My hypothetical business would be a daycare center because single parents sometimes struggle with childcare and that I love having kids around.

 Kings Kids Inc. would be located at 919 Pontiac, Michigan, in the United States. The company will offer daycare services operating five days a week through physical learning services and online platforms. It will be involved in equipping skills to young children and assisting them in laying a balanced life foundation. The company has implemented a unique marketing mix strategy.

The 4Ps of Marketing

King Kids, Inc.’s popularity will grow due to an effective marketing strategy applied by management and by integrating the marketing mix elements: product, price, place, and promotion. Product as the first element is evident in how the company has differentiated its daycare services from the rest in the market. Among the ways used is by introducing live stream platforms for the parents to view their children’s progress while at the school facility. Live streaming contributes to the customer experience, which is significant in building a broader customer base (Lahtinen et al., 2020).

Pricing strategy is the second strategy used by the company is positioning its presence in the market. This has been attained by setting a price based on the quality of services offered in the facility. The high-end quality of the services backs pricing based on the value of the services provided.

A third element is where King Kids will establish its premises conveniently accessible to customers or parents who intend to have their children in the facility. It is also well-designed to ensure the safety of children from accidents associated with external factors such as traffic. In addition, the company engages in an integrative marketing strategy to promote the services offered in the facility. This contributes to awareness creation, contributing to increased enrollment of more kids into the child development center (Lahtinen et al., 2020).
