...Favorite Brand Paper 1 Favorite Brand Paper February 16, 2015 Favorite Brand Paper 2 In the field of marketing the most important factor is the value of a brand. A majority of the consumers today prefer a certain brand and want t stick to that brand indefinitely. This is the reason why every company tend to spend a large amount of their budget in marketing their product in order to build a relationship with the consumer which can stick to them for a long time. As far as my personal choice is concerned, I tend to buy a product based on the price, however one brand that I will not compromise on is Dawn dishwashing soap. In this paper, I will discuss three different reasons as to why I like the product Dawn. I will also discuss Dawn’s competitors and why they do not match up to the capabilities of Dawn. Dawn is a registered trademark of Proctor and Gamble. Dawn was created in 1973 since then it has become a household name in America and internationally. Dawn is not only a dishwashing soap but it also comes in dishwasher products too. Dawn also prides itself in the fact that it is good for use on animals and has helped conservation organizations for over 35 years. One of the reasons I love the brand Dawn is because of its ability to cut grease. The Dawn bleach alternative power soaking product is amazing in cleaning grease...

...Favorite Brand Paper Rebecca Lynn Harjo BSHS MKT/421 June 28, 2014 William Alan Mc Intyre Sony’s logo is customarily in block letters with the bottom of the letters slightly faded. Sony also has an additional logo for their PlayStation models; it is a red capital P standing over a yellow, green, and blue striped upper case S lying flat on under the P. Sony’s brand name logo is very recognizable because it is their name, however, I feel that it lacks a certain quality that would promote the brand; there is nothing special about their logo. I think that Sony’s logo for their PlayStations does a superior job promoting the brand because whenever someone sees PlayStations PS logo they immediately recognize it as PlayStation; it is far more eye catching than just the word Sony. The second reason I like Sony is because of VR. There’s something so fantastically science-fiction about the concept of virtual reality. It’s the closest thing we have to jetpacks and hover-boards, those futuristic technologies we watched on TV as kids, and read about in books. And with virtual reality, we’ll be able to finally drive in flying cars and take trips to the moon. Because VR is so steeped in science-fiction, I can’t help but also recall the dire warnings: People lost in alternate worlds, virtual reality junkies, incapable or unwilling to unplug. Perhaps anti-social isn’t even the right word—unsocial, detached, and isolated. When we play games on the TV or our PC or phone, we’re often playing...

Palmer’s cocoa butter wears out fast and I have had to reapply it throughout the day, it is very thin and leaves my skin dry unlike like Queen Helene’s cocoa butter crème.

...Favorite Brand Paper MKT/421 June 4, 2014 Nike Nike Inc. was first founded in 1964 as “Blue Ribbon Sports” by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight. It wasn’t until 1971 that it was re-named “Nike” after the Greek winged goddess of victory, strength, speed, glory, and fame. The Nike “swoosh” is meant to represent the wings of the goddess Nike, as she was often depicted in mythology with. The iconic swoosh was created by Caroline Davidson, an advertising student at Portland University. She was a freelancer asked to design a graphic logo that could fit on the side of a shoe by Phil, and she sold him her design for $35. The first interaction between the founders of Nike was in 1959, when track coach Bill Bowerman met Phil Knight; who was a runner at the University of Oregon where he was coaching. The need for the company arose out of Bill’s desire to find lighter, more durable racing shoes for his university track team, and Phil’s desire to find a way to make a living without having to give up his love of sports. The two put their heads together, and the end product was a company that now dominates the market in its sportswear segment, despite having begun as a small distributing outfit from the back of Phil’s car. While Phil was obtaining his MBA degree at Stanford in the 60’s, Professor Frank Shallenberger assigned his students with a project; the goal of which was to devise a small business and a marketing plan for its success.

...Favorite Brand Paper There are several brands that I use on a daily basis but my favorite brand hands down is Apple, Inc. The product in particular that has created my romance with this company would be the IPhone. I have been using the IPhone since the first day it arrived on June 29, 2007 and I have been a loyal consumer up to my recent purchase of the IPhone 6 Plus, last month. Apple, Inc. has over $100 billion in sales and increased in sales every year consistently since its launch. I am committed to the quality, innovation, design, and simplicity that Apple, Inc. has provided to me consistently over the last 7 years. Apple, Inc. starts with a commitment to producing the very best product or service that you can imagine. This promise started when the late Steve Jobs took the CEO position at Apple, Inc. and created a marketing blitz with the launch of the IPhone, IPod, and IPad. On January 9, 2007 Steve Jobs delivered the most incredible keynote speech of his life and quite possibly the best in the history of consumer electronics (imore.com, 2014). Steve Jobs said,” That he would be introducing a wide screen IPod with touch controls, a revolutionary mobile phone, and a breakthrough internet device.” It was not going to be three separate products but one innovative product the IPhone. The world’s most successful brands don’t become (or remain) the world’s most successful brands without deep dedication to their customer’s needs. Apple’s customer service is legendary. Spend...

...I am passionate about Queen Helene Cocoa Butter Crème (QHCBC). “Queen Helene® brand has been a leader in quality and beauty products for professional and personal use since 1930. Our products are inspired by nature’s finest ingredients because they are safer, and often more effective, than harsh chemicals and unnecessary additives. We are proud to have created a full line of affordable and effective body care products that are still passed on from generation to generation” (Queen Helene, 2015). This brand has become one of my favorite brands because it provides a natural remedy oppose to risky and expensive cosmetic procedures that promise youthful skin. This product provides longer lasting soft and smooth skin than most brands on the market. Although other brands may have more notoriety, like Palmer’s cocoa butter, it provides lower grade ingredients. Palmer’s Cocoa Butter is a more expensive product and because of its mass production it beats QHCBC in popularity with consumers. Palmer’s provides a diminished product that wears out fast when used which causes consumers to have to reapply the product constantly opposed to QHCBC. I can apply QHCBC once, and it is penetrated into my skin through the day even after washing my hands. QHCBC is my favorite brand because it is applicable to the body and face. Unlike other products designated for a specific body part and is affordable and is carried in a wide variety of stores that offers hair products. I was introduced to...

...Interview 1: 1. Her favorite pair of jeans are made by Rockin’ Revival. She likes them because they have a lot for detailing (very thick, typically vibrant stitching) which she finds to be both fun and less work because she does not have to accessorize. 2. Some challenges run into while jeans shopping would be dealing with her “motherly shape”, which says is a little bit of tummy (so fitting in the waist), as well as fitting in the butt which also bigger. 3. Levi’s were the classic brand from when I was younger, so I own a lot of pairs of those from my 20’s and early 30’s however they do not fit the mommy shape. Because they no longer cater towards her size she started to look at other brands and found that Rockin’ Republic made jeans that fit her “bigger areas” perfectly. 4. Nordstrom Rack, Buckle and Maurice’s are her favorite stores. Because they both carry the brand and style of jeans that she likes (thick stitching kind of glamy jeans). Plus, Nordstrom has some great jean sales and Nordstrom Rack carries discounted brands. 5.
