“The Char-Broil LP Gas Patio Caddie will be positioned through advertisements and commercials. This caddie will be positioned in be two different circumstances. The photos in these advertisements will be taken in parks or out in the open. They will feature couples that are enjoying themselves cooking with this small, portable grill. The idea will be to convey a feeling of happiness because this couple has the opportunity to use a grill instead of having to start a fire and cook off the ground. The other advertisements will show families with a small backyard that are trying to fit everything they want into that backyard and then have a grill that fits in tight places that would otherwise be unused.”
