Many intelligent entrepreneurs have engaged with CSUF Consulting teams to prepare their businesses to meet the demands of the modern customer. Each team is comprised of four to six students majoring in business. These students have studied cutting edge strategies and many of them are, or plan on being, entrepreneurs themselves. Our students have the right mix of knowledge and creativity to help take your business to the next level.
Assisting each CSUF Consulting team are a professor and a mentor, both with a history of excellence in the private sector and/or in academia.These professionals guide their teams and help them focus on the most important aspects of their client's marketing strategy.
CSUF Consulting Process - Marketing
For each project the students spend the majority of the semester crafting a detailed strategic plan tailored to their client’s specific needs. Closely interacting with their client, the students inform their marketing plan with insights from the client, customers, and marketing experts. By the end of the semester, the students have developed a thorough strategic report detailing ways that the client can enhance their current marketing efforts.
