e-marketing project “ ______” (project name) for “______” (company name)
Roles and responsibilities for building an e-marketing and e-business prototype

Introduction:

As part of the course “e-marketing”, a module part of the “Bachelor business management, marketing, students are required to contact a business and propose to work out an e-marketing prototype. This prototype consists of a webshop and the use of internet marketing and social media techniques to promote this webshop.

What will you get ?

In a nutshell: A student team (marketing students, Artevelde University College) will build you a prototype webshop and an e-marketing campaign tailored to your company. Your company name will be made unrecognisable. The project is for free – no associated costs are planned. In exchange, we only request some (very limited) time to answer questions the students might have. We don’t promise you a prototype that actually can be scaled up for use in production! By underwriting this letter, the student team confirms formally to respect confidentiality about what they might learn about your company.
