...Rising Competition Breath mints have reached the maturity stage of the product life cycle. This means our company faces more competition than ever. In response to the saturated market, we must decide whether re-branding and redesigning our packaging is a way we would like to attract new consumers to our product, increase consumption and, therefore, increase our market share of the breath mint market. It is important our company understands the risks and benefits of changing our packaging, that has remained the same for over forty years. In addition, we must understand how our consumers will react to a packaging change, as well as how we want to advertise any packaging change we commit to; this will be best done through exploratory research methods. Market Research Ever since our introduction in 1969, the market for breath mints has steadily increased. According to packagedfacts.com, in 2003 sixty two percent of households used breath mints. In 2003, Tic Tac was the preferred choice of breath mints, but since then other mints have increased competition. Lifesavers were on Amazon's top list of best selling breath mints in 2014. One possible solution to become the best selling brand of breath mints is to redesign our packaging. This comes with obvious benefits and risks. First, in our consumer base's decision-making process, recognition is the most important thing. American society cultivates a world obsessed on looking and feeling good, and many people feel the need for...

...story and a rarity will trump everything else," said Douglas Mudd, curator of the American Numismatic Association Money Museum in Colorado Springs, Colo., which has held the coin for most of the past 10 years. He expects it could bring more than Heritage Auction's estimate, perhaps $4 million and even up to $5 million. "A lot of this is ego," he said of collectors who could bid for it. "I have one of these and nobody else does." The sellers who will split the money equally are four Virginia siblings who never let the coin slip from their hands, even when it was deemed a fake. The nickel made its debut in a most unusual way. It was struck at the Philadelphia mint in late 1912, the final year of its issue, but with the year 1913 cast on its face — the same year the beloved Buffalo Head nickel was introduced. Mudd said a mint worker named Samuel W. Brown is suspected of producing the coin and altering the die to add the bogus date. The coins' existence wasn't known until Brown offered them for sale at the American Numismatic Association Convention in Chicago in 1920, beyond the statute of limitations. The five remained together under various...

...I. Introduction The Royal Mint has a unique manufacturing operation in the United Kingdom and also designated as an executive agency responsible to the treasury to the “Her Majesty's” Government. Its objective is to provide the government with coinage at a competitive price and its manufacturing requirement ranges from high volumes of standard coinage to individual service medals or commemorative coins. In the case of the Royal Mint, they follow a unique cost ceiling that their cost base must always be less than the face value of the coins being produced. In order to follow that unique cost ceiling, the researchers follow the concept of simultaneous design by being involved in initiatives to improve materials being used in both coins and dies. Then due to high inflation rate, the face value of the coin is exceeding the cost base of the raw material and with the help of using the concept of simultaneous design, the Royal Mint quickly mitigated the risk by changing the composition of the 2 Pound and 1 Pound coins to a steal core with an electroplated copper outer layer and has significantly reduced the unit cost and it added expected lifetime by using a less expensive metal base. II. Background The Royal Mint has a cost ceiling that the cost base of the material must be less than the face value of the coin being produced. In order to follow that unique cost ceiling, the Royal Mint implemented the Concept of Simultaneous Design to research on how to further improve...

...write about is dealing with sold out items. I am a man who takes pride in his shoes, so I tend to go to drastic measures to get a certain pair. Standing on a line outside of a store, waiting for hours, is natural, as long as I get my shoes, you may call it crazy but that’s the life of a sneaker head. The purpose of waiting before the store opens is too secure your pair, but this one time was not the case. I walked in and found out that my size was sold out. I quickly went to another store within the mall and there too, the shoe was sold out. Not only was I aggravated that they didn’t have my shoes, the employees tried taking advantage of my vulnerability and kept offering me other shoes just to get their commission, but I wasn’t interested. I kept looking for these pairs of shoes from store to store but to no avail. The last store on my list did not have my shoes, and I once again would’ve left empty handed if it wasn’t for an employee that gave me an excellent idea. He came and asked me if I needed assistance and I told him my dilemma, he then told me that even though they didn’t have my size the best thing to do, would be to purchase a size they did offer and then sell it online for a profit. “Genius” I thought, why didn’t I think of this, it was a way for me to in turn make more money off of a shoe that I wouldn’t wear and later be able to purchase that shoe if I can find it, get another pair of shoes I like or just keep the extra money . In turn that is what I did, I bought the...

DESCRIPTION OF GPS SHOES Figure 1: designer GPS shoes, Dominic Wilcox British designer Dominic Wilcox has created a pair of prototype shoes which offer to guide the wearer home with built-in GPS navigation. The inspiration for the clever footwear derives from The Wizard of Oz character Dorothy’s red shoes, which famously transported her home with a click of her heels. Naturally, the GPS system within Wilcox’s shoes is also activated by clicking the heels together. Figure 2: GPS shoes designed by dominicwilcox The shoes, named No Place Like Home, were commissioned by the Global Footprint project in Northamptonshire, which seeks to highlight the county's rich history of shoe making. In order to construct his design, Wilcox teamed up with interactive arts and technology expert Becky Stewart and Northamptonshire shoe maker Stamp Shoes. A GPS unit contained within the heel of the left shoe communicates wirelessly with the right shoe and provides data to the integrated LED lights, which display both the correct direction home, and how much of the journey still remains.

Retrieved from www.dsw.com Organizational Strengths and Weaknesses A major strength of any DSW is the extraordinary customer service and wide selection of designer and non designer shoes. The amount of discounted high end shoes is a huge bonus above there competitors. They have a distinctive system to keep shoes updated or to rotate them to the clearance. Their uniformity of the stores is huge plus when it comes to shoppers in different states looking for the same thing. Many stores should take notes on there quality of service and implement it into there training devices. There is a discount card that can give you bonuses, track your purchases whether online or in the store also works on clearance items. There biggest new sellers are the accessories from bags, socks, clothing, wallets, makeup. A big weakness is at this time they don’t have a line for children which there competitors do. There target market is woman which takes 70% of there store inventory although they do sell shoes and accessories for men it is not a large selection. A setback with such large amounts of inventory is the chance of an item not selling and having a vast amount of overstock left. Even with the discounts the company loses money on items that do not sell even after being marked down up to 75% off. Like many retailers there is a large...

...I only thought not wearing shoes regularly was mostly for people that live in poor developing countries, until I noticed a fellow BGSU student never wearing shoes. This has not been just a one-time occurrence; every time I see him on my Wednesday walk to class or even just around campus he has never had shoes on! Not wearing shoes I later found out has become a somewhat large debate, dealing with the many benefits, along with some potential dangers. I was definitely surprised with all of the research I found, since I never really pondered deeply about how shoes have changed the lives of so many people. After all shoes were originally created to solely protect our feet from harsh terrain, and now they are advertised for many more benefits. The important question to ask now is do all of the benefits shoes provide outweigh the benefits of just going barefoot? One of the first websites I looked...

Worn by Argentine farmers for hundreds of years, alpargatas were the inspiration for the classicstyle of TOMS.

Mycoskie considered sustainability when creating TOMS, in that by starting a business rather than acharity would help his impact last longer. In Mycoskie’s speech at the Second Annual Clinton Global Initiative,he recalled that children without shoes were not only susceptible to health risks, but were also not allowed toattend school.

...entering the market in 2005, Dr.Scholls® insoles For HerTM was created to ease the discomfort many women experience from their shoes, specifically high heels. The product was originally intended to focus on older women who suffered from foot problems. Only recently has the For HerTM line been shifted to attract the younger demographics (ages 18-50). The types of women who will purchase products from the Dr. Scholl’s® For HerTM line tend to be women who are into the latest shoe fashions and are attracted to a variety of styles. The past 5 years, the women’s shoe industry has seen an increase in sky-high heels. Designers are adding more inches to many of their high heels. Sky-high heels are generally tended to attract women of a younger demographic (ages 18-35). Although these sky-highs are the latest trend, many of these shoes lack comfort. Not to mention the medical implications that can surface from wearing them for long periods of time. Many women, especially younger women, who enjoy purchasing fashionable shoes, will sacrifice comfort just for style. Increasing the awareness of this product will give women the opportunity to wear their shoes longer without discomfort. While it is said that higher price does not always guarantee quality, when it comes to women’s shoes many times the more expensive shoe brands are in fact more comfortable that those shoes on the cheaper end. Young women between the ages of 18 to 35 find themselves either in college or beginning their careers. Which...

...assessment Introduction Marikina is known as the biggest manufacturer of quality shoes in the Philippines. The main purpose of the paper is to study about the Economy of the shoe industry in Marikina. Marikina encountered a big problem in the shoe industry with the entry of imported products especially from China. But currently, there are steps being made by the city government of Marikina to relieve its shoe industry, which the Filipinos used to be so proud of, from this crisis and to revive it. Background of the Study Laureano Guevara, known as the “Founder of the Marikina Shoe Industry,” was born 162 years ago today. Born on July 4, 1851, he introduced shoe making in Marikina when he opened his own shop in 1881. At the time of his death on Dec. 30, 1891, there were already 15 household shoe factories in Marikina. Also known as “Capitan Moy,” he also served as capitan municipal in the city. A historical marker honoring him as the “pioneer of the shoe-making industry in Marikina” was installed at his birthplace in 1970. Last year, Marikina disclosed that the symposium is very timely considering that the shoe industry has been in a decline since the year 2000 due to the entry of shoe products from other countries such as China. Before suffering a decline more than a decade ago, Marikina City has more than 1,000 shoemakers, including the popular ones such as "Valentino", "Otto Shoes" and "Rusty Lopez" but the number declined to about 120 shoemakers as of today.

...Background Walking with high-heeled shoes is a common cause of venous complaints such as pain, fatigue, and heavy-feeling legs. The aim of the study was to clarify the influence of high-heeled shoes on the venous return and test the hypothesis that women wearing different styles of high-heeled shoes present an impaired venous return when compared with their values when they are barefoot. Methods Thirty asymptomatic women (mean age, 26.4 years) wearing appropriately sized shoes were evaluated by air plethysmography (APG), a test that measures changes in air volume on a cuff placed on the calf, while they performed orthostatic flexion and extension foot movements and altered standing up and lying down. The test was repeated in four situations: barefoot (0 cm), medium heels (3.5 cm), stiletto high heels (7 cm), and platform high heels (7 cm). The APG values of venous filling index (VFI), ejection fraction (EF), and residual volume fraction (RVF) were divided into four groups according to heel height and compared by repeated-measures analysis of variance. Results RVF was increased in the groups wearing high heels (stiletto and platform) compared with the barefoot group (P < .05). RVF was increased in the medium-heel group (3.5 cm) compared with the barefoot group (P < .05), and despite the lack of statistical significance, the medium-heel group showed lower values of RVF compared with the two high-heel groups. The EF parameter followed the opposite tendency, showing higher...
