    Introduction
    This portfolio work project, a marketing mix project, will help you demonstrate competency in developing the elements of the marketing mix using the 7 “P”s of marketing and the 5 “S”s of digital marketing models. This project will also allow you to demonstrate your understanding of how the marketing mix influences customer loyalty.
    Scenario
    For this assessment, choose either Option 1 or Option 2. You do not need to do both. You will apply one of these scenarios in the Requirements below. Both options will be graded using the same scoring guide.
    Option 1
    You are an owner of Spokin’ Wheels, a locally owned bicycle shop with two locations. While your original location has been in business for several years, your second location has only been open a few months. The bicycle shops sell new and previously owned major brand bicycles. The shops also provide repairs, offer a small line of bicycle accessories and clothing, and organize group rides on Sunday mornings. You and your business partner both want to have a solid understanding of the marketing mix before creating a broader marketing plan.
    Option 2 
    Use a firm or scenario of your choosing. Before choosing a company, read the assessment requirements thoroughly to ensure:
