...1. Why are Baby Boomers such a lucrative market? Baby boomers have a lucrative market because unlike the generation before them they want a lot of different things available to them. They are a perfect target market because they are willing to pay for what they want and they have the money to do so. Baby boomers are also usually more financial secure and if they like what you have to offer they’ll keep coming back. This generation also finds their health important and they keep up with diet and excises. With the average life span increasing that could give a company increased profits over time. 2. How has the marketing research process been used to understand how Baby Boomers shop and interact in stores? The research involved dressing up a person in a way that replicated what a person in their 70’s is feeling. They duplicated how a baby boomer gets merchandise off shelves and how high or low they look on the selves. By using observation methods researchers were able to record how a person’s physical conditions impacted their lives and buying decisions. They did all of this in a way that didn’t make the baby boomers feel embarrassed or put down. 3. How have stores used marketing research findings to tailor their stores and products to appeal to Baby Boomers?

...Question 1: Why are Baby Boomers such a lucrative market? The Baby Boomer generation is massively different than its younger counterparts. They have a diversity of products available to them. The main reason why Baby Boomers are such a lucrative market is because that generation has a $3.4 trillion in annual buying power. Many of the products like cars and technical products that were thought to purchased more by millennials are purchased by more by baby boomers or more older generations. Also, research has shown more than 20 percent of the U.S. population is estimated to be 65 years or older by 2030, so with an annual buying power of $3.4 trillion per year, it would be in a company’s best interest for business to market towards that demographical...

...should actively encourage their students to choose fields of study that will prepare them for lucrative careers. In this fast- moving world, looking at the immense competition, choosing a career which benefits by earning a job right after completion of education would seem advantageous. But, it is imperative that the students should be let free regarding the choice of the subject which interests them. According to my opinion any subject would lead to lucrative jobs unless students apply knowledge gained in the classroom to the real world. Choosing a lucrative career option without interest would rather lead them to only short term benefits. If we take an example of few subjects like Banking & Information technology which students opted for, were economically known & recognized as lucrative options in the U.S.A. But, recently due to global recession many degree pass-outs & job seekers were unable to get jobs & those who managed to get through influence failed to fetch good packages. Hence, lucrative careers depend on factors like market stability, government policies which are just unpredictable. On the other hand, fields like literature, art, architecture, agriculture, theater, marketing, music, which students had opted due to their liking were not much affected & maintained stability during the crisis period, when compared to their counterparts who chose lucrative careers. One of the great examples in recent times is Mark Zukerberg who invented – Facebook...

...CONSIDERING TRADE SCHOOL AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO COLLEGE The only conclusion that can be arrived at once reading the article “Why You Should Consider Trade School Instead of College” is that trade school delivers the most lucrative incentives for students. The incentive of this paper is to provide a synopsis of the reading. The compelling considerations the writer presents are derived from comprehensively offering comparisons and analysis. Coincidentally, such key factors: cost of tuition comparison, graduating challenges and percentages, length of time used to acquire a degree, and finally, the potential economic conditions with respect to the article where critically presented. The writer developed a targeted argument to underscore that while it was commendable and not only justifiable to attend a traditional four year college, there is more reason to justify trade school as the main choice to develop a career.

...importation of European servants and irregularly supplied African slaves. At first the Dutch supplied the slaves, as well as the credit, capital, technological expertise, and marketing arrangements. After the restoration of the English monarch following the Commonwealth (1642-60), the King and other members of the royal family invested in the Company of Royal Adventurers, chartered in 1663, to pursue of the lucrative African slave trade. That company was succeeded by the Royal Africa Company in 1672, but the supply still failed to meet the demand, and all types of private traders entered the transatlantic commerce. Between 1518 and 1870, the transatlantic slave trade supplied the greatest proportion of the Caribbean population. As sugarcane cultivation increased and spread from island to island--and to the neighboring mainland as well--more Africans were brought to replace those who died rapidly and easily under the rigorous demands of labor on the plantations, in the sugar factories, and in the mines. Acquiring and transporting Africans to the New World became a big and extremely lucrative business. From a modest trickle in the early sixteenth century, the trade increased to an annual import rate of about 2,000 in 1600, 13,000 in 1700, and 55,000 in 1810. Between 1811 and 1870, about 32,000 slaves per year were imported. As with all trade, the operation fluctuated widely, affected by regular market factors of supply and demand as well as the irregular and often unexpected interruptions...

...student’s actual capacity cannot be known just by the marks they score or their performance at assessments. So they cannot judge clearly whether the student can succeed or not. Secondly, Universities are nowadays conducting a lot of entrance exams and screening interviews where they actually judge if a student can succeed in the course or not. Consider if a student is rejected by one university he doesn’t totally stop trying in the career, he just moves to another university or try writing the exam again next year. So this shows the students’ perseverance and also even if the educational institutions dissuade by rejecting, the students are not going to heed to those. Finally in the dynamically changing world it is difficult to say which a lucrative career is. Any course you pursue may be at a boom when you join and by the time you complete the course the requirements may go down. Today the institutions are mainly based on ranking or grading system, with regular assessments...

...d, UAE, United Arab Emirates Investment Portfolio 2015 01 0102 Section B United Arab Emirates Emaar – Real Estate Giant UAE government has taken steps to facilitate real estate investors by providing lucrative visa policy and reducing mortgage rates. Government has also adopted passive fiscal policies to lure real estate to provide high capital gain and income as compared to international markets. Prevailing market trends also reflect persistent increase in real estate prices and rents. This is further assured by recent announcement of Dubai Expo 2020 which is expected to attract businesses from across the globe. Considering the fact that UAE has pegged its currency against dollar, and therefore it has little control on its monetary policy, and hence inflation, thus property is a good hedge against it. Lulu Hypermarket – Fastest growing Retail Network With 109 stores spread across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), LuLu Hypermarket is pioneer in UAE retail industry with 32% share. It is ranked as UAE’s fastest growing retail company which is a reflection of UAE’s lucrative retail sector for investment. High disposable income, massive retail estate development, population growth, influx of expats, increase in consumer confidence and rising tourism indicates strong potential for growth of the retail industry.
