hand. In reality they would know what they would want to rent like for example kayaks, canoes or a motorboat by only looking at it but have not experienced it yet. The experience is when the customer has rented the tangible product and has had an experience using it while being able to assess whether it is satisfactory or not. Once the service rented is satisfactory, the customers would tend to return to the same place as they would have confidence on the service obtained. Services are harder to market to potential customers compared to goods as there is no physical evidence to showcase. This is where the advertisements, brochures and customers word of mouth play a big role. The advertisements and brochures has to be crystal clear and direct to capture the attention of potential customers, giving them an idea of the services that might be purchased, which in this case is rental of various boats.

My first memories of life began in Scugog, Ontario, just on the outskirts of Durham Region. As I grew up, I noticed there were some different people that lived around me, but since my innocence was still apart of me then, I disregarded it and thought everyone was as fortunate as I was. One day I became curious enough to ask my mother why there were people who lived differently from us and who they were. My mother did not know much of them, and because of this all I knew was that they were natives of Scugog Island and they assisted in running the Great Blue Heron Casino. I did not learn their history or their culture in any way, and because of this, became ignorant to part of our history as a nation. The history of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island began around 1700 when

Only three wolves now remain on Michigan’s Isle Royale, down from nine wolves last year, Michigan Technological University reported. This means that one of the most studied wolf packs in the world are in serious danger of extinction. Wolves on Isle Royale in Michigan have fluctuated over the past 50 years going from 11 wolves all the way to 50 in 1980. But now the wolves are at an all time low at only 3 wolves. Isle Royale is a natural habitat that should not be managed by man. Nature should be allowed to take its course, even if it means the loss of the population of wolves of Isle Royale in Michigan.
Quebec has made mistakes like building the Hydro-Quebec without the permission of natives on traditional land and by doing so, Quebec started to believe that if they left Canada in the first place, they could make their own laws without having to forcefully agree to the Constitutional Act. Even though Quebec is in Canada, they are not recognized as well as the English-Canadians because they are the ones who lead/control everything going on in the country no matter how many prominent people come from Quebec or how many Quebecois soldiers risk their lives at war for Canada. Canada has brought more harm to Aboriginals because they have purposely tried to discriminate other groups that are not English or British to get rid of them.(Research Publications, N/A, 54).

Value is also perceived differently between customers, and is relative to the value customers perceive is available from market alternatives (Smith & Colgate, 1988). Customers may choose to shop at Smiggle over alternatives such as Kiki K because they may perceive Smiggle to have similar quality products at a lower monetary cost. Conversely, other customers may not place a high importance on colour and aesthetical appearance when shopping for a pen, and consequently may take their money to somewhere with more standard office pens, such as a newsagent. When assessing value, customers only factor in features of a product which they deem are important (Kotler et., al). Compelling value propositions must be created in order to entice customers and meet their specific demands (Smith & Colgate, 1988). Smiggle offers products that are functional, affordable and are creatively and colourfully designed to inspire fun in school and work tasks. Customers match their expectations to Smiggle’s value proposition, and if a customer believes the product does not hold the benefits it is supposed hold, the customer will be dissatisfied (Kotler et., el). Therefore, Smiggle must either meet or exceed customers’ expectations in order to satisfy them. This process is integral to the ‘mutual exchange’ characteristic of marketing, because companies must gauge demand and then deliver value in
