The tool that LASS almonds will focus and use as a strong marketing and data gathering calculator will be Google Analytics. This calculating metic formulations allow for the analysis and gathering of data to a particular website. The metric will be very helpful when trying to follow how much the product awareness and recognition that our marketing objectives have developed. One emphasis that Google Analytics holds strongly is the ability to represent “pageviews by user” as mention by Guillaume Bouchard, CEO of iProspect Canada.1 In recording and representing the number of views a certain page or link has on a webpage, LASS almonds will first-handedly gain much data knowledge to interpret into the likeability of the product or returnable customers. Sales numbers and gross revenue are always a good and clear example of the company 's return on investment. However, LASS’s objectives are non-numerical in our first year of business, therefore, Google Analytics defines and measures the unclear raw data. The calculated metrics that would represent the amount of views would be a sub-section under under Blue Diamond Growers already established homepage.

of Philip Morris, said “People could point to these things and say, ‘They’ve got too much sugar, they’ve got too much salt […] well, that’s what the consumer wants, and we’re not putting a gun to their head to eat it. That’s what they want.” (Moss 267) However, consumers are being unconsciously forced to fund food industries that produce junk food. Companies devote much of their time and effort into manipulating us to purchase their products. For instance, Kraft’s first Lunchables campaign aimed for an audience of mothers who had far too much to do to make time to put together their own lunch for their kids. Then, they steered their advertisements to target an even more vulnerable pool of people; kids. This reeled in even more consumers because it allowed kids to be in control of what they wanted to eat, as Bob Eckert, the C.E.O. of Kraft in 1999, said, “Lunchables aren’t about lunch. It’s about kids being able to put together what they want to eat, anytime, anywhere” (Moss 268). While parents are innocently purchasing Lunchables to save time or to satisfy the wishes of their children, companies are formulating more deceiving marketing plans, further studying the psychology of customers, and conducting an excessive quantity of charts and graphs to produce a new and addictive
Market research and information about the industry is very important to the organization because it will allow the organization to position itself well in terms of sourcing chocolate raw materials and in identifying the market for its products.

Our vision is to promote a newly-located franchise in Sioux Falls, where nearby individuals will be aware of the healthy and delicious options provided by the chain. Currently, Eat Fit Go advertisements have reached an adequate amount of adults. Without further marketing, the small business will experience a decline in active consumers. Decrease in customers may eventually lead to loss in revenue and reputation damage to the packaged-meal franchise. Mass marketing in a surrounding education facility is utilized to notify the public, possibly future devotees, of a friendlier, nutritious meal. Through talking with the Marketing Manager at Eat Fit Go we found that they were lacking advertisements directed at adolescents in the surrounding areas

Many well known companies in today’s market claim to want to provide for their consumers and make their lives better through the use of their product. These companies also have goals, expectations, reputations, and salaries to pay. They will do anything to get their product ahead, whether it is an automobile, food brand, or electronic device. Companies selfishly promote their product, and sometimes end up hurting their buyer in the long run. It as if nothing else matters then getting ahead and making a profit. The Kellogg’s Company, the world's leading producer of cereal and a leading producer of convenience foods is no stranger to this method. The Kellogg Company has been accused of marketing their products with cartoon characters and product tie-ins aimed at children, despite high levels of sugar and salt in their foods. This causes a major health problem in a country where childhood obesity is an ever growing epidemic. A solution to this issue would be to scale back on sugar and fructose ingredients used in the products, and also add a kid friendly healthy line of foods to the company. This pleases the consumer, as well as expands the corporation.

...onsibility when marketing products to children. Today’s children have a higher rate of obesity and a higher rate of diabetes. The grocery industry has had an industry standard of placing items targeted to children on the lower shelves in the isles. In many cases these target items have been high sugar and high sodium foods that are not healthy for these inactive sedentary kids. The industry today is recognizing this issue and although this practice still continues the companies are addressing some complaints by offering more child friendly packaging on healthy foods. Some new packaging depicts healthy combinations of foods and encourages children of reading age to participate in outdoor activities and exercise. As customers realize the negative effects these foods have on their children they will demand a more responsible response from the businesses they frequent.
Nestle and other breakfasts Cereal Company’s all too often sacrifice potential segments of the market to target one specific group, in many cases; small families and children. The front page of the Nestle website features a banner stating “Click to learn more about the new recipes of your kids favorite breakfast cereals” (Nestle). It is understandable therefore why as the RIAS Presentation suggests over 50’s feel “patronized” (RIAS) a view supported by the Millennium slides, which comment; “55% [of over 50’s] believe marketers treat them in a patronizing way.” (Millennium) An alteration of Nestlé’s advertising, packaging and consumer perception is essential, if they are to target the over 50’s. As the RIAS presentation suggests “Provide choice” (RIAS) perhaps in a variance of products, and show that Nestle “listen to customers” (RIAS) will see successful penetration of the over 50 market segment.
