Write a New Product Description  (Part A)

Using the company profile you have developed, develop a proposal for a new product.  Be sure to consider the company history, its current product line and the direction the corporation is taking.  Mission and goals might inform a new product.  You might consider the need for the product as well as the investment of company resources to its development.  Finally name the new product and write a few sentences to use in its promotion.  Limit your product description to 1 page.

Write Directions for Use (Part B)

When your new product is finally in production, a user's guide or directions for use is necessary to be included in packaging and promotion.  Write a description of “how to use” for most effective performance of your new product.  Be sure to include appropriate sequence of steps in its use.  Include any cautions regarding its use: indoor/outdoor operation, age/skills of operator, conditions for best operation, and such.  Graphic illustration might be excellent for this writing task.  Describe the format for your user's guide: print document included in package, online document and helpdesk, graphic illustration on packaging, and such.  Limit your user directions to 1 page.
