Tom Shoes and Frontera chips and salsa

 1. In my opinion, Tom shoes are very fashionable and they are for a great cause. For every pair someone buys, they give a pair away. That is an awesome way to give back and have a business. 2. They arent using typical marketing techniques, because there product is used as a charity. 3. I learned how they got the whole idea to do Toms shoes. I also learned how he got his name out there to everyone, and what Tom actually stands for. 4. Rick Bayless made people aware about his product by letting them know it was made with fresh vegtables and was all home made. 5. Different marketing techniques that Frontera have used are selling the product at the restraunt. Instead of making the product in a factory, it is all home made. 6. The product tastes fresh, you can actually taste everything blended together. I think its worth the extra cost because the taste is so fresh. 7. I think the way these two products sell thier product definately works for them. They are different and thats how they get noticed.

Packaging comparison of Coke vs. Pepsi

Both products, Coke and Pepsi, have gone through many changes in thier packaging designs. Not only has the design of the bottle changed but even the look of the logo. In my opinion I like the pepsi designs better. The pepsi products have more color and design. In cokes defense, the product has the santa theme and olympic designs as well, so around those times the coke packaging is more interesting.

The structure of the coke bottle has changed its size and style over time. The original was shorter and all glass. The lids of all the bottles have changed to. The 3rd bottle was actually a different color. The bottle now is plastic no longer glass.

The labels of coke have changed as well. the original is just black and simple. Then they got more into design. Then the style of writing got fancier. Then they slowly got more color. The 1990`s bottle actually put a graphic of the bottle on the label. It also has a holiday theme. The santa on the coke product is very familiar to most. Coke also has the oplympic theme.

 

   

            Along with coke, pepsi has changed throughout the years. The can started off very plain. just a white can and with red print. Then as the years went on the cans got more color. The tabs on the can have changed as well.                                                                         

                                                                                                                

 Pepsi`s logos have changed just like the actual bottle.

Just like the coke labels, Pepsi went from only one color to more

color and design. Not only does the label just change just over years because of new ideas, it also changes for the pepsi throw back.

  Proavtiv is one of the most popular skin care products available for people who have acne. With all the competition of other products in skin care, Proactiv remains a top choice because of its advertising and promoting. Proactiv commercials are known by all. The celebrity that is thought to have perfect skin pops up on screen and confesses of their own skin issues. This makes consumers believe that using this product will result to clear and beautiful skin. Along with celebritys, the Proactiv commercials use ordinary people who share their stories.
   I believe that showing consumers results is a great why to sell a product. The "before" and "after" strategy shows people that the product does really work. Also, the idea that you are using the same product flawless celebritys use is assuring that it must work.

9/10/10 Response to: Facebook and the New Age of Privacy

   This article explains how facebook is a social media that shows personal information for all to see. Facebook allows people to recieve more attention from others. Even though this article states the public are unhappy with the ways of facebook, being a facebook user, I believe there are many ways to prevent your personal information from being shared. The article mentions that there were many complains about the privacy, and Facebook did take action. The online network made changes, and added more options for personal privacy.

   I use facebook daily, and im aware of the risk. But Facebook gives options to make anything private. You can choose to have photos, videos, your wall, and anything else private. There is also an even more in depth option to choose who it is blocked from. Facebook dosnt allow anyone to automatically become your friend. The facebook user gets to confirm or decline whoever the want. Though this article does make good points about the social media and the way privacy has changed, i believe there are many things the user can do to prevent information they want private.
