If I were a marketer with the aim of starting a business in my hometown, I would venture into the manufacturing industry as a huge percentage of the population work in that field meaning that they are experienced. Besides, I would have my target population being the reproductive age between ages 16 to 64 as they make the highest population and therefore would be the largest consumer of the products being marketed. The only thing that I would be required to change is to tailor the products to suit the needs of the target population for both genders and as well set a favorable price to attract my customers.Reference
