Assignment 2 Question 1. Take a trip to a department store. Evaluate the in-store marketing effort. Which categories or brands seem to be receiving the biggest in-store "push?" What unique in-store merchandising efforts do you see? I took a trip to a department store named ‘Rainbow Cash & Carry’. There were a lot of products being marketed in the store but some of them were marketed with extra efforts. There were a lot of banner and signs put up in the store regarding products and deals. As I entered the store the first thing I laid my eyes on was a huge sign of Coca Cola, which was lit up and it caught my attention instantly. After that as I moved a little forward, there were banners and huge pictures of Pantene shampoo and conditioners. …show more content…
They can generate much revenue by focusing and creating their good image in the market. It’s a difficult task to handle a focused brand. Justfab is a brand whose focused area is “shoes”. They offer some trendy and fashionable shoes which match the modern and the latest fashion. Positive consequences Nowadays technology is spreading so fast and the concept of online shopping is also enhanced much.

Haagen-Dazs vs Ben and Jerry’s ice cream, Aquafina vs. Dasani water, Michelin vs. Goodyear tires, Holiday Inn vs. Comfort Inn motels, Heineken vs. Michelob beer, and Budweiser vs. Miller beer could be used. Aquafina vs. Dasani water Aquafina Dasani water Memorability Aquafina is more memorable than Dasani Water because of its attractive name that’s Aqua means clear water which is very attractive . Dasani didn’t have that much recognition as compare to Aquafina because people can’t find any relation or associationship with product’s name. Protectability Aquafina in Pakistani is protected because many fake or unauthorized manufacturers are manufacturing it illegally and they have become a strong mafia. Unlike Aquafina, Dasani Water is still very protected and reliable in the Market . Adaptability Aquafina cannot modify their product but can change logo’s, Bottle size, shape, etc and doing it very well Dasani Water also cant change its product but working pretty much good in attracting their customers . Likability Aquafina provides low price product as compare to other competitor hence more likable than other products. Dasani Water is relatively expensive that’s why didn’t attract much market share.
The beer brands were classified as popular, premium, super premium, and ultra-premium. The distinguishing factor determining if brands belonged to different classes was whether beer was produced by four largest companies (Anheuser-...
Fiji Company is one of the top bottle water brands in the United States. Fiji was “founded in 1996 out of the desire to share the earth’s finest water with the world” (Fiji, n.d). Its water is being exported from the Fiji islands around the world across fifty countries and the United States. According to the company’s website, their water is “slowly filtered by volcanic rock [where] it gathers minerals and electrolytes that create Fiji’s soft, smooth taste.” Although they say their water comes from this exclusive source, “the manufacturing process is energy-intensive and produces toxic byproducts. The plant that makes the bottles is one part of Fiji you’ll never see pictured on a Fiji Water bottle” (Niman, 2007, para. 7). Of course the company will always show th...
Companies realize what people need and they take it as sources to produce commodities. However, companies which have famous brands try to get people’s attention by developing their products. Because there are several options available of commodities, people might be in a dilemma to choose what product they looking for. In fact, that dilemma is not real, it is just what people want. That is what Steve McKevitt claims in his article “Everything Now”. When people go shopping there are limitless choices of one product made by different companies, all choices of this product basically do the same thing, but what makes them different is the brand’s name. Companies with brands are trying to get their consumers by presenting their commodities in ways which let people feel impressed, and that are some things they need to buy. This is what Anne Norton discussed in her article “The Signs of Shopping”. People are often deceived by some famous brands, which they will buy as useless commodities to feel they are distinctive.
According to Barnett, pictures on the bottle “often suggests a source more exotic than the water’s origins”, giving a sense that the water might be spring-water (138). Although labels create misunderstandings about its origin, it does not merit as a lie because bottled water companies call their water “drinking water”, “purified water”, or “natural water” (Barnett 138), which is not specific as to where the water comes from. The fact that Nestle gets their water 5000 feet from Madison Blue serves as a proof that that water is not really spring-water (Barnett 137). This means that the real source of water in bottles does not correlate with the implied source of water from labels. In this situation, Barnett shows that labels misguide consumers. But since labels do not directly specify the water source, one can only comment on the stealth of bottled water businesses. Also, because they handle their advertisement in such a manner, they often confuse consumers about their water source. In addition, the misleading marketing scam presented in Gleick’s article narrows down Barnett’s argument by further detailing the description of the content. Gleick’s focus on the description of the content suggests that instead of only questioning what the content is regarding the source; the description of the content should be inspected as well. He uses “

However, early sales of the Quartz have been disappointing.

Case Study: Victoria's Secret OVERVIEW Victoria's Secret, one of the world's most recognizable fashion brands, established itself in the Bay Area in the early 1970s. Originally owned by an ambitious Stanford graduate looking for a comfortable and high-end retailer to buy his wife lingerie, Roy Raymond opened the first store at Stanford Shopping Center. Styled after a Victorian boudoir, Raymond's success prompted him to open three other locations, a catalog business, and a corporate headquarters within a few years. His inability to balance finances with his creative vision, Roy Raymond fell into trouble and was forced to sell his company for the small sum of $1 million dollars to The Limited, an Ohio-based conglomerate owned by Les Wexner.

Tap water had many contaminants but not as much as Fiji. Bottled water prices are worth the security of clean and drinker able water. As I explore water prices it is worth the price because of taste and less contaminants. In research on how much
