Unit 15: Hospitality Marketing Essentials
Unit code T/616/1801
Unit level 4
Credit value 15
Introduction
This unit is designed to introduce students to the principles of marketing, enabling
them to develop a basic marketing plan and to employ elements of the marketing
mix to achieve results. While they will learn the underpinning theories and
frameworks, they will also be able to relate these to real-world examples, including
products/services that they encounter in their own daily lives.
Hospitality organisations such as Hilton, Accor, McDonalds, Costa Coffee and small
local businesses all have at least one thing in common: they all use marketing to
influence us to engage with their products and/or services. Whether it is becoming
a loyal customer buying a product and service or donating to a charity,
organisations use a range of marketing techniques and tools to inform and
influence us.
The knowledge, understanding and skill sets that students will gain on successfully
completing this unit will enhance their career opportunities; whether setting up
their own business or being employed by an organisation.
