...Brand Advertising • Do the ads break through the marketplace clutter? • Do they powerfully communicate the brand's promise and personality? • Do they include the "reason's why" (differentiating benefit proof points)? • Do they connect with the target consumer on an emotional level? • Do they tap into the consumer's beliefs, values, aspirations, hopes and fears? • Do they include components that are "ownable"? Nike’s strategy was to create dominant presence in media. Nike created media presence in several trend setting United State cities. TV ads linking Nike to a city were used, but real drivers were huge oversized billboards and murals on building that blanketed cities with messages featuring key Nike-sponsored athletes, not products/. The company focus its marketing on celebrity endorsement, i.e basketball, golf, soccer, and tennis. Lately Nike has also began to sponsor big sporting events so as to create huge awareness and brand following. In 2008, Nike spent significant amount on advertising in the Beijing 2008 Olympics and the Football Championship.

...Exercise 7.17 THE BANK CUSTOMER WAITING TIME CASE Recall that the bank manager wants to show that the new system reduces typical customer waiting times to less than six minutes. One way to do this is to demonstrate that the mean of the population of all customer waiting times is less than 6.1. Letting this mean be µ, in this exercise we wish to investigate whether the sample of 101 waiting times provides evidence to support the claim that µ is less than 6.1. | For the sake of argument, we will begin by assuming that µ equals 6.1, and we will then attempt to use the sample to contradict this assumption in favor of the conclusion that µ is less than 6.1. Recall that the mean of the sample of 101 waiting times is = 5.5 and assume that σ, the standard deviation of the population of all customer waiting times, is known to be 2.47 | (a) | Consider the population of all possible sample means obtained from random samples of 101 waiting times. What is the shape of this population of sample means? That is, what is the shape of the sampling distribution of ? | Normal because the sample is large. | (b) | Find the mean and standard deviation of the population of all possible sample means when we assume that µ equals 6.1. (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) | µ = 6.1, σ = | (c) | The sample mean that we have actually observed is = 5.5. Assuming that µequals 6.1, find the probability of observing a sample mean that is less than...

...recently been referring to Toyota Corolla as a brand equity. Toyota Corolla has won its great reputation from its manufacturer the Toyota Company whichhave specialized in the manufacture of lousy products and at the same time offering the best services to its customers. Offering great customer services and making products as required by the client has won Toyota Company great brand name through the word of mouth which turns out to be a company’s great asset (Muffe & Criofers, 2004). The Toyota Company specializes in building the Stalwart and other reliable vehicles but the car that won it great fame was the Toyota Corolla. Most clients who have opted to buy new vehicles mentioned that they previously owned a Toyota Corolla once (Palm, 2001). They mention reasons such as few cases in which one had to change oil, a tidy and rodent free interior, comfortable, easy pay and efficient in fuel consumption (Palm, 2001). Toyota Corolla effectively competes with other brands from other companies. Some of these brands include FOCUS from the Ford Company and the JETTA brand. A good example of a case in which the Toyota company competes well above the FOCUS and the JETTA is the fuel consumption rate in which the Toyota Corolla consumes fuel at a rate of 68.9%.In contrast, the FOCUS consumes fuel at a rate of 74.2% while the JETTA at 70.5%.The consumption rate previously mentioned is measured in miles per gallon (MPG) (Palm, 2001).

...domestic cell phone users both citizens or not. This image greatly reminds me of the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleburg, in the Great Gatsby, who were ever watchful over its characters. The eyes represent the NSA ever watching what you are saying and doing and having been photographed abroad it depicts this is and international problem. For the image depicting Synecdoche I have chosen figure 2. Figure 2 is an image of a jogger in the wintertime battling the elements to remain in health and in shape. This image depicts the “Synecdoche proves” part of the rhetorical images. This image would be great for an advertisement wishing to advertise a brand of sports wear like Under Armour or Nike wishing to show its brands durability under harsh climates even for the everyday person. The scenery looks as though it could be in your neighborhood, assuming you’re in a part of the world that gets heavy snow. And the runner looks like your average Jane or Joe so that you could feel as though with this brand you too could conquer the element in their sportswear and also gets into shape no matter the time of the year. And for the image representing Metaphor I chose a photograph of what appears to be an aged elephant. Much like how a cheetah running symbolizes speed; its like the wrinkles on this elephant shows its age and therefor symbolizes its wisdom and memory. Part Two: For part two I will be further analyzing figure 1. This image was shot in the horizontal rectangular format also called...

...1. What are the major, quantifiable value and price elements associated with the Kunst 1600? Value Elements - The total cost involved in oil changing and messiness is reduced Price Element - Increased pump durability -- The Kunst 1600 lasts 2 to 3 times longer than the incumbents in most segments. This means that repair firms will have to buy more conventional pumps than Kunst 1600s. This impacts the price a repair firm has to pay for conventional pumps (i.e., 2 to 3 times greater) and not the number of jobs it can complete. 2. What additional value placeholders merit consideration in your value model? • Weight differential – The Kunst 1600 is lighter than pumps currently used in residential AC repairs and heavier than those used in home refrigerator and light commercial refrigerator repairs. These weight differences may impact technician preferences. • Durability of parts – As the Kunst 1600 is constructed of molded aluminum, its parts may be subject to less corrosion and thus last longer. • Brand equity – Currently, Kunst and Atler have little brand equity in the potential market segments. This may put them at a competitive disadvantage with long-established rivals. 3. Construct a customer value model for the Kunst 1600 in the residential AC, home refrigerator, and light commercial refrigerator repair market segments. Exhibits 1 and 2 contain the components needed to construct a customer value model for the Kunst 1600. Exhibit 1 contains the word equations...

...Literary elements in “ She walks among the untrodden ways” Jacqueline Garcia ENG125: Introduction to Literature Robert Frost says, "There are three things, after all, that a poem must reach: the eye, the ear, and what we may call the heart or the mind. It is most important of all to reach the heart of the reader." (Clugston, 2012) How true is this? Each writer has to tap into the sense on the reader to convey each ones feelings. How is it that we can take their attempts to do just that and understand it from a reader stand point? The answer is key literary elements; there are many kinds of literary elements that can allow readers to do this without completely getting frustrated and giving up on wonderful pieces of literature. Identifying the key literary elements in literature allows for a deeper understanding and appreciation for the particular piece that’s being read. The elements help articulate a response and a reactions to what the author is trying to convey, or wants to you grasp from it. While reading a particular piece of literature by Willaim Wordsworth called “She dwelt among the untrodden ways” (Wordsworth, 1798) I found that the three key elements that help me gain a response and capture a reaction to the poem were figurative language, tone and theme. Each one allowing me to better understanding of what the author was trying to convey. Some people might get one thing from it and other another but non-the less his message will be convey something to whomever reads...
