I have tried to cover the brief history of the company, their objective, vision, and mission of the company and this brief history and other sub heading under it is compulsory to be understood and researched well as they form the basis for marketing plan of the company that I found through online (reference available on the last page). I have also tried to cover about their policies and marketing such as the product and merchandize supplied from the company worldwide.
