...University of Maryland University College Principles of Marketing Professor April E. Bailey TOMS Shoes Written Assignment #1 By Eduardo A. Flores 1. The video suggests that TOMS shoes are primarily bought and valued by a younger generation. Discuss how each of the following generational groups might react to TOMS shoes: the baby boomers, Generation X, and the Millennials Considering the present economic instability, the sense of environmental responsibility and the inner maturity carried by the 78 million plus baby boomers, I believe TOMS shoes would have a very proactive response from this generational group (Baby Boomers) as far as consumption is concerned. I believe it could work both ways, they might purchase them as gifts to a younger family member or they might like a model and purchase it for themselves, either way is the “One for One” marketing strategy that motivates their sense of giving (shoes) that ultimately nurtures the enjoyment of helping others while they help themselves saving some extra money. According to the textbook, Principles of Marketing 14th Edition, one study showed that boomers, on average, see themselves 12 years younger than they actually are. And rather than viewing themselves as phasing out, they see themselves as entering new life phases. “Today’s boomer’s think young no matter how old they are.” This supports the idea that boomers could adapt with easiness...

...Problem Statement Jeff Johnson, who saw that an informal Pacific style restaurant and bar on the site of a barrier island had potential for development. He then used his savings and some financial assistance from his family to build Jumpin’ Jeff’s Beach Bar on the barrier island. After Jumpin’ Jeff’s opening, Mr. Johnson soon realized that there are lots of challenges waiting for him, such as price setting, menu development, staffing issues, and cultural issues. Situation Analysis Since Jeff Johnson owns the land, Jumpin’ Jeff’s Beach Bar is the only one on this particular island.

Mr. Johnson spent a lot of money on design elements, as every supplies and equipment is shipped from Florida. The restaurant was designed in a South Seas beach-hut style with shutters, which should be pretty eyes catching.

...| A CRITICAL PERSPECTIVE ON STRATEGIC CSR AS A TOOL FOR MARKETING AND BRAND DIFFERENTIATION | | | Mattias Norén, Niklas Nygård | 2014-01-16 | | “What are the underlying reasons for abusive Strategic CSR in marketing and brand differentiation, what are the consequences and are there any solutions?” Introduction to CSR For Corporate social responsibility(CSR) a lot of different definitions exists but the one we chose to use in this report was defined by (McWilliams, Siegel och Wright)) as “actions that appear to further some social good, beyond the interests of the firm and that which is required by law”. This definition defines a wide concept that contains everything from corporate environmental strategies, employee empowerment, health and benefit plans for employees and corporate philanthropy. The linking factor between these different implementations is that corporations and businesses should expand their responsibility beyond absolute necessity and their core stakeholders group. While CSR is very modern as a defined concept it is still based on a lot of old ideas. For example many companies in the late 1800s based its business on scientific betterment which often meant that employee benefits was taken a lot further than the requirements of the law (Barley och Kunda). Today CSR has evolved to something more than the initial idea of expanded responsibility and it’s used as a tool for companies to reach goals outside of areas normally connected to CSR...

...spent the last 127 years refreshing the world, one Coke, one beverage, at a time. The evolution of The Coca-Cola Company is a true story of success, success that is contributed to producing quality products that people want, genius marketing, and effective corporate strategic planning. At Coca-Cola’s inception, only 9 servings of Coke were sold per day, and today, 10,450 Coca-Cola beverages are consumed each second; Coca-Cola is what success tastes like. Coca-Cola is the world’s largest beverage company and is strong all the way around, their financials are sound, they have a strong management and marketing team, and they produce products that people want and in some cases need. Although, even a successful company can come tumbling down, and in order to stay ahead of the competition and to continue revenue growth, I would advise the company to seek out additional business strategies in which I will explain in depth in the following sections.

...“Effective Marketing for Products” xxxxxxx “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson. The aforementioned quote is a proverb that one can reflect on as one of the greatest accomplishments one should possess. In order to stand out in a world full of conformity, one must exude characteristics of being exceptional, unique, and different, all synonyms that essentially have a base meaning of individuality. In American modern society, accomplishments such as obtaining an undergraduate degree were once scarce, now this accomplishment is considered by most to be standard. With each passing year, to get an entry level position in today’s job market is more competitive than ever due to this increase in the amount of people with undergraduate degrees. A Bachelor of Science or Arts degree now has the same value of a High School Diploma, and having a Masters degree is now considered as the standard to attain a decent position. How can one be successful in showcasing themselves and drawing attention away from the rest? A great way for an individual to learn how to be noticed is to look at oneself from a marketing standpoint. One should ask oneself, “If I were a product, how would I market myself to the masses?” For a product to be successful, it has to be cunning, fresh, and exciting. The product has to be able to be easily sold to consumers and remain in high demand for long periods...

...Assignment 2.1 Ford Analysis PSPR 6208 Strategic Marketing and Communications Fall 1 2013 1. Where would you put Ford in terms of competitive position? Why? By shifting their focus, developing a new marketing strategy and focusing on the Ford brand, Ford has dramatically enhanced their competitive position and turned things around for the company. In doing so, they strategically placed themselves back at the top in terms of competitive position. This was no small feat, especially considering the fact that they were in far worse shape than most car companies as recent as 2008 (Kotler & Armstrong pg 547). Ford with the assistance of new CEO Alan Mulally fought hard against bankruptcy and even harder to gain consumer trust in the company and the brand. This strategy has helped Ford to gain a competitive advantage, especially in terms of customer satisfaction. 2. Is Ford a market-centered company? How can it improve in this area? Considering the fact that Ford currently pays attention to both customers and competitors in designing the company’s marketing strategies, I would say they are definitely a market-centered company. This may not have always been the case, as is evident from reading the case study. At some point, Ford took its eye off the market, loosing focus, especially in regards to customer needs. I think that they were driven to shift their focus by several factors, top of mind being the dire economy. Moving forward, they will need to play...
