daily blog questions.

think about something that you use (a product you enjoy) and say thanks to the company.
My product i enjoy would be my laptop. Thanks for making my product so small light and portable. It is a good product that i would enjoy having around with me for awhile. I use this product everyday and i would like to thank you for making this product so well and good. It will defiantly be shared around with my family and friends. This product has many brand for it but i love your company brand. its always good to have this product around with me. This product is a good for every where i go. Thanks for making this product well.
Share your expertise about a product worth using - take sides on a product war. Mac vs PC or Pepsi vs Coke comes to mind. Look at the two products websites, which one is better? Why?
Laptop vs Desktop. In this war i would pick laptop because with laptop you can carry it where ever you go and it is wireless. It is portable and cheep. You can watch movie on it and use it on the plane and you will be able to update your facebook, twitter, or tumblr where ever you go. It is also a good product to watch dvd on when you are on  the road. You can also bring it to school when you need it. Laptop you can have music on the go as well. And when you want it fix you can bring the hwhole thing to the store instead of taking the whole desktop

  10. If you were a tourist agent what would you be pitching for the upcoming holidays? Find a dream trip online, cost it out as if you were shopping for a trip for a family of four and convince me I should take the trip by marketing it on your blog.

honolulu will be the place i would go and it would cost C$2,425  per a person but if it was for all 4 people for 2 weeks it would be 9,668.52 including taxes. They cost a lot because its a last minutes trip flight and there are a lot of people. and that they are a fly out of the country and its over sea that it is multiple flights too. the fact that the plane cost alot because of the last minutes and that its close to christmas and that they might not be able to fly there.

And the price. i should also add in the info about the stereo like is it an alarm clock and what is it use for and the date i got it and how old it is. i would not write in the price i got it for because i want to make a profit and i don't want them to know i charge them more.

magine you are the manager of a store. You have an employee who is constantly late for work and who seems unmotivated when they are at work. How will you deal with this situation? What leadership style will you use? (Leadership styles - Autocratice Leadership, Laissez-Faire Leadership, Democratic Leadership)

If i had an employee who is always late for work i would tell them to come to work more often because we need them here. ill give them my reason and give them 1 week to improve their behaviour and by that 1 week if it dosent happen we will just have to let him go or put him in a lower ground. Talking is always the best option for this situation. I can talk to them rather then threatening them to come early. i can also have the right to ask them why they are late if it was a family issue then id be okay with it.

Why is customer service important?

They are important because if the customer ever needs help with the product they can ask the customer service for help of how much the price is and where the product is. you can ask how where the product is from and where is made. we can also ask them how much it is and why is there only this color product and more. with this you can ask them almost anything you want. Even if its about the price. you can also ask them for direction as well

What we can d to apply in school store.

The video tells us that if we want costumers its better to go to them rather having them come to us. They also show us that it is better to be awsome. If you want a good store then go to the person and dont let the person come to you its better having people know right now . go to the person and not the person come to you. Answer what are the 4Ps and what is AIDA in your own words. 

The 4ps were pricing- how much the item cost. Promotion who is it helping and where the product is going to or who is sponsoring them. place where it is held and where we will be selling the product and such. and product what the object or the food we are selling what we are selling.
AIDA stand for attention I stand for interest D stand for desire A action. These are step you should use when you are marketing your stuff and product. These are good ideas for a campain marketing poster if you want to make a good advertisement. docent have to be a poster.

Which category do you predict will generate the most profit for the store? 

i think hot chocolate will be the good selling profit because well its only 75 cent each and since its cold outside they will all want to buy hot chocolate to keep them warm and they dont have to go all the way to seven 11 and stuff. everyone can buy it because it is only 75 cent. if it takes good too then there friends will telll their other friend and they will be more warm and cozy.

Imagine you were given a job to market the ugliest christmas sweater ever. Write a list of things you could say to convince someone to buy the sweater.

  • Warm
  • cozy
  • great to spread the season
  • perfect gift
  • perfect sweater for a gigantic teddy bear
  • Great gift for a new born

Do you agree or disagree with the following statements? Explain Why.
I disagree with the statement "if you can't pay for something, it means i cant afford it,so i wont buy it" because if you cant pay for it, it mean you don't buy it. You can still buy it you just have to wait awhile before you can buy it. Yes price would be better lower bu dosent t how is the company will be making a profit then? we would also probably have to pay higher tax bill also. what the last 2 statements mean is that credits can help you along the way.
1. Planning  : Getting organize and having bunch of steps. Gets you ready for what you do, how you should do it and when you should do.
2. Organizing : It is to bring stuff together. It is also to organize an business more easier.
3. Staffing : It is the function of organizing stuff. Its also a very easy development.
4. Leading : being a good leader. lead and guiding.
5. Controlling : Taking action. taking control. know what you are doing and know what you are exactly saying.
So... we're managing our businesses... right? How's it going? Managers come in many forms. Your teachers, coaches, parents, and friends all exhibit the characteristics of managers. Think about some of these people that you respect and with whom you've enjoyed working. How did they motivate you to work harder? How can you use this in your work? 
we are doing great. we have made over 50$ already. We have met over alot of people who will buy flowers for them or them self. we never knew we would make 20$ but we ended up to make 50$. I enjoyed going around selling flowers for everybody making people smile and happy. They are soo happy i motivated myself by like telling everyone to be happy. Selling these flowers and making people smile makes me happy because everyone is so joyful and full of smile. It is great to see them around giving their special someone these flowers and know that we are happy they are happy and that we are making so much profit its just amazing.
Name a product that is in the decline stage of it's life cycle. Make recommendations for the product at this stage and give reasons for your answer. 
i pod nano because they dont sell them anymore because they have the i pod touch which is like the new ipod nano. To save this i can ask a bunch of people to vote yes they want it back because well its more portable and its more small and you can use it. The nano is a small i pod where you can keep in your pocket for a small time. No there is no camera but, you can still at least listening to music. They are just you can do is get a person go around with the petition and get people to sign it saying they want it back.
This weekend you worked on "PYP". What did you like about the product? What did you wish was different? Who would this product appeal to? How could you market to them within the school?
I like about the product because there is a template already made for you. You can personalize what you want as the background and what the picture shape is. I wish that you can just drag a picture on it and you could at least edit the photo while you are one the page too instead of doing it yourself then added it. I could like put an example of my page on the thing then say personalize your page on a poster where everyone can see and have an example of how their page can be like.
What is your least favourite ad? What is your favourite ad? Put an example of a good and a bad ad on your blog. Explain why one works for you and one doesn't.

  • outdoor ad
  • broadcast ad
  • convert ad
  • public service ad
Poster on a paper is my least favourite ad because its just plan and not to exciting this is call print advertising. Theres like nothing really exiting, its probably not as colourful and it doesn't really catches my eye. I also don't like celebrity ad because they make alot of people have low esteem and it makes them feel ugly and not them. My most favourite ad is outdoor ad because its outside where everyone can see. They use build bored so everyone and everything can be seen clearly.

This is a good ad because its because its just amazing its looks like they actually use the product and its in the opening where everyone can see.
This ad is not as good because its like under a big story. People will be more into the big news rather then the ad

 Which idea did you like the best and why?
The idea i like the best is Guerilla Marketing. What is Guerilla Marketing? Is a unique way to advertise products and to make people show them who is who. This is good for promoting or even advertising. What i like about this idea is that it can be very unique. Its so interesting and its a good way to actually advertise. Its something different from those normal advertisement you get while watching tv or listening to the radio. You are part of the advertisement. Its a great way to get people to be involve of the advertisement with you. It can also prove a point like the one with the shoe on the car. It shoes us that we should walk more rather then driving so we can save gas and also be fit and healthy.
 you think they are right about generation Y? How can you use this "consumer behaviour" analysis to further your company?
Yes i do because generation Y is more about using non- technology type stuff. Yes people still watch commercials on the tv but now they are starting to catch on about what is happening. Commercials has nothing really to do anything with. Its more about the media now. We can start or try advertising using all the ways we can so we can spread our company name faster and bigger to everyone. They will be easy to catch. So if generation Y don't catch on to the media commercial then they can still use this new this new thing to use.
What does this story teach you about customer service, customer loyalty, customer relations and the customer experience?
This story teach us that if you dont have good service you wont get good costumers. If you are not loyal to your customer you wont get good customers. Your relationship with your customer is what brings in the customer. The customer experience lots of different stuff. They will know how things are and how they should be treated. Customer service is also needed just incase they need help. If you give them good service they will give you good comeback. They will give you good feeling.
Is it possible for a business to be solvent but not profitable? Why or why not?
Yes it is because you can still make money and also buy more stuff. You will be able to make profit. But all the money you make will probably go to charities. Solvent, means that you have to pay all your bill so they will be able to meet their liberties. Not profitable means that you make profit but you dont want or get to keep the money. All the money they make will either go to charities. or they will donate to someone else that really need it. Yes this is possible but its up to you and if you want to try your best you can do it.

    How can businesses end up with bad reputation? are bad reputations always the business' fault? what can a company do to change negative public image?
    They end up with a bad reputation because of how they get people acting towards their customers. Its not always the business' fault. Some time it can be the customers fault because of how they treat them. What these company can do is apologize or even write a letter apologizing to their customer. They can have a sale or even just say sorry. They have bad reputation by treating their customers. They can have bad reputation from what people are doing to them since they are trying to compete for the most profit what they are doing can effect things.


    What i think about this man idea?
    What i think about this man idea is amazing. It is a great way to help the environment. Its amazing and i think people who really cares and love the environment will definitely try this. If he is trying to sell this idea then he will for sure make a whole lot of money because, it is a great way for something to help the earth. Yes this will be difficult but, if he has all the help he can get then i think that he will be able to complete this, save the earth and save water supply and even save us from losing to much plants, and water too. To be honest i would actually pay money for his idea.
    Author Isaac Asimov once stated, “Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what’s right.” State in your own words what you think Asimov meant.
    I think what this mean is that you shouldn't let anything get in your way to do what is right for you. Don't let nothing stand in your way of getting what is making you believe what is right. Dont let people what they think of you to tell you that this is not right. Believe that what you do is for yourself. Do whatever you want that will make you live and be happy. To always make sure that your own mind is not their to stop you. Dont let your own self stop you from doing in what you think, believe, and do what will make you happy. 
    What do you do if
    - Your friend asks you to add a few extra hours to a work time sheet for him, but you know that he did not put in the time.
    I wouldn't do it because, its not far to me or the everyone who works with it. i would just pretend to not listen to them and pretend to not hear them because its not far to everyone. No one gets the right to do that. Yes everyone has their lazy day but hey, it how it is you just have to suck it up and do it. - A salesperson in an electronics store offers to sell you an iPod after hours at a discounted price.
    Noo i would not take it as much as it is discounted i know that i would be responsible if i get caught and they will have my address and stuff because its under my name. So i think that i rather just pay 300 dollar for an ipod and have a object rather than paying probably over 1000 dollar and maybe end in jail and get nothing in return.
     - You are aware that the teller gave you back too much money when completing a banking transaction.

    i would return the money because the money isen't mine and i know that. and returning would be the best thing to do. I know i will get a conscience for it. 


    What are some products that you think could be considered unethical and morally wrong? Select one of these products and explain why you believe this is the case.
    Mc Donalds because they are really unhealthy, they can cause many people to be unfit and waste their money like the monopoly game dose anyone actually win or do they do this to get people to keep on buying their product? They are really fatting and you do not know what is happening behind the scene after what they are actually dong. After eating this you can be to unfit to even walk or even run. You feel like you have no energy that is what this product/ company can do to you after you eat it. Once in awhile is ookay.

    Why do you think it's become so popular? What do you think of the statement

She doesn't matter if it dosent have to do with her she still will take care of them or at-least care for them because she wants to live in the world where everyone is treated the same

    1. Why do you want to achieve your business goal?
    To be able to sell flowers to all the students. To be able to to spread some love through the whole school. Letting everyone know that flowers are a great way to spread and show some love. Also our goal is to make a profit.
    2. Is the business goal energizing?
    No it not because when selling flowers you don't have to run around and get people to excursus. We can try but i don't think we can do anything to make this energizing. 
    3. What will it look like when you get there?
    When we get their, i think our whole team will be well proud and we will know that. When everyone Loves each other and they know that someone out their is loving or caring for them. Everyone will probably start buying flowers to show how much they care a love each other. Maybe we wont make a profit maybe we will but if we try really hard i think we can achieve our goals.

    i learn that to get people to buy your stuff you need to have better offers. the more offer you have the more costumer you do. i also learn that competition is hard.                                                                        
    3. How will you ensure that you get paid on time?
    i'll keep track on when i get paid by calendar. ill mark up the day when im suppose to get paid and remind them the day before im suppose to get paid. If i receive the money for the product, the costumer has to give me all the money before we can give them the product.

    Survey question

    Would you guys buy flowers from different countries even though they are expensive?



    What would happen to businesses if everyone had unlimited cash?

    If everyone in the businesses had unlimited cash then there would be no point of having a profit, everyone wouldn't bather to do anything. There will be no point on making money. Every would not compete with everyone for customers, they wouldn't have to raise the prices up higher it will all be low or equal to in every company. There wouldn't be competition and there would be no point of having multi companies so we might as well just have one big one instead of bunch or little ones. All the companies wont have a point in having a profit.


    How do convincing speakers vary their speech when they speak for different purposes and to different people?


    Convincing speakers they use emotions, hand motions, and different tons in there voices. They don't use the same ton of voice when they are speaking. Convincing someone you try your best to do what ever so they will come to you. Don't talk all boring and act like you don't really care if you go with them or not. Be loud but don't scream at them at the same time. You're trying to convince the person not trying to scare them. Make sure you take charge and let NO ONE get in your way of speaking. Always try to get the person attentions. Dress nicely, don't come in and speak to them in PJ or such bad clothes. Always keep smiling and give them the best impressions


    .On your blog answer what did you learn about team work from the last two assignments? What do you do well as a team member? Why is that important?

Dosent matter if you are in a group of the same gender or female you can still work together. Communication and positive attitude is what makes us accomplished what we did. I think me as being part of the team and helping out is what i do best because, well everyone can do what ever they can.


    What can you take from this video into your own work?

    This video saying that its better have multi choices rather then having just one. You are giving people different types of products to choose from so when a group of people try out you can get better results. So for our work it is better to have different kinds and choices so we are planing to sell flowers right, so its better to have different types of flowers rather then just having one type of flowers. Because we are human we have different tastes. So its best to have different types.


    How to create student blog?

    Describe your competition's products. What are the prices of your competition? How do they market their goods and services? Were you able to talk to staff and customers?


    our competition is panda flowers. There is one by our school, and since its located by our school students from our school can buy it there. The prices of a bouquet is about $40 and up for about 20 flowers and we are only selling $10 for about 7-10 flowers. They market their goods by having commercials. having daily specials, and having fresh flowers everyday (: I was not able to talk to the staff, but i have been into their store before. Their flowers are well organized and not clumped up together.
