Advertising and sales is a course offered here at The Ranch. The course teaches marketing skills and techniques. The course is directed towards(but not limited to) students with a desire to start a career in the marketing world. The course is taught by Mrs. Speers.

This year so far, the students have been creating power points and word documents where they make their own advertisements. The students also answer questions about the history and fundamentals of marketing. Mrs. Speers also shows the popular show “Shark Tank” once a week to show the students the full development and presentation of a product.

Mrs. Speers has a different style of teaching. Speers gives more hand-on assignments where the students use their imagination to create actual advertisements on the computer, rather than doing worksheets all day.

The course is only a semester long so you should look into it if you are interested in taking it in the spring.
