24. Advertising plan:
If I were to advertise the Rubik brand I would make a good speed cube. Also I would add all of the WCA events to the store. And I would have Rubik make some other non WCA puzzles. I would also make a TV ad showing a speed cuber solving a rubik brand speed cube in less than 10 seconds. That is what I would do if I where advertising Rubix.
