...Marketing Trends Research Arthur Downs MGT/300 –Survey of Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship 4/22/13 Steven Schreiber John Schnatter founded papa John’s Pizza in the year 1984. John began his career in a small pizza restaurant in the City of Jeffersonville, Indiana. Upon completing his High School education, he matriculated to Ball State University. While attending college at Ball State he continued working in the pizza industry, working at another pizzeria. It was here that he learned much of what he knows about the pizza business. After completing college he returned home and found that, his father’s Bar was encountering financial trouble. Seeing this, John decided that he had to do something. He decided to sell his 1972 Camaro and use the money from the sale of his car to save his dads bar and knock down one of the walls in the bar and use this space to make a small pizzeria inside the bar. This was the first official Papa John’s Pizzeria. “I put my heart and soul, and everything I had learned from my father and grandfather, into my pizza business, and it paid off” (papajohns.com, 2012). From the beginning of his pizzeria, John used a totally different approach to pizza making than other pizzerias.

...RECENT TRENDS IN VIRAL MARKETING *Ritu ABSTRACT 2010 looks to be the biggest year ever for online marketing. With more and more marketers demanding results-based advertising, it is no wonder viral marketing is becoming one of the fastest-growing trends. Nothing captures the essence of viral marketing better than the description of how a virus grows. It is uncanny in its ability to remain shrouded in secrecy till it wins by sheer weight of numbers. It piggybacks on other hosts, and grows by feeding on their resources, not its own. It doesn’t need to mate- it replicates itself. And with the right kind of environment, it can grow exponentially, as can be seen by the 1’s above. Viral Marketing, naturally, is something that draws upon these fundamental characteristics of a virus- exponential growth with minimum use of one’s own resources. It refers to any strategy that encourages individuals to pass on a ‘message’ to other individuals, who in turn pass it on to other people, and so on and so forth, thereby allowing for an exponential growth in the popularity and exposure of the message. This paper examines as to how viral marketing can make a brand name stand out from the competition and some strategies important to make viral marketing campaigns unique . The paper identifies trends that will increase the likelihood of a successful online viral marketing campaign and demonstrate how these strategies market. With a discussion on how the risks and rewards of a viral campaign differ...

...Trend Article Analysis University of Phoenix – MGT373 Jennifer Choy August 21, 2011 In this day and age there are millions of trends that are present in almost every industry. In order for an organization to be successful it is essential that they follow some of these trends so that their company appeals to people. This proves to be true for the event planning and convention industries. Two articles that pinpoint a couple different trends are “Nifty gadgets taking special events to a new level” and “ The article “Nifty gadgets taking special events to a new level” is a great example of trends within the planning and convention industries. In the years 2001-2004 these industries saw a huge decline in business. The reason for this was the failing economy. Companies and organizations could no longer fit events and gatherings into the budget. In 2005 event planning companies such as Dolce parties finally started to see an incline in corporate parties and events. However, these parties and events were at a much smaller scale. It was only the important people that were being invited to these gatherings because the budgets were still not back to where they were. Since the comeback of events was at a slow pace, event planners and convention industries decided to introduce some new gadgets to attract clientele. According to Stableford ( 2005)“Beyond the typical post-event surveys and evaluation of how many sales leads actually translate into qualified...

...when this promotion is going to end either. This information is supported by my findings too. The majority of the men I interviewed did say that they could no longer afford to spend large amounts of money on individual garments. Instead they stressed that before £100+ jeans would not have bothered them, however now they would be looking to spend below this figure. [pic] I felt that it was extremely important that I explored any weaknesses the consumers felt were an issue too. The main problem was that men would like to have some coloured denim within the range rather than just the same denim washes they always have. It was obvious that many consumers felt that there was not a wide enough range in terms of styles that reflects current trends; instead the styles are just subtle changes across their product range. When analysing the primary research,...

...a noun, “Fashion is a popular trend or the manner of doing something”. As a verb, it says “make into a particular or required form”. To me, fashion is a never ending cycle of various styles that people can express themselves through. It is a movement that allows individuals to show who they really are through clothes. Throughout the past 65 years, fashion evolved so much in so many different ways. I decided to take a look at those ways and to see how fashion has come about to what it is now and how some trends still remain the same until this day as a classic. The 60’s was the year that the television had a huge impact on what people were exposed to, such as fashion trends. It helped the youth stay in touch with what was...

Ahmad Jan 120070118 Hussam Alowaibeel 120070103 Marketing 420 - Direct Marketing Dr. Mikhail Zenchenkov ABSTRACT While firms strive to survive by gaining a significant market share and to position their products in the market with the ultimate aim of generating sufficient profits to sustain their survival, research has demonstrated that the marketing approach adopted by these firms underlies the strength of their positions in the market today. That has driven a significant number of firms in the world to invest a significant share of their revenues to conduct the marketing of their product using direct marketing strategies on the best media that has in the recent past unveiled itself, social media. Typically, that is because the internet has virtually merged the real world with the virtual world and its presence in the whole world is overwhelming. Unlike, therefore, the traditional marketing strategies that focused on segmentation with the 4Ps underlying concepts, a radical departure in the recent past where social media is increasingly taking the place of social media has been the trend. However, the implications and future trend share that firms have to fully get into the internet and use social media as one of the best strategies of direct marketing to reap the benefits of direct marketing strategies...

...restaurants have been opening one after another due to its popularity and success which entrepreneurs saw as an opportunity to open other famous ramen restaurants as it has become a trend. In SM Megamall as I walk inside the new Mega Fashion Hall crowded with people in the late night, I take the elevator to go up on the 3rd floor of the building where the well-known recently opened ramen restaurant called Ippudo Ramen is. The first sight that will appear before your eyes after the elevator doors open will be a crowd of people lining up for Ippudo. The wait is definitely worth it as the food there is extravagant and definitely food that you will come back with. In an interview from Shigemi Kawahara, he said that the reason people line up in Ipuddo might be “Because it’s delicious. We train our staff that every single bowl of ramen has to have a smile and maybe our customers can feel that. It’s very easy to serve a good bowl of ramen. Delicious ramen is everywhere, but what’s important to us is the quality, the service and the cleanliness” (Japan’s World-Famous Ramen House Opens in Manila). I have eaten their food and I would like to say that the food is divine with rich flavors that Filipinos will love and so far has been the best ramen restaurant in the Philippines in my opinion. The food trend started pretty recently in the Philippines as Filipinos are only beginning to appreciate...
