Week 7

One of the most interesting things that I learned in the 3620 class was some of the video clips that we were watching. One video particularly stuck out shows how long it takes for certain companies or objects to reach one million or one billion consumers. I thought that it was interesting that it only too 9 months for face book to get one million consumers. And it took like over 10 years for 1 million people to get a TV in there home. I have also learned in the 3500 class alot about different brands and I have been thinking about a brand on the cattle around here and thinking that it is very similar. I think that it is very interesting how people can recognize a certain brand and marketing mix.

Week 6

This week we have talked alot about marketing research, we also talked about the seven steps that outline marketing research. The seven steps show how to find a problem and how to fix the problem. I think that this can be applied to life and help any individual become a better person. We did not have the 3620 class this week because we had our Monday schedule.

Week 5

First of all I think that marketing is a very complex subject. I have been learning about the marketing principles that coca cola has adopted. I had the opportunity to do a research paper on the coca cola company. It is intresting to see how company's market for a certin age group to target them and sell to them. I think it is itresting the market for energy drinks are a tall can and imulate the tall beer cans. This shows that businesses target certain things or certain people to make the money. By this I mean that the company is focused on groups before the products are even sold. In the 3620 class we have learned from the guest speaker the time value of money and showed us that it is important to become financially stable and be smart in all the decesions we make.

Week 4

This week I have learned tons in both of my classes first of all I have spent more time twittering and blogging. In the 3620 class watching the film I learned how important business skills are in the reality of life. Many people develop different way but good business skills are valued. In the 3500 class I have learned a lot about chocolate! Also about buyers remorse and the value of being financially smart.

Week 3

I am now on twitter and blogging. I have learned about corporate social responsibility and the importance of ethics. This shows how much a company or even a single person cares about society. I think that costumer service and serving the economy is a great way to get business and people will continue buying from any good quality business.

Week 2

This week I have learned how important it is to establish a social network for any business. I have learned that there are cheep ways to market products and great ways to establish a product through the Internet. Blogs, face book and twitter are great social networks for people to post good things about products and share things with people through the world.
Week 1

The first day of class seems to be a good day to miss, but this class has been a bit different. The first day of class was cool I liked how the Professor asked each of us to write down good things about good teachers and the bad things that we each dislike, so we can make the class the most productive successful. I think that this class will be very productive and I look forward to this class.
