1) Not everyone in the world has cash, sometimes it is better to use the barter system for people in poor countries. so i disagree.

2) That isn't the case because of credit, just because you don't have the money in hand doesn't mean you can't buy it. Disagree

3) Not a good idea because of credit card interest, you could find yourself in debt really fast. Disagree

4) Having a good credit rating is important for things like getting a mortgage. Agree.

Well the managing is going alright, I'm definitely still new at this but I think that I can definitely keep doing this. My mom is a great motivator and manager in life, partly because she works in a position where she has lead over a team, and partly because she has been parenting for sixteen years so she has experience at it. She is patient but she doesn't take crap excuses. She is respectful to those under her and in that way she earns their respect. She is also a hard worker herself. I think by just using those three things I can become a better manager for my company.

I'm not sure if this counts, but I'm gonna roll with it. Microsoft's failure of an mp3 player the Zune. I'm not sure if there really was a time that people wanted a Zune to be completely honest. But i know for a fact that no one wants to buy one now. Microsoft made a mistake trying to make a product to match apple's iPod. It actually made the iPod look more desirable to consumers. There isn't really anything that I can offer to Microsoft to save this product in the form of advice. The product is dead. Give up and stick to computers and video games.

This it's a pretty cool product. It offers a wide range of customization to the pages. You can customize the background with a great selection, you can customize the size of your pictures and create things like captions and speech bubbles as well. I like the fact that you can get your pictures from Facebook but i was disappointed at the fact that it wasn't working when i used it. I didn't really see any faults to the product when i used it or hey are just not coming to mind. This will appeal to the students in our school, especially grade twelve students. Well we are talking about marketing right now.

Ads

My favourite ad must be the Dos Equis ads featuring the "most interesting man in the world". They make me laugh and it is such a catchy ad that stays with you, their slogan is great and the character is great. The Dairy Queen ads of late have been really bad in my opinion, they seem to have ripped off the idea that worked so well for old spice. I am uninterested and kind of turned off DQ when i see these ads.

I think Product placement is a really effective way to market your product. People follow what celebrities do, what they wear what they eat. So of course they will try out the product if their favourite celebrity has it. My favourite guerilla marketing idea would definitely have to be the volkswagen ad with the slide, what a genius idea, let people ride down a slide and have fun, while marketing your brand. Without a doubt I'm sure it was really successful. I also thought the nike ad with putting shoes on tires is a really good idea too.

I believe that the information is true for other businesses but i don't rea;;y see how it applies to a coffee shop in the school, it makes sense for a clothing brand or and electronics company. It even makes sense for a coffee company like tim hortons or star bucks but i just don't see how it would affect my business, its pretty clear cut, coffee at the school in the mornings for a good price and for good quality. I don't really think that we have time to change everything to adapt to gen y. But i still think the concept is interesting.

I suppose that it is possible that a business can be solvent and non profitable, but only under certain conditions. Solvency is being able to pay your debts when you need to. So in order for a business to be solvent but not profitable it must break even and just even. You can't have any less or anymore money. Like i said this only happens in certain situations.
