Realizing that there are many landscape designers and companies that capitalize in this business, this architect comprehends that he must be on the cutting edge to get recognized and sell his services. He can boast of completing many "gratis" jobs while completing his degree, and his accolades are many; it is time to start profiting from the toils of his education and marketing his skills. Marketing requires not only business savvy, but also mandates that the businessman has a considerable amount of information technology acumen in his pocket or the where-to-all of how to secure it. Using Web 2.0 tools and monopolizing on his enterprise associates, including those strong, weak and potential ties will help this aspiring landscape architect compete in a business that incorporates landscape professionals as well as yard maintenance individuals who claim to have the skills this entrepreneur holds. This landscape architect places promotional signs in his completed jobs, passes out business cards regularly, and provides services to civic organizations focused on community beautification, in an effort to create a positive corporate...

History of the Web Decline of Web 1.0 and Rise of Web 2.0 The web as we know it began as Web 1.0. It was an early design that was seen more as an incredibly rough and un-appealing draft than the innovative intricate design that we see today.

Web 2.0 allows Web users to be a part of the development and growth of different websites and the web, instead of just visiting a website and browsing through its information. Different applications and information technologies include Wikis, Mashups, Tagging, Blogs and blogging abilities, Podcasting and video uploading, etc (R. Kelly Rainer & Turban, 2009). A few disadvantages of Web 2.0 is the fact that communication and sharing of information has now become unrestricted. This means that copyrighted material caqn now be infringed upon and even altered.

...Marketing for Management UnME Jeans Case Team 6 11/25/13 1) I would suggest Foley should pursue the Zwinktopia media plan. I believe that this is her best choice based on several reasons. First, compared to YouTube and Facebook, Zwinktopia’s targets market is girls 13-24 and focuses on the contents of fashion and music, which fits right into the target group of UnME jeans. Second, second life virtual product sales (Exhibit 10) showed that apparel comprised the largest percentage (34%) of purchases made on SLexchange. Also, by mid-2007, second life appeared to be losing ground to other virtual worlds such as Zwinktopia. Therefore, it is reasonable to believe that marketing on Zwinktopia will not only increase UnME brand awareness, but also would increase sales. Third, UnME will have its virtual retail store to announce any products when new jeans are release in the real world. Also, the platform allows users to design the jeans for their avatar, which they could then share with other avatars. I believe Zwinktopia is a good platform that would better convey the message that Foley wants sends to the target customers. In addition, Zwinktopia’s marketing plan is the most economical one among all social medias. Zwinktopia has cheaper one-time charge fee, and the cost of using Zwinktopia is $100,000 annually while $150,000 for Facebook quarterly, and $300,000 for YouTube plus CPM of $40. In sum, adopting Zwinktopia would directly reach out UnMe’s target teenage and deliver UnME’s...
