Group Project: Consumer Experience Field Project:
The main purpose of this assignment is to help you judge the consumers’ experience in the real businessworld.

Consumer experience can be enriched through several marketing aspects/elementsrelated to the stores’ design, environment, location, frontline salesclerk, etc. and certainly you should takethem under the consideration in your assignment. In addition to our class materials, many non-classresources should help you in this project.
