Final Project: Business Mission Statement

The price is set at $3.79. They will be packaged in an appealing red green and white package to represent the Indian Flag and I will have a blue letter on the package to show the true essence of India. They are a perfect pretzel to go along with a nice alcoholic beverage. "As a first step, marketers need to understand customer needs and wants and the marketplace within which they operate." With this being stated the true place for this pretzel shall be either a high end bar/nightclub or a cozy pub. So that it is easy enough to kick back and enjoy this taste treat. "The most basic concept underlying marketing is that of human needs." With this statement we bring the attention of how the pretzel will also make people want to drink more alcohol.

Week 8 EOC:

While riding on the back of this gigantic elephant, I decided that I wanted a taste of some illegal alcohol. I know it sounded so scandalous, but I truly couldn't help myself. So I went over and asked a cute local girl named Divya, whom was very fluent in both English and Hindi. Well I had asked her if she knew of any good alcohols, she said no but that she could ask the wise old man down the way. So she kept her word and came back and told me of an interesting drink, Tharra. She told me I should join the men down the way, which they would love a great story of an adventure man who is traveling around the world in eighty days. So I scurried as quickly as I could to catch up with these peculiar men who had the most interesting of footwear, barefoot men is what I was surrounded by. Little did I know I would be so intoxicated that I’d end up as barefoot as them. This home brewed alcohol was quite strong! Yet it was quite good at the first sip but by the third sip I was seeing doubles of every shade. That was when this intriguing barefooted man who was old and grey handed me this very beautifully colored package of deliciousness. As I opened it, my alcoholic binge was put to a stand still for this savory smell filled the air around me, smacking me out of my doubled daze. So I broke off a piece of this large sensationally great smelling pretzel and took a bite, before I knew it my pallet was filled with joy. The next thing I noticed my pretzel was suddenly gone. Oh, my head began to spin as the last flavor to taste was sitting on the tips of my fingers, oh how that pretzel made me feel as though I was the barefooted grey haired wise man, oh how I wished I could be him at that very moment. I wanted to live in this delicious life forever. This pretzel is truly one of a kind. So before I left on my way to finish off my remaining 67 days I couldn't help but splurge on over 126 dollars’, so whether you have the money or not it is worth the spanging of change for this is heavenly goodness that belongs to such a unique pretzel.

Week 6 EOC: Me Times Three

Three things to express myself, is truly hard to come up with. One thing though that really tends to express myself would honestly have to be hair dye. I really do believe hair dye is something that I probably over use but truly love. I love dying my hair, the smell make me super excited to see the outcome. Though at times when it isn't the color I want, in a couple weeks it’ll be time for a change.

Another thing to express myself would have to be my jackets/vests. No matter what I love to accessorize not with jewelry but with a jacket or a vest. I have a fitted hooded jacket with an edgy style, I feel as though it can make the simplest of outfits look fierce. I have several vests ones a white faux leather and it adds a nice touch to a colored outfit, or my jean army inspired studded and hooded vest, would have to be my favorite, it’s different, and it’s comfy and I absolutely love it.

Last but not least the third thing that expresses me would definitely have to be my body modifications. I have piercing and tattoos and honestly I love them all and it truly makes me my unique self. I have gauges and extra ear piercings which I tend to wear on and off. I have tattoos that express who I am, and I have had so many different types of piercings its crazy.

These three things are what separate me from everyone else. They make me unique, I stand out because of these things and I wouldn't change these three things about myself. For I have learned to express myself in a way I feel most comfortable, whether people like it or not. So that being said, these are three things to express me.

Week 1 EOC: Great Customer Service.

Great Customer Service.. Well for starters, occasionally you will see Wal-Mart doing this, but for the most part, they suck at it. Every time I enter the store I try to remember where exactly everything is, for I dread asking a sales person. Usually when I need to speak to someone there, they never exactly know where the item in their department is, and if they do the sales person is NEVER around. I’d like to say that this is an example of the WORST customer service on the planet along with Pet Pros, who are constantly rude; their dogs always smell like piss. Oh, not to mention they do not treat their dogs kindly, but some have been starving!!!

The best customer service experience I have had would have to be Urban Outfitters; they are always so upbeat and encourage you to try on clothes in the nicest manor possible. They persuade their customers, and they always seem to end up satisfied. I remember going in to try on a pair of shorts and the dressing room attendant had straight up told me “I think the black acid wash shorts would look better, if you are looking for high waist shorts”, so I grabbed the pair and tried them on, and loved them. I also ended up trying a pair of jeans and she turned to me and smiled and said, “I wish they were in my size, they are so cute.” The people there are really just extremely friendly and make you want to buy and always come back for more.  Not to mention they have the coolest shoes at the most affordable price. I completely recommend shopping there.

Week 5 EOC: Social Networks and Job Hunting

"These programs employ everyday consumers who are passionate about their products to act as part PR agents, part sales reps, and part evangelists."Employing customers, lifetime customers, people who love the food or love the product. People paid to promote a product are Brand Ambassadors. "A labor of love more than a paying job." So rather then them having a real job the get paid to eat something they enjoy eating, or wearing clothing products they have always worn. To most people this would probably be the easiest/ funnest job on the planet and I'm sure if you could apply to be one, most people would.


"Facebook hires account for less than 1% of the total hires companies are making, according to Jobs2Web, which helps companies track the sources of candidates and hires." It seems as though you can click on ads posted on Facebook to apply for a job, which seems simple enough. Though, from experience I know this to not be as easy as it sounds. First the work from home jobs are almost always scams. Cause you never receive the kit you pay for. Also half the time when you apply to the jobs they have, once you give your phone number you get non-stop calls asking if you are interested in continuing your education. Though, every job that messages you seems to only point you in the direction of you "modeling" for some BS company. Or even you promoting some crapy energy drink.. So it seems to me that Facebook is probably not the way to go to look for a job.

Week 3 EOC: My Demographics

BABY BOOMERS(1946-1964)

"More babies were born in 1946 than ever before: 3.4 million, 20 percent more than in 1945."

The Baby boom generation actually took up 40% of the nation. It occurred after the war, and the want for children grew, for the wives of soldiers had put off having children to wait for their husbands to come home.

GENERATION X(1964-1981)

"Members of Generation X are often characterized as being well-educated but under-employed." It was more common to see divorced woman in this generation which meant single moms. Because the moms had to earn a living to support their children, the children in this generation grew up and became more independent . 

GENERATION Y/ NEW BOOMERS (1983-2001)

This generation has been known to change job and even careers frequently. They are known to be less committed to work then other generations. They are also known as the 'Me, Me, Me' Generation. They are also the biggest since the Baby Boomers. "Labeling them the ‘Me, Me, Me’ generation: narcissistic, fame-obsessed, and self interested"

Baby Boomers and Gen. Y are similar due to the fact that Gen. Y has had almost as many kids as the Baby Boomers. Other than that they have little in common, but some could be their parents. Generation X seems to put more effort into their work, while Generation Y may work but may also not have a job for very long.
