Exercise 6

You are a recently hired associate at Van Fleet Analytics, a medium-sized marketing research firm. In addition to being a well-respected industry leader in marketing research, the firm prides itself on its work within the community. One specific community service project is the company's annual "bowl-a-thon" to raise money for the local Humane Society. Your supervisor asks you to coordinate this year's bowl-a-thon. In the past, the bowl-a-thon has been held at different bowling alleys throughout the city, so your supervisor leaves it up to you to find the best deal. In conducting research on the Internet, you come across Marcotti Lanes, which bills itself as "one of the premier bowling and entertainment centers in the region." Intrigued, you decide to find out more.
In an email of inquiry, come up with realistic details about the event (e.g., date, time, number of lanes needed, food and beverage requirements) that you will need to let Marcotti Lanes know about. In addition, devise a list of questions that will determine if Marcotti Lanes is suitable for your event. These questions may be related to cost, non-bowling entertainment options, or anything else of importance. Write the questions in such a way that you'll be sure to receive a thorough, detailed response.
