No es de extrañar que cuando el ejercito norteamericano quiere engrosar sus filas, procure hacer a los padres y a las escuelas sus aliadas. * Para los millennials el mayor miedo es el de estar solo el cual se posiciona aún por encima de la pobreza, enfermedades y homelessness (Euro RSCG Internacional. Estudio realizado en China, Francia, India, Estados Unidos y el Reino Unido). El ejercito norte americano lo sabe y es por eso que en sus campañas se hace énfasis en ser parte de un grupo longevo y con muy estrechos lazos entre sus miembros y crea esa sensación de comunidad a través de símbolos que se usan aún cuando sus integrantes no se encuentren en “horas de servicio” como stickers para el auto, por ejemplo. * Estudio de J. Walter Thompson, reconocida agencia de publicidad estadounidense, revela que el 84% de los millennials respetan a la U.S. Army y tres cuartos de ellos creen en el “sueño americano”. Ésta información es relevante ya que muestra cómo, a través de la educación que ofrece el Gobierno para las personas que se enlisten en el ejército, permite que a las personas cuyo futuro no...

...Marketing Excellence - Walmart Jeanette Hester Columbia Southern University Since it’s first store opening in 1962, Walmart has become one of the largest retailers in the world. Part of the corporation’s success is based on providing the lowest prices to consumers. Walmart became known for their advertising slogan “Always Low Prices. Always”. However, competition would not stand still and allow Walmart to be the only source for low priced consumer goods. Walmart sought after a revitalized image – one that involved a new campaign. The new campaign Walmart wanted would be vital to reminding consumers that it was the store for all people. With the original tagline, “Always Low Prices. Always”, upper class consumers viewed the store as providing cheap products. As a means of attracting all consumers, Walmart wanted to include all classes in their new tagline. The result was “Save Money. Live Better”. The hope here was to attract the upper class by tying emotionally to their sense of living a better life. Walmart also hoped to lose their cheaper image by leaving behind the always low prices and keying in on saving money while living the life you expect. Walmart sought to emotionally connect to all consumers through a revitalized image and tagline. And, in doing so, they also wanted to keep its loyal customers by maintaining the price leader status in the retail market. To successfully achieve this, Walmart must stick to its roots of delivering...

...López Hernández Angélica Marina. 00014531 Consumer Behavior : Essay The ways and maners consumers behave and the reasons they have for making a certain desicion are many, and different. Each consumer is separately influenced by the environment in which they live, be it work, friends, school , family, etc. Marketers should take in consideration this groups that can change or condition a desicion, for example. In countries like the U.S. family influence is not as strong and well marked as it is on Latin American, this is due to different life styles, culture , education and traditions that define each region and give them a unique essence and personality. This essence and personality based on the facts already mentioned such as culture, education, etc changes drastically a consumer’s behavior and preferences, and that is why it is so important to consider it when analysing our market. Let us now refer to the Household Life Cycle. for a start, the definitons given for household marketing on each place or for each marketer may vary for the place in which the marketer focuses, but if we were to focus on a specific place, the U.S.’s definition might be something more of a core social group that determines and defines our consumers. For example, on the U.S the Household Life Cycle (HLC) is not as long lasting as it is on Latin America because, as we said, in Latin American culture the family core is clearly stated and plays an important role on the consumer’s entire consumer’s...

...Profile Essay “What the people of Nogales need are actions not promises” (Moises Casal). These were Moises Casal’s last words before the Election Day in Nogales, Mexico. Moises is one of the two current local congressmen of Nogales, he represents the political party PAN. He won the elections July of 2008 and since then he has been working hard to help the citizens of Nogales. A local congressman suggests laws and initiatives to make the city more efficient and more comfortable to live but is not as easy as it sounds, sometimes they don’t all agree on the suggestions he makes or vice versa. His profession requires a large amount of integrity, nobility and honesty because many local congressmen instead of helping the city they have been caught stealing money from projects for the city. “Sometimes I feel really homesick” (Casal). His job makes him travel a lot to Hermosillo, the capital of Sonora. Hermosillo is 450 kilometers away from Nogales, it’s a 4 hour drive, and he stays in Hermosillo for days or even a whole week.

...also started our own officially recognized fan group that has its own site and FB pages, so again this claim is obviously false. The last claim is that we are not collectors, I dare say this is one of the most obvious falsehoods, not only does it generally go hand in hand with being a hardcore fan; but our first fan winner Revan is extremlely hard to find and when you do it is genereally for 3 times the retail, so we obviously are collecting him. To top off this latest claim the man running the Poll for JTA, Paul, is asking for photographs of collections to even begin talking to anyone about the poll. In addition to claiming campaining is cheating, it turns out Paul himself was campaining on the poll post itself. I find this disgraceful, campaing for characters but when you lose you claim cheating on the people that successfully campaigned for a character. And then throw out those votes and convince other polling sites to do the same. Paul does make another claim which he does have some point about, but only on his own site. JTA's voting system was a little different from other sites. On JTA it was asked for nominations be made in comments and not to duplicate the nominations, to vote for an already named nomination 'like' the comment. Paul said he would be monitoring this closely to prevent 'upvoting', last year this meant he would delete the duplicates and comment that that name had already been nominated. This year he didn't do that, so there were several people voting for Ben...
