1. How can social entrepreneurs such as the founders of Panda Sunglasses use their companies’ social missions to attract customers and promote their businesses? (Chapter 1, LO 5; Chapter 8, LO 4) (AACSB: Application of knowledge) Companies that are most successful in meeting their social responsibility select causes that are consistent with their core values and their employees’ interests and skill sets. Whether a company supports a social or an environmental cause has a significant effect on shoppers’ behavior. Other studies show a connection between social responsibility and profitability. One study concluded that a positive correlation existed between a company’s profitability and its reputation for ethical, socially responsible behavior. Refer to Table 2.6, Simple Ways for a Small Business to Be Socially Responsible on page 61. Bootstrap marketing strategies are unconventional, low-cost, creative techniques – small companies can wring as much or more “bang” from their marketing bucks. This allows the required marketing investment to fit the often limited marketing resources of the organization. It demands creativity, ingenuity, and an understanding of customers’ buying habits. 2. How should the founders of Panda Sunglasses define a unique selling proposition for their company that resonates with customers? (Chapter 8, LO 4) (AACSB: Application of knowledge) Creating a unique selling proposition (USP), a key customer benefit of a product or service that sets it apart from the competition, answers the critical question every customer asks, “What’s in it for me?” Students’ submissions should meet these criteria: •

Ideally, the USP will be 10 words or less.

•

To be effective a USP must actually be unique – something the competition does not (or cannot) provide – as well as compelling enough to encourage customers to buy.
