Response to Sell or Not Sell

I believe this is a breach of  this would be a breach of the confidentiality of the pol takers and could ensue greater legal ramifications. As well as break the trust that anyone might have in Johns Company. By the end of the day John could loss his business either way but not giving out the names still keeps him as a trustworthy individual.

Response to Drew's Ship mp Pants

I found this commercial hilarious and it really caught my eye. I find that the world of commercializing has become really serious with humor making small appearances. The issue becomes that you can't please everyone, so what if K-mart comes out with a Funny commercial with humor we don't normally see, it pleases some but not all and more than likely they'll come out with a more serious commercial. Both of theses will please different people in the market.

Cigarette Flavor Names

So about two years ago cigarette companies where made to change the flavor names of their cigarettes from light and ultra light for example to color names such as gold and silver. This was done because the light and ultra light names made some individuals think that the cigarettes were better for you. My question to you is what do you think of this change. Do you feel the old names made the cigarettes sound "healthier".

Response to Justins post Branding

I do think that people buying generic makes the company with brand names look for cheaper ways to produce their products. This may lead to outsourcing but is not the only reason for outsourcing. Brands help a product get regognized and helps when the economy comes out of a recession.

Advertising

I was on Facebook the other day and saw this advertisement that was for a website called loft.com. For the advertisement  it said Click now to Shop LOFT. Tome this sounded a little like shop lift, now I know this is not what it means but this play with words resembles a lot. Do you think this was done on purpose to bring attention to the site or do you think it doesn't mean anything. How often do you see this in advertising.

Response to Heather Young's post on convince items

I work at a convience store and know specifically why we put certain items up front but I always seemed to be sucked in to buying and item that is in eyesite while I stand in line. It is my biggest weakness when shopping and in terms of trying to sell a product it is very effective.

Marketing on Facebook

So most of the people in the world now have a Facebook page, and businesses also have their on Facebook pages. What really gets me are the advertisements that pop up on the side, I personally have not seen an advertisement that really interest's me. The advertisements themselves are supposed to be based off of what we look up and suggestion of what are friends like. My question is do you think this is an effective form of marketing.
