Analytical Report Memo Assignment

You attend North Shore College, and you were asked by your boss, the college bookstore manager, Larry Krause, to conduct a survey. Concerned about the environment, Krause wants to learn students reactions to eliminating plastic bags, of which 45,000 are given away annually by the bookstore. Students answered questions in a survey about a number of proposals, resulting in the following raw data:

2. Using what you learned about writing an analytical report memo, prepare a report for Krause. Remember: this structure following the direct approach begins with a brief introductory paragraph stating the purpose/problem of the report along with any actions you took to collect information; this goes under a heading called Introduction. This section is followed by two more sections with the subheadings Recommendations and Findings and Analysis. 3. Include the chart or table in the report and put it in the Findings and Analysis section. 4. In the Recommendations section, prepare three to five recommendations for Mr. Krause. Make suggestions how they could be implemented. 5. In the Findings and Analysis sections, discuss at least three conclusions that could be drawn from the data and explain how and why you used these conclusions to make your recommendations. Here, youre telling him how and why the data influenced you in your decision making. 6. Create your report on the college letterhead, North Shore College. Use correct memo format. Compare your finished document with the sample document (even though it is a different subjects matter). If anything looks different with the format, correct your work.

In the end: you can see the example that I attach. The Writing should be like that format.

\begin{tabular}{|lccc|} \hline & Agree & Undecided & Disagree \\ 1. Continue to provide plastic bags & 132 & 17 & 411 \\ 2. Provide no bags; encourage students to bring their own bags & 414 & 25 & 121 \\ 3. Provide no bags; offer cloth bags at a reduced price (about $3 ) & 357 & 19 & 184 \\ 4. Give a cloth bag with & & & \\ each major purchase, \\ the cost to be included \\ in registration fees \end{tabular} Introduction We agreed that our sales volume could increase if we provide some kind of incentive to purchase greater quantities. I devised 4 possible options (shown in the table below), and then listed them in a survey. I made the survey forms available at the cashier, and customers filled them out as they were checked out. Each of the 4 questions could be answered with "agree," "undecided," or "disagree." A total of 560 customers responded. Recommendations After reviewing the results of the survey, I believe we should implement a "Buy 5, Get 1 Free" program. This will provide approximately a 17% discount for customers based on an average cost of $12 per CD. This will make for a great marketing campaign that would be easy to implement. Since "FREE" captures attention we need to make this the cornerstone of our ad and in store banners and posters. We could combine this with offering a 10% discount coupon on future purchases at the time of check-out. This would effectively increase sales now, as well as encourage repeat business and keep sales high. Findings and Analysis The breakdown of the survey and responses is detailed in the following chart: Based on the survey results, customers overwhelmingly chose the option of "Buy 5, Get 1 Free". It is interesting that although this was the favorite option of 74%, even more people (86%) said they did not want to lower the individual CD price if S or more were purchased. Since buying 5 and getting 1 free is essentially lowering the individual price, it is critical we emphasize the "1 Free" in our marketing. The next most favorable response (64\%) was to offer a 10% discount on future purchases. Only 24% thought discounts to local music events was a good idea so clearly we do not need to pursue this option. \begin{tabular}{|lccc|} \hline & Agree & Undecided & Disagree \\ 1.
