One important thing when looking at our price structure was determining the structure or our product. We decided to go 15% Cheeto and 85% bagel. Our reasoning was that this item is a bagel being accented with Hot Cheetos. The Hot Cheetos are meant to add a unique flavor; if we add too much Hot Cheeto flavor it might overpower the bagel. This would be bad because it would alienate the main design of the product thus not applying correctly to our customer group.
The next thing we bad to address was how we would package our product. We decided on the industry standard a plastic tube like bag with a quantity of 6 bagels. When looking at our competitors this was the standard packing they use; also Thomas currently packages their products this

To some it may be considered an old fashioned form of advertisement; however, it still remains to have a strong presence with consumers. It strongly encourages consumers to purchase the product, research further the product online, and it does not annoy the consumer to see the ad itself. Flamin Hot Cheetos is placed in magazine ad such as Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, Teen Vogue, and J-14. Thomas’ Bagels markets a different segment of the market focusing more on US Weekly, Food & Family, Food Network Magazine, Bon Apetit, and Martha Stewart Living. The magazines that Thomas’ Flamin Hot Cheeto Bagel will invest in would be targeting both of these market segments. Flamin Hot Cheetos is generated to target to a younger market segment, Generation Z; however, Thomas’ Bagels is focusing on baby boomers and Generation X. Thomas’ Flamin Hot Cheeto Bagel will be able to successfully target a wide variety of market segments by placing their magazine ads in all of these magazines. Lastly, you cannot forget televison. Television is a huge part of baby boomer’s life. On average, baby boomers watch 63% more television than millennials watching shows such as CSI, ER, and Jeopardy. Millennials tend to watch Grey’s Anatomy, The Bachelor, Spongebob, The Simpsons, Family Guy, and The Walking
Setting prices too high would discourage purchasing and setting prices too low negatively affects revenue. While several pricing strategies exist, the use of a value-based pricing system, as implemented at Cabela’s, offers an optimal strategy that meet both customer expectations and company requirements.
Advertising is form of communicating and using methods into getting the buyers to purchase a product. Cosmopolitan has done a good job in determining what readers and listeners want and need. Cosmopolitan is a magazine directed toward young people who have low self- confidence and low self-esteem and also who care about health and appearance. As Fowles said, “By giving form to people’s deep-lying desires and picturing states of being that individuals privately yearn for.” (Fowles, 137). All advertisers know who and what readers wish or long for.
Consumers are bombarded with advertisements every single day. On almost all forms of media, companies use advertisements to convince consumers to purchase their product. A large medium for advertisements are magazines. Most of the advertisements in Parents magazine appeal to parents because that is the target audience of the magazine. A cat food advertisement would appeal to a lot of parents because many families have cats. Sheba and Fancy Feast both had advertisements in the magazine, but one of the advertisements is clearly more effective. The Fancy Feast advertisement is more effective than the Sheba advertisement because of product placement, color, and model placement.
Targeted Audiences: Which One Suits You? According to Steve Craig in Signs of Life in the USA, the economic structure of the television industry has a direct effect on the placement and content of all television programs and commercials. Craig is a professor in the department of radio, television, and film at the University of North Texas, Craig has written widely on television, radio history, and gender and media. His most recent book is Out of the Dark: A History of Radio and Rural America (2009). Craig talks about the analysis of four different television commercials, showing how advertisers carefully craft their ads to appeal, respectively, to male and female consumers.
An effective advertisement is able to persuade its viewers by providing informative facts about a brand that help create a sense of liking, which will enhance certain attitudes and feelings about the brand from the target audience. If an advertisement is effective it will be able to persuade its target audience. The persuasive appeals used in the Bud Light Party advertisement are source likeability, humor appeal, and appeal to broad cultural values, specifically patriotism. This paper will analyze how these three persuasive appeals can make an advertisement successful by grabbing the attention of its target audience, the millennial generation, making them more likely to have purchase intentions due a connection made between the advertisement
As many people know in todays world there are two of just about everything. There are the original item and the “knock off,” brand or item. One widely known knock off brand would be Great Value. With food there are a lot of things that have two sides, one being Hot Cheetos. Some people say that the knock brand is always better or eventhe same but some people beg to differ.
As we learned from Chapter 12, price must be carefully determined and match with firm’s product, distribution, and communication strategies. (Hutt & Speh, 2012, p. 300) Therefore, there should be a strong market perspective in pricing. In order to build an effective pricing policy, marketers should focus on the value a customer places on a product or service. One of the most effective ways to do so is differentiating through value creation.
Commercials make the viewer think about the product being advertised. Because of the amount of television children watch throughout the week, it allows the children to be exposed to the information over and over again. Per year, children are known to view thousands of fast food commercials. On a daily basis, a teen will usually view five advertisements and a child aged six to eleven will see around four advertisements (Burger Battles 4). Businesses use this strategy to “speak directly to children” (Ruskin 3). Although the big businesses in the fast ...
Hot Cheetos are a teenager’s favorite snack to have for lunch or any time of the day but there is one problem with eating those delicious snacks that teens probably do not care about. There has been a study that has proven when you eat hot Cheetos after a couple of minutes later without you knowing the snack will cause acute gastritis which is when the lining of the stomach becomes inflamed or swollen for a short time. The symptoms of acute gastritis are nausea, vomiting and you may experience a burning sensation in your upper abdomen. I see multiple teens at my school eating these on a daily basis and most teens eat these snacks multiple times in a day. These chips have actually sent kids to the emergency room with terrible stomach aches after
In the Frontline documentary, “Merchants of Cool” the top marketing experts discuss the teen demographic and new ways to target this seemingly difficult demographic. They are finding that teenagers contain a small amount of brand loyalty, and will consistently change brands to go with the flow of “cool.” Teens are more suspicious and resenting towards the normal marketing concepts, such as commercials, billboards, and radio advertisements, and are slowly catching onto the concept of buzz marketing.
Adolescents are always trying to feel popular, look their best, do the “cool and trendy” things, but when kids see these ads, they don’t even think about what the product actually is or how it functions. They are concentrated solely on whether or not it will boost the image that other people see them as, or how popular they will become if they have the certain product rather than logically thinking it through. There are three aspects of advertising used to help persuade consumers to buy their products, and are primarily influencing children. Three negative ways advertisers may expose children to this negative media are through humor and catchy slogans, celebrities, and self-image.
The first advertisement I found was from the AARP, showing a silver-haired woman in a red gown. The tagline on the advertisement said "To most marketers, consumers die the minute they turn 50." This statement pointed out that older people aren’t getting the advertisements they deserve. I found this interesting since it was the exact conclusion I had come to mere moments before. This advertisement could be extrapolated to show the stereotypes that older people don’t need to be advertised to because they are not a profitable population. It could be getting at a commonly held belief that as one ages, they become more and more predictable and less accepting of change. Therefore, they are less likely to buy a new or different product, and thus advertisers should not even try. Presently, the commercials and ads seem to all be pointed at 18 to 25 year olds who only care about sexy people, beer, and sports, an interesting phenomenon which was easily visible in my search.
Advertisements are found everywhere in today’s world. They have a big impact on what the consumer buys. Commercials are often aimed towards children and teens because they will ask their parents to buy the product. Another reason teens are targeted by advertisers is because they have money to spend and are willing to buy unnecessary products, especially if it is the latest and greatest. Teens feel that they need the newest electronics, clothing, and other luxury items.
Advertising uses the power of suggestion to sell a product. In the case of children, a company’s advertisement hopes to suggest that their product is best. Many food companies target children with the hopes that they can influence their parents'choices when it comes to buying a product. The product is a. Animated characters, catch phrases, and toys are used to lure a child to the product. WORKS CITED Dittmann, Melissa. A. (2004, June 6).
In order to advertise and gain more consumers advertisers know that they must deal with certain factors such as the age element. Children today consume vast majorities of media spending sometimes up to 44.5 hours or more per week watching television, on the computer, or on game screens (American Psychological Association, 2009). With this being said it allows fast food advertisers to know just where they can grasp the attention of the young. When targeting kids who are younger, a study done by Bernhardt showed that sixty-nine percent of ads aimed at children included toys and in some way movie tie-ins were present (2013). The American Psychological Association stated in their research, children six and under of...
