Advertisement & Launching
Advertisements will be increased to spread the word of the company’s new program to
clients and the general public. Information sessions and online videos will be available to explain
this new system. This will attract customers and allow us to grow our database. Finally, our
application will be launched and we will be fully ready to use the new system for the 2016 tax
season.
Evaluation Plan
During step 3 of the implementation plan, evaluations will take place to see whether the
app is working as hoped. Management will oversee clients and employees and take notes on their
observations. Notes should be focused around criteria including functionality, audience,
navigation/usability, advantages, disadvantages, cost, and accuracy. In addition, clients and
employees will be asked to take a survey evaluating the application. Clients will be given an
incentive to participate such as a 10% discount if they participate. The survey will be similar to
the following:
Evaluation Survey

TurboTax Recommendation 7
After the survey is completed by clients and employees and the notes from management
are compiled, the necessary changes will be made to enhance the app and we will go forth with
launching this new service.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
