MARKETING INTRO

My favorite place to shop is American Eagle.
AEs target marketing is 15-25.
AEs marketing mix is having an on-line and magizine shopping. They also have stores in the mall which targets teens to come and shop. They use the latest fashion and people who look the age to get the attention of teens 15-25 years of age.
