Marketing Intro

My favorite place would have to be Express.
I think their marketing target would be from older teens to adults. They have very nice clothes and it does last a long time, but yet it expensive. I think sometimes it's worth it especially when I'm upset, it makes me happy. Everything from there is nice and a lot of people do like the clothes. They also have nice jewerly for girls. So it's from clothing to accessories, you just build up one whole outfit. [:

•Also because it shows people what you plan to do and it’s always good to have a plan.
