In this video its showing us that coke zero tastes just like normal coke, which is giving the consumer to drink more healthy because it tastes like normal coke but has zero calories which helps the consumer wants to buy it.




In this video its pretty much saying you can't go wrong with doritos because the crystal ball works with the free doritos but doesn't work so will with the boss therefore you can't go wrong with doritos.

Market information management

In sports marketing class we are studying marketing information management (mim). Marketing information management is gathering and using information about customers to improve business decision making, like a focus group. A focus group is a group of people who talk and discuss about improving the business or a problem. We did a focus group activity in class which my teacher had 3 differnt sodas and we not knowing which one is which had drank them and had to decide our favorite. In the video i found was a focus group about people discussing health care and other problems.

Distrubution Activity

Today in our marketing class we learned about distrubution. Distrubution is how a company gets there product from point A to point B. We did an activity which we had to get salt and water from one side of the room to another side using a spoon, napkin, and straw. Our plan was for the water just suck it all up as much as you can and go and just come back if needed. Then the napkin and spoon just try to scoop as much salt as we can. It was a pretty good play, we could have made it better if we would of got all the salt in one trip so it would of made it faster. Some of the challeges were that there were lots of other people going the same or different way we were going so it made alot of trafic. Our sucesses were that the water got there real fast and everything got there without droping anything. Having a good distribution plan is important because they won't loose any of there products trying to ship it, trying to get it somewhere. So its more money the company saves if it doesn't loose any products.
