Assignment: Advertising Budget

Project Description:

The Painted Paradise Golf Resort and Spa tends to attract local residents for weekend getaways and special events, so they have an aggressive marketing strategy that includes many different mediums for their advertising. In April, William Mattingly, CEO, would like to present a summary of their advertising costs to the board of trustees. The report to the board will include the budgeted amount for each month as well as the actual amount spent, along with a consolidated summary of the quarter. In order to make it easier and more consistent for different areas of the resort to advertise, he would also like an advertising request form created so each manager understands what their options for advertising are.
